Things don't have to end where your ex left you...you just have to do 3 things: thinking about what went wrong, fixing what went wrong, and showing your ex that you've fixed what went wrong. Now, that's a really simple way to put it, and it may be a little misleading...so I'll elaborate on each point.
Thinking about what went wrong is NOT just sitting around mourning over your dead relationship and interrogating yourself as to what's the matter with you. Yes, you need to find out what you did wrong, but hopeless whining over a bucket of ice cream isn't your target means of attack. Remember that relationships usually end because one person either wasn't getting what he or she needed out of the relationship, or something his or her partner was doing was driving him/her away.
Both of these can be lethal to even a very close relationship, but sadly they do happen, and it makes sense that they can be showstoppers. I mean, who would stay with a person who was actively driving him or her away? Who would let themselves be stuck in a relationship that just wasn't fulfilling their needs? It's harsh, but true.
You need to analyze your relationship, and figure out which you were doing. Were you pushing your ex away, or were you not providing for your ex's needs? Once you've come to understand what wasn't going right, you can work on fixing it.
When you first set out towards actually fixing the problem, it's important to remember that you can only really do anything about the problems that are your fault. It doesn't matter what you think your ex may have done wrong, it's your job to focus on yourself. Whatever you contributed to the breakup, you have to aim all of your self-improving attention at it. There are going to be sacrifices, that's just part of the process.
Now, nobody said that this will be easy, but let me tell you straight up that it's completely worth it. If you can do this, not only will you have a much higher chance of making it work with your ex but you'll also just feel better about yourself in general.
Once you've done all you can to get yourself in top relationship shape, the time comes to talk to your ex for the first time. Always remember that the first contact is very light and simple. You should be calling or emailing to see how he/she is doing, not to talk about feelings or the failed relationship. It's a sign of consideration, that you care about how he/she's doing. Don't overdo it, or you'll scare your ex off.
Once you've broken the ice again and you're spending time with one another again, let the changes you've made to yourself speak for themselves. If you did a good job on yourself, your ex will notice...and chances are you may become attractive again.
There's no such thing as an easy, foolproof fix for a broken relationship, but this formula is about the closest you'll come by. Remember too that even if your ex just simply isn't into giving it another shot, that's not the end of the world. The changes you've made to yourself will serve to both boost your confidence and make you a more attractive possibility for a lot of other people...and in a world of six billion people, you're bound to find somebody who makes you incredibly happy. Good luck.
This doesn't have to be that way. You simply need to learn how to get your ex back. It is possible, and involves doing certain things and avoiding other things.
First, let's talk about the thing you should not do. Simply avoid doing these, no matter what:
1. Chasing you ex. This is a big no-no. If you chase her or him with phone calls, emails, sending your friends as messengers and any other tricks, the only thing that will happen is that your ex start hating or fearing you. This leaves no chance of comeback what so ever.
2. Stalking your ex - again, a big no-no. If you will try to force them to see you by ambushing her or him you will only make things worse. People will start calling you "a stalker" and you will find it hard to make new friends this way.
3. Being depressed - If you let yourself slide into depression, other areas of your life will suffer. Some people even lost their job because their relationship came to an end. Don't let this happen to you.
4. Avoiding social life - If you will become a hermit as a result of a break up, that again you will only be punishing yourself. There is a big world out there, and you can find love. Be that your ex or another person.
So, what should you do? If you really want to start seeing how to get your ex back, try practicing the next 4 ways of action.
1. Create more value for yourself - When your ex left you, in many cases it was because she did not value you and your relationship high enough to stay. Therefore, your job is to create more value for yourself. For example, if you're a man, you can build more value by her hearing about you meeting other women.
2. Stay in touch - though it may hurt, stay in touch with your ex. This can be with email or sms, if you are not comfortable talking. When you do that, you remain her or him of the good times you had together and you also signal that there is a way back.
3. Do a make over - in many cases, being in a relationship for more than a year makes you less groomed. If you feel you've been neglecting yourself lately, start going to the gum and buy new and cool clothes. This will make you feel better about yourself and you will resonate that feeling to your surroundings. Your ex will feel that too.
4. Let her or him seek you out - Don't chase your ex around. Let them come to you. Doing all the things we just talked about will help you regain your confidence and your ex will feel that. Confident people attract other people, and your ex will be attracted to you again.
How to get your ex back is not rocket science. It's a simple process that will work if you apply it. If you and your ex belong together, than you will get back together eventually.
