I was determined to get my ex back even though he dumped me. We characteristically have no concept how to get our exes back, and when we try, we say the incorrect things and isolate them completely. I made many blunders before I got my ex back.
Well first off running around town trying to see your ex and ‘accidentally’ bumping into them wherever you know they will be hanging out, will usually not work. So if that’s what you’re doing as you wonder about getting back together then it’s time to change that now.
If the breakup has been a particularly rough one, then you’re going to need to give both yourself and your ex some time to get over that before you even attempt to make a real move to make up with them and “get my ex back”.
Take yourself out of that breakup drama by distracting yourself and occupying yourself with other things before trying to “get my ex back”. This might sound like you’re actually avoiding the issue of the breakup, but you cannot make sound and rational decisions if you’re still emotionally red raw from what was said or done by you or your ex in the heat of the moment.
One idea I came up with was to get involved in something new. I thought taking a vacation would be nice. I was eager for any diversion, as long as it would get me out of the house and stop me from sitting around moping about my ex. Staying home was not the key to getting my ex back.
I decided to come to grips with what was actually going wrong in our relationship, and where I was to blame. Do not beat yourself over what you did wrong, but acknowledge it and start to think of ways to get your ex back.
Because as sure as eggs are eggs, if you sincerely want to find a way to “get my ex back”, then you’re going to have to come up with a reason for your ex to take you back and that means having a plan to change any ‘bad’ behavior that you exhibited to help cause the breakup.
It certainly is that easy for getting back together – present yourself some time to reform your thoughts, solve your role in the break-up and then attempt to “get my ex back”.
