Getting Your Ex Back - 6 Tips to Help You
July 29, 2008
When you’ve just had a blowout with your partner and you suddenly find yourself alone and calling him your ex…it’s a rough time where most people just want to find a way to pull the pieces back together and get life back to how it was. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly easy to figure out what to do to make that happen, which is why I’ve written this short list to help you out.
1) Odd as it may seem, one of the first things you need to do is break off contact with your ex for about a month. Resist all urges to contact him! If you don’t give your ex some room, nothing’ll ever work out…he needs some time to miss you! As a bonus, you get some time to clear your head as well.
2) Don’t let Hollywood fool you…sliding into a rock-bottom slump until your caring friends take care of everything for you or your ex calls you up out of the blue to get back together does NOT happen in real life. The only person you can count on is yourself, so find the motivation to rise above your depression and take back your life.
3) Surround yourself with people who care about you. Friends, family…whoever you have that puts your feelings on a level almost with their own, make sure you spend a lot of time with them. The emotional support can help you to build up the power inside you to get things done. Just don’t use them as an outlet for all your sorrows…even a saint can only take so much of another person’s misery.
4) Even if it’s forced, you should stubbornly insist to yourself that you can still live your life without your ex in it…at least for that month. Get up and take some steps to pull your life back together and start living it again. Looking great builds confidence, so go through a personal checklist of things you don’t like about yourself and fix them all. After that, show off your rebuilt hotness and “I can do this” attitude by hitting the town with some friends and having a blast. Before long the forced smile will become a real one and you’ll lose yourself in some healthy, carefree fun!
5) You can’t count on your ex to fix the relationship…he’s had his go at it, and it left you alone. If you want this to have a happy ending, you are the one person you can count on to make it work. Plan your strategy for getting your ex back so that you don’t have to rely on him for anything. You are your own greatest asset.
6) Things don’t fix themselves, and even when they get fixed they don’t always stay that way just by default. When you do get your ex back, it’s important not to let this happen again. The things the two of you resolved when you got back together should never affect your relationship again, and it’s YOUR job to make sure of it. Letting things go again just because the hard part seems to be over is nothing but a great way to bring about more trouble and heartache. If you really value your relationship, take care of it.
The main thing I’ve been trying to get across is that your life isn’t over when you lose a loved one…you can get over the pain and get him back if you just put yourself into it. Motivation and perseverance will help you win the day, and it isn’t just possible to win your ex back…the odds are in your favor! Now go get him back!
