Two Vital Things To Do To Get Your Ex Back For Good

From the time you realise you and your ex have split up, you’re on a mission to win them back. But where do you start? And how long will it take? This article shows you how to handle the situation.

Are you desperate for things to do to get your ex back? You feel helpless yet desperate to do something at the same time. This is where so many people go wrong and make a bad situation worse by doing something to try and force their ex to return immediately.

In most cases the best course of action requires a lot of patience and determination. You have to accept that your goal is most likely going to take some time. Probably your ex isn’t going to return the first time you express your wish that you both get back together, but that doesn’t mean they won’t come back to you eventually.

Use This Valuable Time

One of your greatest fears at this time is that your ex will find someone else and start dating them. This sometimes happens, but remember that relationships formed like this, “on the rebound”, seldom last long. It’s most unlikely that your ex will find themselves a long-term partner in the couple of months after your split.

That gives you valuable time to do the first of two vital things to get your ex back. The first is to formulate a plan of action by doing some serious thinking. Many people simply don’t know how to go about this, but it is really quite straightforward.

Tell any friends or family you are going to be “incommunicado” for a while, for example a morning or an afternoon. Lock the door, turn off the TV and your cell phone, and make sure you’re not going to be disturbed for this period. Make yourself comfortable, and sit down or lie down to relax completely. Now think.

It’s easy to let your mind wander or to become distracted. So no distractions – concentrate on thinking about you and your ex, how you met, how it was when you were with them, what held the relationship together, and how you came to split up.

Was it a traumatic event, such as one of you catching the other one being unfaithful? Or was it something that took time to develop, such as a gradual realisation that the love between you was dying? Did it involve a third party? Was it something that neither of you had much control over, such as one of you having to relocate because of a job move?

What kind of people are you? Are you both much the same, whether outgoing and confident, or introspective and shy? Or perhaps you’re both quite different, in which case did this have a positive or a negative effect on your relationship?

The Answers Will Come To You

No doubt there are other possible similarities and differences that may apply in your particular case, but these should get you thinking along the lines of finding a way to get your ex back. The answers to all these questions will determine how you approach possibly the most difficult and delicate task of your life.

Next, consider what is your strongest point in helping you get your ex back. How can you use it? Consider a number of different approaches and what your ex’s reaction is likely to be to each. If you think for long enough you’ll be able to see a way through.

Most people take action without giving it sufficient thought. That’s like firing a gun without taking aim – no matter how powerful your firepower you’re unlikely to hit your target.

Take Effective Action

And that’s the second vital thing – to take effective action. When you do so you’ll be confident you’re going about things correctly. You’ll know the best way to get your ex back, how much time they’ll need to accept your suggestions, and, most importantly, how to keep your ex with you.

A Guide To Getting Your Ex Back – First Steps To Take

Nearly every guide to getting your ex back assumes that the two of you were in a stable relationship before the split, that suddenly there was a split, and now you’re left wanting your ex back but don’t know where to start. But it’s seldom as straightforward as that.

If every split were like this then it would very often be easy to restore the relationship even if only one party were determined to make that happen. But no two splits are the same, and often the breakup comes as the culmination of a number of crises in the relationship.

Whatever else you do at this stage, you should take some time to reflect on the relationship you had with your ex, whether there were warning signs of what was to come before the split happened, and whether the two of you could successfully re-establish a relationship that didn’t fail again.

What was it that brought you together in the first place? Did one of you work to get the relationship going or did it all come together without any real effort? What do you most have in common with each other? What was the most important, vital, part of the relationship? Was one of you the leader and the other the follower, or did you both play an equal part in decision making?

Why do you want to get your ex back? Make sure you can articulate all the reasons to yourself and it’s not just nostalgia on your part, looking back to the good times and glossing over the bad times. You must be absolutely sure that getting your ex back is the right thing to do. Then you can try and pinpoint exactly what went wrong in the relationship and work out a plan for getting your ex back.

But just as the relationship started naturally all that time ago, so should the reconciliation. It would be fatal to force things along. You need patience as well as determination. Use all the points in your favour, including strength of character, to make yourself as desirable to your ex as you were when you first got together.

This is going to take time, whether it’s two weeks or two months. And it will be a most difficult time. You should tell your ex that you’re going to give them some space and that you won’t contact them for, say, 30 days. If there are children to arrange access for, or personal belongings to be collected then you may have to arrange contact sooner, but tell them that you won’t raise the subject of what happens in the future at such meetings for that period of time.

This move alone will take the pressure off your ex, and they will appreciate it. It will probably impress them with your sincerity and consideration in suggesting that arrangement. And it will give you an excellent excuse for making contact at the end of that period to see how your ex is getting on and if they are agreeable to exploring a possible reconciliation.
