Breakups hurt, everyone knows that. That's the price you pay for the dumb things you do to get yourself dumped...but sometimes everything doesn't have to end this way. Get up off your butt and kick yourself into gear, you can get your ex back if you just put in some effort! The first thing you need to do to start on the road to getting your ex back is change your mind. You probably do it every day, so that's not the hardest thing in the world to do. Change the way you think about this breakup, and change the way you think about your entire situation! Breaking up with someone you love leaves a scar on your heart that can affect your life in a lot of negative ways, but if you look at the world the right way you can actually make that heartbreak benefit you and the one you love both! Sitting around blaming your ex for all your troubles or repeatedly calling yourself an idiot isn't going to get you any further than your sofa. It's self-destructive, and it'll let your ex slip further and further away while you settle into a pattern of bad behavior that'll be incredibly difficult to break away from. The difference is made when you decide to step up to the plate and turn your life around. All it takes is the conscious decision that you are going to put your all into it, and your chances increase dramatically. A breakup generates a lot of emotion and energy, and if you're playing "sobbing couch potato" all that energy is just flowing (perhaps "seeping" would be a better term) out of you and into the gutter. Convert that energy into powerful motivation for getting off your butt and doing something about your situation. The best motivation comes when you realize what consequences your actions can have, so use this hard experience to drive you to succeed in your struggle for relationship happiness. Take a frown and turn it upside down. Take this separation as a lesson to be learned (or in some cases quite a few lessons). Congratulations, you are officially an expert on what DOESN'T work for keeping a relationship from going south. Use that knowledge. Analyze your relationship, and figure out just what it was that ended up torpedoing the bond between you and your ex. Once you've found what your biggest problems were, correct them. It's that simple. You're probably saying "no, it isn't that simple," but yes it is. "No, it isn't!" Yes it is. We can go on like this all day, or you can get your ex back. Your choice. Whatever was afflicting your relationship and led to its downfall, fix it. If it was a habit of yours, stop it. If you didn't have enough time for your partner, make the time. Giving ultimatums may not seem like the fairest thing for me to do, but relationships often involve overcoming tall odds through efforts of sheer will...so it's good for you to get into practice. Once you've managed to pull your act together, it's time to get back in touch with your ex (assuming you followed the usual pattern of breaking away after the end of the relationship). Don't take things too quickly, or else you'll drive your ex away even further in spite of your hard work. Usually the first contact should consist of a phone call or email seeing how he/she is doing. From there work up gradually, feeling out how things are and making sure not to rush things. Remember that even if your ex is mad at you, he or she probably doesn't hate you...and most of time breakups aren't the cold flat-drops you see in the movies. More than likely you'll be faced with a person who still loves you and wants to be with you, but just can't handle the stress of the relationship. It's up to you to remove that stress while keeping the happinesses, and if you can pull that off you two could go far. Stop being so depressed and afraid of rejection...get out there and give it your best!
