Do You Really Want Your Ex Back?

By Adrian Gerken

I understands that while your relationship are extremely meaningful, however after a break up you'll need to really decide if it's worth saving in the first place. To do this, you'll need to be completely honest with yourself and do a bit of soul searching. While it is easy to think only about the good times you all had after a break up, be objective and fair, think not only the good times but also the bad times. Determine if getting back this relationship will actually make you happy, and prevent going down the same path as before that have caused the break up in the first place.

In reality, there are a few relationships that are unworthy of saving. If you and your ex spent more time fighting than you did doing something good and fun, then perhaps you should consider moving on. f they were physically or verbally abusive, it probably wasn't a healthy relationship. If they were mentally unstable, you probably are better off without them. If the relationship overall was a good one, and they weren't abusive, and they were of sound mind, the following should help you and your ex get back together.

Pestering and pushing your ex isn't a good idea. If you try to constantly get in touch with your ex; whether its by phone, email, text message, or stalking them you're going to do more harm than good. They will see this as a sign of desperation. This could actually push them further away than bring them closer to you.

Don't argue, beg, or plead with your ex about your past relationship. It's easy when you and your mind are all alone. Your mind manifests all sorts of wrongs that you may have done. Even when your ex broke up with you they may have gave you reasons why. Now, you're probably beating yourself up over them. You probably wish you had never done those things. The past is the past. This is the present.

If you get it in your mind that the relationship is currently over. You can't go back in time, though you probably wish you could. Concentrate on what is going on now. The only thing worse than obsessively contacting your ex is to beg or plead with them. Make promises how you'll change, etc...This won't help you and your ex get back together at all.

Give your ex some time and start living your own life, this way not only you'll be doing yourself a favor, you'll also give your ex more time to think about your and miss you as well. If you start living your life again, you'll be more desirable to them rather than having stuck at the post break up stage! Therefore, help yourself to be happier and more fulfilling.
