If you have recently broken up with the love of your life you are probably feeling sad and possibly even depressed.
Breaking up is never easy regardless of the reason that it occurred.
For a relationship to last long term it must be constantly respected and nurtured in order to flourish and overcome any problems that may arise.
Once the balance and communication in the relationship has been broken that is where the problems start.
If you have broken up and decided this wasn't the right decision there are a few things you can do in order to get back your ex.
If you have recently decided to take time apart the first thing you should avoid doing is being clingy and begging them to come back.
You should minimize contact all together which includes dates, phone calls or emails.
It's fine to miss them and regardless of how bad you want them back if you smother your ex that will push them away even farther.
More often than not if your ex really does have feelings for you after a short period of time they will realize that they made a mistake and want to ask for you to come back to them.
The more time couples are separated the more they will grow to miss each other if there is a true connection.
Don't be alone.
Instead of waiting for the phone to ring hoping it is your ex get out of the house and be a single person again.
If you have recently missed out on hanging out with friends or participating in events that you love such as sports, bike riding, or just hitting a club now is your chance.
Don't let your ex see you moping and waiting for them to come around like a love sick puppy.
This will give you the chance to find yourself again and do things to help yourself grow as a person and as an individual.
Be yourself is something that always helps to mend a broken relationship.
If you want to get your ex back you will need to realize what made you two compatible to begin with.
Was there something that changed about you overtime that you may have not noticed? Make a list of things that you miss about your ex and why you feel like you should get back together.
Ultimately if there really was something special between you and your ex then time will bring you back together.
You can't force someone to be in a relationship if they aren't happy.
If you two decide that you want to work on things you should start fresh in order to regain the trust that you may have lost during your time apart.
