There are many reasons why men leave relationships. They could be
feeling restricted or claustrophobic from an emotionally needy partner,
they may feel that the relationship has become too monotonous, or they
may stop feeling admired by their woman.

Men stop feeling admired when they notice their partner is not as happy
as she once was. A big sign of unhappiness in a relationship is when a
woman nags or gets annoyed by what the man does or says.

Does this mean you have to go around like a giddy school girl? No, but
just make sure you show him what he means to you some times.

After a break up, you will have to take a fresh look at what went wrong.
What caused the split? You will likely have to take responsibility for
those things that you may be able to change for the better in your
relationship.

Most importantly though, you need to allow your ex boyfriend space and
freedom. He has to have time to come to terms with what has happened. It
is important not to call three times a day, as this will drive him away.

After a short time, you might want to consider writing him a brief letter
to re-initiate contact. Slowly build up the frequency of contact until
you feel it is appropriate to go out one evening.

Do something you both enjoy, remind him how happy he can make you, and
make sure he also enjoys himself. He will start to realise what he is
missing out on. Don't bring up the past or the future, just enjoy the
here and now.

During this period you have a golden opportunity to show him how you can
change anything that has caused problems in the past.

General points of note:

When you aren't with him, there are a number of things you can do to
improve your chances. Assert your independence by getting on with your
life. Spend time with your friends in a social environment. Stay healthy
and fit. A man always appreciates a good body. You may even start
attracting other men, which could result in two things: you meet a great
new guy, or you get your ex boyfriend thinking. He'll start missing you
and won't want to lose you forever.

After this you should find it easier to mention that it might be worth
giving the relationship another go, and if all goes well your ex should
be more than happy for another shot. In fact, you may even find that you
have naturally resumed your relationship without having to talk about it.
