What Went Wrong?

If you’ve split up, it happened for a reason. Repeating history isn’t a good idea, so it’s important that you determine what went wrong, and see how you can solve the problem in the future. For example, if you had an argument, find a better way to deal with anger. If either of you cheated, think about why and whether you can forgive each other and move on.

Be Strong

If you are in talks with your ex, or giving him time to consider it, then leave him alone. Don’t stalk him, or send constant texts or voicemails. Show him you don’t need him back, but you want him back. Being clingy will often push men further away.

3

Meet up

Go to a restaurant, or a coffee shop. Seeing him again might be emotional, so be prepared, and try to stay composed. Think about where to hold the meet up. Pick somewhere you can talk. It's generally a better idea to meet in public so that you don't get carried away either emotionally or physically. Remember you are here to resolve your issues. Remain cool headed and remember that inspite of everything, you are friends!

4

Dress to Impress

While wearing your lowest cut top and shortest mini isn’t the best idea, wearing the top he loved and the jeans he couldn’t resist is! Wear sexy lingerieto boost your confidence, and spend time doing your hair and make-up. Show him what he is letting go, and you’ll feel much more confident.

5

Talk It over

Brushing the issue under the carpet never lasts long. Get to the point and talk about how unhappy you are, and what went wrong. Be mature, calm and attentive, and actually listen. For the relationship to be worth fixing, you both need to put effort in. If somebody cheated, listen to their reasons why, and if they regretted it.

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

Admit It when You Are Wrong

If he says you never listen, and you actually don’t, apologize. Denying it will convince him you won’t change, even if you will. Talk about why you aren’t happy, and accept the things that you do wrong. Nobody is perfect!

7

Leave the past

Agree to discuss the past one last time, and then to move on. Bringing up past negatives doesn’t do any good, and just damages the relationship more. Say what you need to say, let him have a say, and then forget about it.

Don’t Try and Make Him Jealous

While it might be marketed as a successful tactic, by making him jealous, he is more likely to retaliate by getting a new girlfriend, and that will only add more obstacles. If you haven’t moved on, don’t act like it. Stay single, and avoid making him jealous on purpose.

9

Give Him Space

If he needs time to think, give it to him. Clouding his vision will either cause him to reject you outright, or to agree and then change his mind. You want him to be as committed as you, so take a chance and let him think.

10

Move on

If you aren’t getting anywhere, give up and get over it. You don’t need him, however much you might feel like it right now. Keep your head up, and remember that you are an amazing person, and you’ll find someone better. And delete his number, so that you don’t drunk text!

Before you start the process, think hard about whether you actually want him back, or if you just want a boyfriend. It’s unnecessary hurt for both parties to talk and then change your mind! And remember that being a single woman can be fun! Have you got a tip to get him back? Please share it with me!

Hi im Kristina I've been with my ex for 3 years and 4 months he is 18 now and im 17 I've come so close to his family and friends we were always together... He recently broke up with me an I bugged the shit out of him telling him i miss him and everything...so then he got back with me out of pitty and then broke up with me 2 days later.... He says he still cares and that he's trying to move on but I want him back so bad and its been so hard without him.. I've been pretty good about giving him his space I still try talking to him every few days ...he doesnt ignore me i feel he just needs his space....idk

I don't want to get him back. He best try to win ME back. That's all I'm saying :)

I need an outsiders opinion .. someone i don't know.. to look from the outside in .. if that makes sense Ok here it goes.. I broke up with my BF of two years a week ago .. we have been fighting lately ..its was so intense he was calling me names .. well a week ago things got really bad in which an incident included a family member .. she was in the wrong but she was right about the way my Ex BF spoke to me ... he didn't respect me .. no physical abuse .. no cheating . well we lived together and i need to decide whether or not i want to be with him .. i do but not the negative side of him .. i have to gather my things soon .. and important not sure what to do .. so if you could be honest with me please much appreciated .

I don’t want to get him back. He best try to win ME back.

Me & my ex broke up 2 mnths ago. i did NC after a wk bc i realized i was wrong i apoligized he ignored me. Recently broke NC we talked briefly,said call back tomorrow i did & he didn't answer or return call. then i heard there was thigs on topix similiar to our situation & he had said somee bad things aboume. i don't do topix its evil.lol. blaming me, then suposively he claims its not him. they convos start in hs town not mine. he's not sure its not me I'm not sure its not him. But my heart says someone betraying as us to keep our distance from each other. so i have started the NC again while he is stuck on blame train.I'm confused if this is right thing to do.
