No matter what you do, it is important that you stay strong. You should never come off as being needy. Clinging, begging and acting desperate is a big break-up no-no. This will more than likely chase him off, instead of attract him back. I am not saying that breakups are easy, I personally know that they are tough, but you should keep the crying and yelling behind closed doors.
Totally! Many people have reunited and rekindled their relationships. It's all about understanding what went wrong and working on fixing it.
Start by giving them a little space. It sounds counterintuitive, but it really helps both of you cool down and think things over.
Actions speak louder than words! Start by improving yourself, be it emotionally or personally. Let them see the positive changes naturally.
It's okay to reach out first, but do it gently and casually. Let them know you’re thinking of them without being too pushy.
It happens, and it's tough. Respect their choice, focus on your healing, and move forward. If it's meant to be, sometimes it works out in the future.

Closing those doors of communication may seem like they are not going to do any justice for you, but they will. This is one of the most important steps. There is a reason that the two of you have reached this point and obviously, someone here needs a break. Give your exsome space and time to clear his mind. Sometimes, starting over is the best thing you can do.

This is not time to start barking out orders such as “pick up your things by Monday or I am going to throw them out.” You are wrong if you are under the impression that you are going to be scaring them to the point that they will return to you. Take note that your ex went away from you because they were unhappy with some aspect of the relationship. This probably means that it is time for you to become a listener and pay more attention to his needs. That's one way to build the foundation for a successful relationship.

It is time to turn off the broken heart songs, lift yourself up off of that bed or couch and go out and have some fun! Give those old friends a ring and get yourself out of the house. You need to develop other forms of entertainment and stop worrying. This does not mean you have to go out and start dating again. You don’t even have to be interested in anyone. The key here is to have fun with friends and family and stop being depressed.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
3. Figure out What Went Wrong

Now is the time to sit by yourself and figure out what went wrong. Unless you can understand what led to the downfall of the two of you, how can you set things right? What made the first couple of weeks or months together so special? Why did you feel so strongly when it was a new relationship and when did it fizzle out? Try to pinpoint exactly what changed in your relationship.

2. Be Honest with Him

If you still love him, then tell him this at least one time. Honesty is always going to pay off. Even if he does not say anything back, he will still know that you love and care about him. This is something that will stay in his mind. If it is meant to be, then he will remember this.

1. Show Respect

Of course, when you are trying to get an ex back, you will need to show respect, no matter what sex you are. Having respect for another person is showing them that you still care. Don’t go throwing their stuff out, have respect for their stuff as well. Sure, you can put it in a box and stuff it in your closet so that you do not think of them 24/7, but remember girls, respect them. Do not go up to them in public and start yelling at them. Do not complain and whine about them to your friends. Leave aside the petty issues and jealousy. Remember that you have both wronged each other so take responsibility for your mistakes.
Getting your ex back in a relationship can be a tough job. However, if you find that you do not succeed at it, then don't let this get you down. If he does not come back to you, then this obviously means that it is not meant to be. It is time to move on and overcome the breakup, girl. What about you, are you hurting and need to get your ex back badly? How long have you had those horrible break up blues? Have you ever gotten back together with an ex? How did you do it?

Abbey: i broke up with my sort of boyfriend like 2 years ago, be were together for 4 years and a half... all of our teenage years... we went on and off for those 2 years we were over, the thing is that i really thought i was over him for good now, i didn't even felt like he was mine anymore, then i went to my dream trip to london for a month and i met a lot of people who had bad break ups and punk loves like i did (i have adhd and he ocd) the thing is that i started thinking that he took all the blame... more than he should and also things i was guilty, he blamed himself, i know i was wrong and then i send him a really honest mail telling him that and that i wasn't pretending to get in touch again with the mail anyways... i came back home as paranoic as hell cos i didn't wanted to see him again, i was over him for good this time, the thing is that i saw him and it was weird he said that he read my mail and that he wanted to answer it but he didn't knew if it was ok (we had a big fight before i went to london)... the thing is that i saw him and in my head he was mine again, we only talked for like one sec but we stared at each other for a while... i love him and i went to my laptop and send him an email telling him how i felt and that all i wanted was to be with him that he'll be so happy with me... i really believe what i said and i knew we could be happy together cos we love each other... my only problem is that he's scared to admit that he loves me back...

charlotte: my bf cheated on and thinking about it all of my bfs have cheated on me...mabye love isn't for me :(
Haley: My bf and I broke up about 3 months ago and we've been being friends. At first he told me he couldnt imagine ever being with me again. A few weeks ago after he found out I kissed another guy he became really jealous, said he was thinking about getting back together and missed me and he was just really confused. We hung out since then and a little flirting through texts but now he hasnt talked to me in a week and I dont know why, i havent been clingy at all. Any advice?
