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?

cath: he was so cute and we were texting sunday night and everything was perfect. then monday night he said that things just "weren't working out the way he thought they would" and that we shouldn't be together anymore but he said that he still wanted to be friends with me if I wanted to be. I don't want to make it seem like what he did was okay, so I'm trying not to talk to him and everything that you said, but I don't want to make it seem like I'm mad at him either, cause he's the type to just forget about it. Plus, I really don't understand what went wrong! i dont know what to do!
Tetz: I personally have gotten back together with my exboyfriend a lot of times. All I did was ignoring him and making my life interesting and he would get jealous and come crawling back. Anyway, I got tired of the same old problems and we broke up for good. It's just not worth it.
melissa: my ex wont come back and ive tried all of these 7 tips/tricks. what should i do now?!
Allison: Does thsi work even f you have been broken up for a few years?
