When the person you love decides to call it quits on you, it can really throw your world for a spin. Up can become down, and what was right can become very wrong...but your life can be set straight again, and it doesn't even have to be that difficult!
Yeah, I'm serious. It can actually be easier to get your ex back than to face the pain of being without him or her! All you have to do is go about it the right way, and these following four things can really help you do just that, even if a couple of them might not seem like they'd really be much help.
1) Get out, have some fun with friends. You may not feel like having fun is even possible, but if you get out and into life again while you surround yourself with people you care about and who care about you, you'll surprise yourself by actually having a pretty good time.
Why is this helpful for getting your ex back? Well, it shows that you're not crippled by the loss, even if you may feel it inside. It creates a strong, admirable image that actually becomes pretty attractive. You're never more attractive than when you're getting along just fine, and that definitely works to your advantage when you're trying to draw your ex's eye again.
2) This next step is the one that balks most people, but it's crucially important to getting your ex back. Sit down and ponder your past relationships, and what caused them to end --particularly this most recent one. What things did YOU contribute to the eventual downfall of you and your partners? If you're going to pull off a recovery, you'll need to fix the problems you caused.
And don't be naive, some of the problems ARE going to be of your own doing. You may not like to hear that, but it's likely true. Remember, your ex dumped you, not the other way around. That means that his or her needs weren't being met, whether that means you weren't being emotionally supportive enough or that you were too controlling and bossy. Whatever problems you're responsible for, work on fixing yourself so that you don't cause them anymore. Even if it doesn't land you a new start with your ex, it'll make your future relationships a lot better.
3) Keep up your physical appearance. When you sit around all day pining over lost love, you tend to let yourself go...and that gallon of Ben and Jerry's ain't helping. Don't let yourself slide in the fitness/hygiene department...remember that you want your ex to want to come back to you, and to do that you need to be in shape at least as good as you were when you were together, and it helps to have showered in the last week and a half.
4) Last but not least, my most important item of advice: leave your ex alone! Being up in your ex's face all the time is partially what caused him or her to leave you, most likely. Now that the pain of the breakup is on his or her shoulders too, any added tension or stress associated with you will drive your ex even further away, even to the point of being unreachable. Keep back until the point where you've made a lot of progress on your issues, and it becomes appropriate to make contact again.
And don't forget to keep it light and simple when you eventually do get to the point that re-establishing contact becomes appropriate. Don't use any method more aggressive than a simple phone call or email, and stay away from the topic of getting back together, unless your ex makes it unavoidable. Chances are good that if you take it easy and just express an interest in how your ex is doing, eventually you two will get a little more comfortable and possibly spend a little time together as friends.
When you get to this stage, you want to make sure that you keep it light and simple. Again, no "feelings" talk. Just do things that the two of you used to really enjoy together, and it'll bring back happy memories. Bring back enough happy memories, and let it show enough that you've been working hard on your flaws and keeping yourself together, and you just may spark enough interest to inspire your ex to want to stop being an "ex" anymore.
All situations are ultimately different, but these basic rules hold true for the vast majority of broken relationships. If you want to get back with your ex, these things I listed off for you are at the very least a guide to how you should be thinking.
