Don't Let Your Break Up Be for Good!

Your relationship with your ex was fragile. Eventually, it crumbled under the pressure of arguing, infidelity or some other burden. But while break-ups are normal, you don’t have to accept it as the final outcome. You can save your relationship and get your ex back without going through a stressful time in your life.

You don’t want revenge – you want to get him or her back into your life and move forward with love, honesty and commitment. Here are five ways you can repair your relationship with your ex. Do these five things and you’ll have him (or her) running back to you quickly!

1.) Grow a backbone when it comes to your ex.

Men and women both are attracted to strong, confident people. They don’t want weaklings who appear desperate and pathetic. Don’t engage in begging, pleading, whining or other behaviors that will turn your ex off. You want to appear strong  so your ex thinks you’ve moved on.

You don't want to go back to this!
You don't want to go back to this!

2.) Limit your communication with your ex.

You may want to constantly text, email or call your ex, but that’s the worst thing you could do! You want to be unavailable and make him (or her) stew about the relationship so that they start to consider what’s missing in life when you’re not around.


3.) Be easygoing and flexible with your ex.

When couples break up, demands are hurled around. “Get your stuff OUT of my apartment by 6 PM tomorrow!” Don’t do this. Be easygoing. Listen to their concerns and be a sympathetic ex. This will make them see a new side of you from the one they last saw when the arguing was taking place.

4.) Have a social life that doesn’t include your ex.

When your ex breaks up with you, call up your friends and family and become a social butterfly. You want your mind off of him (or her). You need to be entertained and your ex will realize they want to be having fun with you, too. Getting dumped could be the best thing that's ever happened to the two of you and your relationship in helping to make it stronger.

5.) Don’t lose sight of yourself with your ex.

All of these changes are just action steps. You don’t want to lose the real you inside by trying to get your ex back. He once loved you for who you are, so you don’t want to veer too far off from that. Get back to your roots. It’s very possible that you changed a lot while you were with your ex and that’s why he lost interest!

In particular I liked the part about being dumped being the best thing that could happen sometimes. It's true that we change and often lose ourselves in the relationship. this has worked for me before. Good hub. Nice pictures, too!

Hey Tiff,

You've given some excellent, common sense advice in this Hub. Good job :-). The most important thing you said - IMO - is "You don’t want to lose the real you inside by trying to get your ex back". Take it from a guy ladies: don't try to be someone you're really not to get your ex back.

So what am I supposed to do, ignore her? Er, hypothetically speaking, I mean. If I was in this situation, which I'm not. *ahem*
