6 Tips to Help You Get Your Ex Back

by Erik J. Michaels

When you’ve just had a blowout with your partner and you suddenly find yourself alone and calling him your ex…it’s a rough time where most people just want to find a way to pull the pieces back together and get life back to how it was. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly easy to figure out what to do to make that happen, which is why I’ve written this short list to help you out.

1) I know it seems like the last thing you’d want to do to get him back, but cutting off contact with your ex for about a month is actually surprisingly effective for a number of reasons. No matter what your situation, the separation will make the time you spend actively pursuing him a lot easier, and more likely to succeed.

2) Don’t let Hollywood fool you…sliding into a rock-bottom slump until your caring friends take care of everything for you or your ex calls you up out of the blue to get back together does NOT happen in real life. The only person you can count on is yourself, so find the motivation to rise above your depression and take back your life.

3) Nothing helps to heal like having a good friend or three or six to support you during a rough time like this, so make sure to hang out with people who care about you and make you happy. Just don’t take advantage of their sympathy by whining for hours on end about your breakup and your ex…there’s only so much even Mother Teresa could take before enough becomes enough.

4) Take some pride in yourself, and enjoy your life in spite of the pain. Now’s the time to look your best ALL the time, and avoid idle sadness by keeping busy in social environments. Do a full inventory of your physical appearance and change anything you don’t like, and then strut your stuff out in the clubs or parties. Looking good combined with the attention you’ll get from local singles will help build your self-confidence back up, and may even inspire a little jealousy in your ex…who may be having a rougher time of things.

5) You can’t count on your ex to fix the relationship…he’s had his go at it, and it left you alone. If you want this to have a happy ending, you are the one person you can count on to make it work. Plan your strategy for getting your ex back so that you don’t have to rely on him for anything. You are your own greatest asset.

6) Don’t assume that the battle is over because you’ve gotten him back. You still need to take care to avoid letting the relationship fall through again. The reasons it went south the first time may still threaten it if you’re not careful, and new things are always popping up. Many problems can be anticipated and avoided, but you can’t foresee everything. All you can do is try to support your partner’s needs as you two take on the world.

The main thing I’ve been trying to get across is that your life isn’t over when you lose a loved one…you can get over the pain and get him back if you just put yourself into it. Motivation and perseverance will help you win the day, and it isn’t just possible to win your ex back…the odds are in your favor! Now go get him back!
