Right now things are just bad. There’s a terrible yearning in your heart to get your ex back. just the thought of them brings up feelings, both good and bad, of what you used to have. It’s very hard to function day-to-day and concentrate on the most basic of things because your mind keeps bring you back to your ex. The best cure for that is surely to get them back. So how do you get back together after a breakup?
You’re not going to want to hear this one, but you two need some time apart. Remember, your ex is probably going through exactly what you’re going through, so it shouldn’t be too hard to put yourself in their shoes. At this point your mind is not in the best place to work things out. It’s very likely you can accidentally ignite another fight and push each other further apart right now. Both of you need some time to cool down. You need some time to think straight. This time limit is typically one month, at least, and even that amount of time can make it feel like the breakup happened just yesterday. Nevertheless, it is necessary.
Try to figure out what caused the breakup. Not the fight or blowout that actually cused the separation, but the underlying root cause that was built up to this point. That small thing, or even big thing, that was left to escalate for so long unchecked. This is often something that can be fixed. It can be improved. Most importantly, it can be solved and corrected to the point where it will no longer be a problem the next time around. Finding this is important so that you don’t keep repeating this dance over and over.
Your ex will also, at some point, need an apology. It doesn’t matter who was right or wrong. The air needs to be cleared and things that happened in the past stay in the past. The apology will help both of you to move on.I’m sure I don’t have to say that it must be sincere. The apology is a huge step in getting back together after you’ve broken up, so take extra effort to make sure it’s done right and meaningfully.
This will put you on the right track and should help you a bit. Everything you can do is beyond the scope of this short entry, but now you’ve got a head start. I recommend The Magic of Making Up if you can locate it.
