How to Get Back Together After Breaking Up
It's very normal to want to get back together with your ex after being dumped. You find yourself wondering if it's even possible to ever get that relationship back. I want you to know, from personal experience, that it is indeed possible. Will this be a walk in the park? Probably not. But this is a possible outcome.
So long as the two of you still have any sort of feelings for each other after the breakup, you can always get back together. Any feeling will suffice, not necessarily love. You can do this even if your ex says that he hates you and never wants to hear from you again. Indifference is the true opposite of love, not hatred. It might not always be easy, but you can flip any emotion into love.
You definitely will have some work to do. Right now your relationship is teetering on that razor's edge between making up and breaking up. You'll need to be pretty cautious about how you move forward. It might take some will power on your part to turn things around and get your ex back.
First you must fight back every urge to call, text, email, or otherwise contact your partner. After your partner breaks up with you, it is pretty common to find yourself desperate to get back together with them. You'll only hurt your chances of making up with your partner if you think about the situation this way. Chances are good that your partner ended things with you to get some "space" and let me tell you that bombarding him with phone calls is not giving him space. Actually it will make your ex pull away from you even more.
For two to four weeks, try to cut off all contact with your partner. Then just write your ex a short and simple message apologizing for anything that you did that might have contributed to the breakup. It takes two people to be in a relationship, so in any breakup both people hold at least some responsibility. If you can't see any ways you might have helped cause the end of the relationship, then you simply need to think about it a bit more. Maybe you weren't understanding enough or maybe you didn't stand up for yourself enough.
Request that your ex meet up with you for coffee so you can catch up with each other. Don't sound like you're overly eager to see your ex. Treat it like you are just meeting up with an old friend that you haven't seen in a long time. When the two of you meet just play it cool and just have fun. During the meeting you just want to remind your ex of how much fun the two of you can have together and reignite all the good memories. Take things slow and don't bring up the topic of getting back together.
If your meeting with your partner seemed to go well, you might want to go out with them on a more traditional date. Maybe something such as a movie or dinner. After a breakup, you'll need patience to reunite with your ex. Try not to rush things and take your time like you would if you were just starting to see someone for the first time. Remember not to talk about any serious stuff, unless your ex brings up the subject. Keep going on dates with your ex as long as everything keeps progressing well. Before too long your partner will remember what made them fall in love with you to begin with. And the two of you will be happily back in a relationship again.
