When you’re in love, it feels like you’re on top of the world. You found this wonderful person who came into your life, and you’re life couldn’t have gotten any better than that. That special someone can make you feel like the most luckiest person in the world, and if you’re a true romantic, you may have wondered how you could have lived most of your life without them. Then, before you know it, things change and then all of a sudden…BAM.

The relationship is over. And despite which one of initiated the break up, you still have feelings for this person. Now you may be thinking about how the break was a mistake (if you were the one who did the dumping), or you wished that this person would not have dumped you and should have given you a second chance. Pining for the one you still love and asking “Will I get my ex back?” is not unusual. Also remember that break ups in relationships are normal. People break up and get back together all the time, so you are not hopeless!

“Will I get my ex back?” Well, that completely depends on what you are willing to do and how far you are willing to go to get them back. If you really want to get your ex back, one thing that is important to do is to think about why you two broke up. If you were the one who was dumped, think of the reasons why your ex dumped you and try to understand their point of view. In other words, evaluate what you’ve done to contribute to the break up. Now this is not to say that everything that went bad in the relationship was completely your fault, but if your ex was the one who dumped you, then this is something to really consider.

Contemplating over why the break up happened and considering your partner’s point of view will not only help to bring them back, but can prevent another break up when you two get back together. If you want your ex to come back, you have to show, with maturity and composure, that you understand where they were coming from when you two broke up. Also, if you show understanding, then they will reciprocate that understand towards you! This is GREAT, if both partners understand each other, this breeds opportunities for compromises that can stop another break up from occurring between the two of you.

There are a lot of strategies to getting your ex back. This is just one way. If you really want to get your ex back, there are other ways that will help you, ways that have been proven to work.
