Get Your Ex Back Mastery

You really can’t fix a relationship without communication but you can’t force someone to talk to you, either. Here are five tips to get your ex to talk to you again so you can move forward on getting back together.

When a break up happens, communication is usually cut off or drastically reduced. It’s the severing of all ties and that is the single most thing standing in the way of repairing any relationship. There’s no way you can fix things without speaking to each other and your ex holds all the strings. If they don’t take your calls or agree to meet, you’re doomed. Or are you?

A separation can be a good time for each party to regroup. Your ex needs time to work through whatever caused them to decide it was time to move on and you need time to understand where the relationship went wrong so you can address those problems before getting back together. If you use this time wisely, it can work to your advantage.

At some point, though, nothing is going to happen until you get your ex to talk to you again. Here are some tips to make that happen:

Elevated your ex to an undeserved status of perfection? Kick that pedestal out from underneath them for a confidence boost that helps you really focus on getting back with your ex.

To “put your ex on a pedestal” means that you behave as if your ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend is more important than yourself or than other people. After a break up, it is common to elevate your ex to a position of value greater than yourself – even greater than the position you had them at before you broke up.  Before, he or she was just your other half. After an unwanted break up, you act as if they are a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow you can’t see. Your mind zeroes in on them like a target and there seems to be no changing course.

When you’ve reached this point, it makes it very difficult for you to behave in a way that can be helpful in recovering any relationship with your ex because if you’ve put them “up here” you have simultaneously put yourself “down there”. That messes with your head….gives you a complex…makes you do stupid things….causes you to second guess your ex’s every response. Who can think clearly this way?

The steps to save a marriage may seem long and difficult. Mostly, that’s because we make them difficult.

Our natural instinct in times of marital troubles is to think only about ourselves, to feel pain at every comment whether pain was intended or not, and to let our minds wallow in all the possible negative outcomes. It’s next to impossible to see a way forward when we’re stuck in the past and constantly wondering how we got where we are.

To really fix the relationship you have with your spouse you need to do three things right away. Stop looking backwards. Stop fighting. Stop tiptoeing.

Let’s look at each of those in depth:

Stop Looking Backwards
I remember exactly what my husband was wearing when we got married. I remember the look of love in his eyes. I remember how he took me alone back to our hotel room and slow-danced with me in the hallway. We all have beautiful moments in the past that make up the fabric of our marriage and the feelings we have for our spouse. I don’t want you to forget them – you can’t. I want you to stop reliving them as if you’ll never have them again.

“I love you.” “I never want to see you again.” “Wait a minute – I can’t live without you!”

Do you have one of those relationships where you spend as much time broken up as you spend as a couple? Learn how to stop the Make Up/Break Up cycle and stop fighting all the time.

Couples caught in this vicious whirlwind have one of two problems. They either love each other a whole lot or they really don’t belong together but don’t know how to move on. Do you know which category you fall in?

My guess is that most couples who find themselves in this situation really love each other but have some serious problems to work on and the biggest of them is communication.

A couple fights when they have a disagreement that results in their emotions to overruling logic, rationale, and reasoning.   Considering how much our feelings get wrapped up in a relationship, it’s completely natural to see how a fight results from even the smallest of arguments.

I know a songwriter whose depth of meaning in her lyrics belies her age.  She’s fifteen but her stories sound as if they come from the experience of having loved and lost.  Maybe that’s because our feelings about love start during puberty and they really never change.

We want the same things now we did when we were young.  We want happily-ever-after love.  We want to be the single, shining star in our man’s eyes.  We want utter devotion, complete honesty, and a soul-mate all wrapped into one.

Even when we figure out that past experiences cling to us like the invisible threads spun early morning across a dew-covered bush, we struggle with the past loves that comes with our boyfriend or girlfriend.  You might not see them, but you feel them.

Like when your guy won’t stop talking about his ex.  Sure, he says they are just friends now or that he no longer has feelings for her but then why won’t he stop talking about her?  Doesn’t he know how much he’s hurting you?

In your heart, you know he still loves you which is why it’s so difficult to understand why he broke up with you. Is it possible he was really just afraid of getting too close?

I try to avoid cliches and stereotypes, but they’re often based on facts – opinions formed over time because the repetitiveness makes an event predictable. Sometimes (but not all of the time), a guy will break up with his girlfriend because he is afraid – of the future, of getting too close, of not having experienced enough “life”, of what it will really mean to make a commitment to one person.

Otherwise, you might have seen the breakup coming. You might have been given clues over a period of time so that when he did break up, you weren’t so shocked.

What do you do if you think your ex still loves you but found it easier to run away than to stay? How do you win your boyfriend back?

The end doesn’t always have to mean the end. For movies, it sometimes means a sequel. Learn how to get your girl back when she says it’s over and see if you can’t make phase two a whole lot better than phase one anyway.

Your success may hinge on exactly how she ended the relationship. Did she catch you cheating, chew you out and tell you it was over? That may be hard to overcome – not impossible, just more difficult. If, however, she cried or tried to tell you as calmly as possible but was shaking or if you picked up on a the sense that she really didn’t want the relationship to end then you stand a really good chance on getting back together more easily.

You see, sometimes people break up with someone out of fear or out of an inability to figure out how to get the relationship past some hurdle. Fear can be driven by the fear of the future, fear that they will let you down, fear that they don’t fit in your world…any number of reasons. It’s not always logical to think that just because a girl thinks she doesn’t fit in with your family that she should break it off with you but that sometimes happens.

All of us at one time or another have romantic thoughts about an ex. That doesn’t always mean we want to travel that road again. If you broke up do you know exactly why you want your ex back or are you just thinking the grass is greener when there are two people on it than when you’re standing alone on the grass?

Well, I may have mangled the saying (intentionally), but I hope you get the drift. Sometimes we want an ex back for the wrong reason. We want them back because it would be better to be with someone than to be alone again. Being alone is only fun for a short period of time, if that.

So if you’re pursuing an ex love, have you put some thought into why you think it would be the best idea to get back together? I think there are some really, excellent reasons to do so – but I also think there are some really bad ones.

Ever wonder why a guy broke up with you?  These relationship mistakes women make with men can push a guy away over time.  The real problem is that you may not have recognized you were even doing these things.  That’s because they’re typical, human behaviors.  Mix them in carelessly with the sensitive nature of a loving relationship, though, and they can spell disaster.

Expecting Him to be More Romantic
First, the definition of “romantic” is different for all of us.  We all grow up with a certain expectation that we learn from watching television and movies, from reading romance novels, or from our own parents and family.  Roses and candlelight might be one woman’s definition of romance while for another it is just hearing “I love you” at the end of a phone call.

That’s part of the problem.  If we all have different expectations of what it means for a guy to be romantic, how could we possibly expect any man to pass the test?  He’d have to be a mind-reader and those are in awfully, short supply.

If you are lacking romance in your relationship, tell your guy what it is you like.  Give him some ideas to get him started.  Or start the trend yourself.  If you wish your guy would plan an elegant night out at a nice restaurant, do it first.  Then tell him the next romantic evening is his to plan and let him know you can’t wait to see what he comes up with.  If you make it something he can look forward to, he’ll be more inclined to put his heart into it instead of the approach women often take.  Ever found yourself saying, “I wish you were more romantic!”  All that does is leave a guy feeling down, guilty, and unappreciated.

If your husband or wife wants a divorce, here are three reasons why you should try to stop your divorce today and save your marriage. These reasons may not surprise you, but how you can use them to your advantage might.

Reason #1 to Stop Your Divorce – Your children

According to the University of New Hampshire‘s Cooperative Extension department, divorce can have the following effects on children by age groups:

Pre-school: will often believe the divorce is their fault and may show more childish behavior while trying to understand how they could have behaved differently to keep their parents together.

Elementary school: Often have the most difficulty dealing with divorce. Unequipped to deal with the wild emotions brought about by divorce they may act out and demonstrate utter sadness and/or fits of anger.

Adolescents: Have the strongest capacity for understanding the divorce but the most memories of the parents being together. May feel pressured to choose sides or step in and take control of younger siblings to fill voids they sense in the family structure. Divorce can have an impact on adolescents’ thoughts about marriage for their own future.

Reason #2 to Stop Your Divorce – Money

Suddenly, the income supporting one household must now be spread amongst two households and that isn’t going to happen without some sacrifice. Retirement plans you might have had, savings you have stashed away for the children’s college funds, and your own rainy day money are all going to be drained by attorney’s fees and/or split by court order.

It doesn’t matter what your friends tell you about spousal support or what you think you deserve in child support, neither of you will be left with enough to live as you were living. You have the same money covering more expenses. Everyone has to do without.

Reason #3 to Stop Your Divorce – Most Divorces Can Be Prevented
