Get Your Ex Back Tip #3: A Shortcut

Easiest way to get your ex back?So far with my Get Your Ex Back Tipz series, we’ve mostly discussed how to get yourself into the right mindset. Mindset is important because the last thing you want to do is lose yourself in this process. You don’t want to wake up a few months from now and realize that you’ve gotten your ex back but you’ve lost yourself in the process. Otherwise you’ll just end up breaking up all over again and that’s not the point of these tips, right? You want to get back with your ex and make your relationship last.

But what if you don’t want to go through this process? What if you want to get your ex back tomorrow? Or at least as soon as possible? After all, you don’t want to worry about your ex moving on or deciding their life was better off without you. What can you do if you want your ex back fast?

Well the first thing I would suggest is that you need to feel as confident about yourself and your life as possible. You’ve survived the worst: You lost the love of your life and yet you’re still here and you’ve survived. That in itself should feel pretty good and take a bit of the desperation out of it. You KNOW you don’t want to relive this moment. And you want to stop the pain of it by getting back together like, NOW. But at the end of the day, you also know that you can survive without your ex (even if you don’t want to and aren’t happy about it).

I’m only telling you this because you need to make sure that you aren’t trying to get your ex back only because you don’t want to deal with being single. That makes you feel desperate and it will only push your ex away. What you want to do is pull your ex back to you — you want it to be a mutual relationship. In fact, wouldn’t it be awesome if your ex was calling YOU? If your ex wanted to get back together even MORE than you do?

How To Get Your Ex Back Without Manipulation

When you want to know how to get your ex back, it can make you feel desperate enough to do almost anything.  For example, I know a lot of women who have lied at one point or another in order to keep their boyfriends from breaking up with them.  They either say they’re pregnant, or that they will harm themselves, or worse, just to keep the guy around.  And while this might help you get your ex back in the short term, it rarely works for long.

Usually if you try manipulation in order to get your ex to come back to you, they end up resenting you.  The second break up ends up being worse than the first, and you can burn the bridge permanently if you’re not careful.  But what happens if you feel like you don’t have another choice?  What if you want to know how to get your ex back but you can’t figure out how to get them to talk to you without manipulating the conversation somehow?

I know — getting your ex back can seem like an impossible dream sometimes. But honesty is always better than lying. Eventually you’ll get caught in the lie.  And if you don’t, it will always weigh on you.

Here’s what I recommend if your ex won’t talk to you and you’d really like to speak to them.

1.  If you’re trying to text, call, or email your ex every day (or several times a day), you need to stop for a bit.  Go for at least one week without contacting your ex at all.  I know you’ve probably heard this before, but there’s good reasoning behind it.  You want your ex to see that you’re listening to them.  You don’t want to make them feel like you’re smothering them or bullying them to get them to stay in contact with you.  This is especially important if your ex broke up with you and you’ve been trying to get them back ever since.

2.  Make a plan while you wait.  You want your ex to take you seriously when you do contact them again.  You don’t want to sound like you’ll do anything to get them back (even if you really would).  Instead, you want it to be well thought out.  Really take inventory of your relationship.  Think of what you can improve, what when wrong, and what you’d like to do to change it.

3.  After a week or two, it’s time to put the plan into action.  I recommend a brief phone call or letter.  Sometimes letters are easier.  You want it to be short and sweet, not long and rambling.  Ideally, you should really think about what you appreciate about your ex.  And also acknowledge what went wrong in the relationship.  Do NOT beg your ex to come back.  Do not talk about reconciliation at all.  Only tell your ex that what you appreciated about your relationship and what you learned from it.  Make sure that you really put your feelings into the letter so that it is sincere, and not just something you’re doing because you read up on how to get your ex back. ;)

4.  Waiting game.  Chances are really good that if you were sincere in your letter or phone call that your ex will start thinking about you.  And it might take a couple of days, but your ex will probably contact you to talk.  Even if they don’t, you’ve at least cleared the air and left things on a good note.  That way, when you do contact your ex again, you’re on equal footing and not coming from a place where your ex has all of the control.

By learning from your relationship mistakes, you’re taking control of the situation again.  You’re showing your ex that you’re mature and know how to handle a break up.  That makes them more inclined to want to listen to you instead of just ignoring your calls and texts.  You’re changing how your ex thinks about you and the break up.  And when you do that, it makes the odds of getting back together much higher.

Something To Consider When You Want Your Ex Back

Why get your ex back?Breakups suck. And when you want to get your ex back, then breakups suck even more. Obviously if you were over your ex, then you wouldn’t be reading this. Which means you’re unhappy right now. And you’re not just unhappy with your breakup, but you might also be unhappy with everything that’s going on in your life right now. Major life changes tend to do that to a person.

That’s why I want you to consider one thing: WHY you really want to get your ex back.

Lots of people just want to get back together because it’s easier than moving on. Plus once you’re not in the drama of the relationship anymore it’s a lot easier to see what went wrong and think that it will be easy to change it. There is nothing wrong with feeling this way. There’s also nothing wrong with knowing what happened in the relationship and what you would do differently if given a second chance.

The problem comes in when you want to get your ex back just because you don’t know what to do with your life without him or her.

It’s easy to lose yourself in your relationship. You’re happy. You love the other person so much that you’re willing to do a lot of compromising in order to make them happy. You stop going out with your friends. You might even stop doing some things you love just so that you can spend time with your love.

And that’s all well and good — until you break up and you realize that you’re really left with a giant hole in your life. And that’s not to say that it should be easy to move on after a breakup, because of course it’s not going to be easy. But if you’re looking to get back together with your ex because you have nothing else going on, then it’s going to make you feel desperate. It’s going to make you feel like your life is over, when it isn’t.

I’ve been there. I’ve lost someone I love and not known what to do in order to get them back into my life. And I know what it’s like to spend lots of time and energy wishing you could move on but not being able to. That’s part of the reason I started this blog. I love to help people and I hate to see them suffer. But I can definitely tell you that it’s going to be easier and faster to get your ex back when you’re happy with your life. You don’t want to spend MONTHS sitting by the phone waiting around and hoping they’ll call.

It helps to feel good about yourself. It helps to believe in yourself. And that can only happen when you’re happy — regardless of whether or not you get your ex back.

Think about preparing your life for the person you love to come back. Think about what your life was like when you met them. Think about all of the things you used to do and who you were as a person. If any of those things have changed — significantly — since you got together with your ex, or even since you broke up, then it’s time to get serious.

Make a list of all of the things you’ve given up in your life in order to be with your ex. Decide right now that you’re going to pick at least one or two things on that list and do them again. If you love running and haven’t been out in a while, then it’s time to do it. If you love playing your guitar but your ex worked second shift so you couldn’t play without disturbing them, then it’s time to get it out.

Think about all of the ways you can make your life better while you’re getting your ex back. Besides, you don’t want to go on that first date all over again and the only thing you have to talk about is how you sat around waiting for them to come back. You want to be happy in your life so your ex wants to come back. Not so unhappy that your entire life stopped because they were gone.

It might sound hard, and like you’d rather get a root canal than try to be happy at this particular moment. But in the end, when you get your ex back, it’ll be worth it.

How To Get Your Ex Back When You’re Heartbroken

Get Your Ex Back When You're Heartbroken?When it comes to breakups, probably one of the most asked questions is how to get your ex back when you’re heartbroken. I’m pretty sure we’ve all been there. The first few days and weeks after a break up can be the worst times of your life. A broken heart overshadows everything else. Sometimes it feels like you can’t go on and that your life is put completely on hold until you can be reunited with your ex.

And of course it’s going to feel like that for a little bit. And most of us want to make that time period between the break up and reconciliation as short as possible. So how do you get your ex back fast? How do you move past the hurt and become clear-headed enough that you can get back together?

First, you have to realize that your heart is broken. And that you need some time to feel it. Don’t try to cover it up. Don’t try to pretend to everyone that you’re okay if you’re not okay. You’ll just prolong the inevitable. You’ll have to feel those feelings eventually. So give yourself a chance to really feel them and get them out of your system. BUT don’t act on them. These feelings will pass. The sooner you let yourself really feel them the better. It’s like getting all of the infection out of the wound so that it can heal properly.

Second, you need to put a time limit on it. If you need to take a break from your life for a few days, then do it. But set a time limit on it from the beginning. These things can get out of hand if you let them, and you don’t want everyone in your life to start avoiding you because you’re so focused on your break up. If you really want to get over your heart break and get your ex back, you need to grieve, and then you need to shake yourself out of it so you can make a plan to get back together.

So get it all out of your system. Watch the sad movies, listen to the sad songs, pull out all of your pictures and think about how much you miss your ex. Give yourself a chance to really go crazy if you need to. But under absolutely NO circumstances should you do anything that will jeopardize your chances of getting back together. What does that mean? That means no crazy 2 am phone calls or texts to your ex. No manipulation or lying to get your ex to talk to you. And no hurting yourself or anyone else. Don’t do anything that will make you feel WORSE about your situation. When all you can feel is heartbreak, that isn’t the best time to make decisions. So don’t do anything that will permanently ruin your chances of getting your ex back. Just lay low.

See, when you know what you don’t want, you know even better what you DO want. Give yourself the chance to really wallow in your feelings of losing your ex. Think about the future you’ve lost. Think about all of the things you wanted to do together. Think about how great your relationship USED to be. Really let yourself look at it.

Then, once you’ve done that, it’s time to focus on what you’ve learned. Everything that you know your relationship will be if you’re given a second chance. Think about how much you’d like to change and how great it will be. Make lists of everything that you love about your ex and your life together. You want to focus on the future from now on.

That’s why it’s so important to really take a good look at what caused your break up and how it feels to lose your ex. If you really let yourself take a hard look at it, it can be the new jumping off place for your reconciliation. It can be the phoenix rising from the ashes. And you’ll be able to see how the break up could actually be good for your relationship. But you won’t be able to do that if you don’t learn from the situation. If all you’re doing is avoiding the hurt and trying to pretend it isn’t really happening.

The truth is that break ups can sometimes be a really good thing for you and your ex. Getting back together after being apart for a little while can give you a new found appreciation for your life together. It can show you how bad things can really get, so that you never let them get that way again.

So don’t avoid the heartbreak. Let yourself really feel it. Then pick yourself up and dust yourself off. Start focusing on your future all over again. Let yourself understand how you can get your ex back and start a new life together at the same time. This could be the best time of your life. So let it!

Get Your Ex Back Tip #2: Just Get Happy

Now if you read Get Your Ex Back Tip #1, you might think I’m a bit crazy. Give up on getting your ex back? Yeah, right! Of course that wasn’t really what I meant — you should never give up on getting back together if you think you have a shot. After all, true love is pretty hard to come by. And if you think your ex is your soul mate, then just giving up sounds like the last thing you want to do.

But the thing about tip #1 is that it’s about mindset. It’s about giving yourself a break so that you can really get on the road to get your ex back. It’s about focusing in such a way that you don’t see the absence of your ex everywhere you turn.

So once you’ve given yourself a break, it’s time to get on to tip #2: Just Get Happy.

Now you really might think I’m nuts, but bear with me. Right after a break up is the time you really want to wallow in sadness. Listen to soppy love songs. Watch sad movies that make you want to bawl your eyes out. Sit around in your pajamas for days on end. And there’s a time and a place for that. I’m not trying to talk you out of it. But if you want to get your ex back, it’s not going to happen while you’re sitting on your couch, eating ice cream and crying over The Vow. No. At some point you’re going to have to get up and do something.

And one of the first things that you need to do is make yourself happy. In almost any legal way possible. The more you can distract yourself from your situation, the more you can pour yourself into something you love, the easier it’s going to be to get your ex back.

Even if you don’t FEEL LIKE BEING HAPPY, now is the time to fake it til you make it. Watch funny movies. Call your friends. Go out and party. Go to theme parks. Anything that you used to love, now is the time to do it.

This works for two reasons: One, it’s a really good distraction from your current situation. Two, it changes your entire body language.

Picture a depressed person: Frowning, droopy hair, slumped shoulders — their entire body screams that they aren’t happy. Does that make you want to be with someone? Does that make you miss someone?

Now picture a happy person, or someone in the middle of doing something they love. Think about your ex the first time you met. I bet he or she didn’t look like they hated their life. I bet they didn’t look like they were waiting for someone to come around and make them happy, right?

Happy people are attractive! And if you happen to run into your ex when you’re out doing something that makes you happy, then guess what happens? It’s going to help you get your ex back much faster. He or she is going to wonder why you are so happy without them. They’re going to miss you. And it might even challenge them a bit to really want to know why you were able to seemingly get over them so easily.

Plus, wouldn’t you rather be out doing things rather than waiting around for your ex to call? Do you really want to put your life on hold until your ex comes back? Didn’t think so.

So if you want to get your ex back fast, then get happy.

Get Your Ex Back Tip #1: Just Give Up

When you’re looking for tips to help you get your ex back, probably the last thing you really want to hear is that you should give up.  After all, who really wants to admit defeat?  If you really want to get your lover back, then giving up sounds horrible.  It sounds like the last thing you would ever want to do.  Just the thought of never seeing them again . . . how do you deal with that?

But giving up is my first Get Your Ex Back Tip for a reason.  Here’s why:

When all you’re doing is sitting around, thinking about ways you can get your ex back, then your entire life is wrapped up in the <i>absence of what you want.</i>  And that makes you feel really, really horrible.  And when you feel horrible, then you can’t think straight.  Your entire life is focused on what you don’t have, and how to get it back.  Admit it: I’m right.

When I say that you need to give up if you want to get your ex back, what I mean is that you need to give up the struggle.  If you’re doing nothing but looking for signs to see if your ex still wants to be with you, or if you’re looking to see if your get your ex back ‘technique’ is working, then you’re doing it all wrong.

If you’re focused on what you don’t have (your ex) then you’re never going to get him or her back.  Think about what attracted you to your ex in the first place.  I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t neediness or clingyness.  Chances are really good that it was confidence.  And the feeling of pursuit.  And the idea of being with someone who made you feel amazing.

Once you’ve gotten to the place where all you can think about is what your ex is doing without you . . . well, you’ve gone over to the dark side.  You’re not thinking about how to attract your ex back to you.  Instead, you’re focused on what your life is now like without him or her.  Miserable.

And here’s the biggest thing, and the number 1 reason why this is my first tip to help you get your ex back:  You can’t relax and really concentrate on getting them back if all you’re doing is feeling miserable.  It leads to desperate attempts to get them to talk to you.  It leads to 3 am text messages.  It leads to Facebook stalking.  It leads to all sorts of things that will end up pushing your ex away instead of pulling them to you.  And the last thing you need right now is another reason for your ex to feel like the break up was a good decision.

Of course it’s easier said than done.  I get that I’m not exactly giving you an idea that makes you jump up and down with excitement.  I don’t want you to feel like your problems are going to be solved all at once, because they won’t be.  Not yet.  You need to make getting your ex back feel possible.  And the more you think about what your life is like without your ex, the more you think about all sorts of desperate ways to get your ex’s attention . . . the more impossible it will seem to you.

You’re making getting your ex back WAY too big of a deal.  And I know it sucks to hear that.  But if you can tone down your thoughts, even for a day or two, you’ll see how much better you feel.  And once you feel better, then you can clear your head and be ready to do what it really takes to get your ex back.  You’ll be ready to do things that work, instead of things that make you feel better momentarily but backfire in the end.

And that’s what you really want, right?  You don’t want to get your ex back temporarily — you want your ex back for good.
