Relationship Breakup Advice – 4 Steps To Get You Moving You Forward

When you first start thinking about how to get back together it is very easy to make the whole thing seem much more complicated than it really is. Fear of the unknown can hold you back from even trying. And if you begin to do anything about getting back together, because you are acting emotionally instead of logically you can make a lot of mistakes that could cost you your relationship. In the beginning all you really need is a little sensible guidance and here are some quick easy to follow steps to get you moving in the right direction.

Step 1

Give your ex some space. Your natural urge is to desperately convince them to come back to you, but this would be a huge mistake. If your ex is not feeling the same way as you are about the split you will only end up losing control of the situation and at worst look like you are begging. Showing your ex that you are desperate to get back with them will only push them away from you. Acting like this will let them see that you are only trying to benefit yourself. You're down and depressed and you want to make yourself feel better. Putting them in this situation and causing a scene will only make them feel uncomfortable. Give your ex some space to breathe. Keep calm and take some time to think about how you are going to approach them.

Step 2

Of all the relationship breakup advice I could suggest, I would say that this was at the top of the list to help to keep you from going crazy! When you are apart it is important that you don't just stay at home sulking and crying all the time. Get yourself active and doing things. Instead of obsessing about the relationship get out there and start having a good time again. Do things that you enjoy. Meet up with friends and get your old self back again. Maybe join your local gym and begin exercising. Do whatever it takes to get your mind off your ex. Because the more you stand still constantly thinking about the breakup, the more likely you are to want to get in contact with them. Let's put this into perspective a little. You have no control over what your ex wants to do, but you do have control of how you can deal with your situation. You can stay at home acting miserable or get out there and have some fun. Whatever you decide to do, you still won't be able to control how your ex feels about you.

Step 3

Get back in touch with your ex in a casual friendly way. Let them see that you still care a lot for them and would like to maybe meet up some time with them as friends. Keep things calm and cool making sure to not make them feel in any way uneasy. Portray an upbeat and happy person when you talk to them. Even though it hurts when you are trying to survive a breakup you need to show your ex that you are doing just fine. Acting down and miserable will only turn her off! How can this help to get her back? Try to think about how your relationship started in the first place. Did you beg and plead with her to fall in love with you? Were you an unhappy downbeat person? Of course not. You need to be the person they first agreed to go on a date with. You need to be that happy upbeat person once again. So if you are still wondering what the best approach to take is to get the ex back, just make sure you let it all happen in a gradual and gentle way.

Step 4

When things feel like they may be going well on your mission of getting the ex back (and if the time is right), you could ask them if would like to maybe go out with you some time. You must be very careful how you approach this as the thought of it as being "a date" could scare them a little. Put them at ease by telling them not to think of it as a date, but to think of it more as just two friends hanging out. Explaining it in this non pushy way will help to remove any uncomfortable doubts they may have about spending time a lone with you.

Without a doubt, being in this period of limbo of not knowing if getting back together with your ex is possible or not is an extremely fragile situation to be in. By following these basic steps you will be moving in the right direction from the very start. You will avoid some of even the most basic mistakes that you can make because you were thinking with your heart and not your head. And therein lays one of the biggest keys to the success of making up with your ex. Think with your head and not with your heart. Before you do anything, ask yourself the question "am I thinking with my head or am I thinking with my heart?" By learning to "Let Logic Control Emotion" you will be vastly improving the chance of success.
