Changing What Went Wrong to Get Your Ex Back

Posted by Jack

You are home after a date with yet another guy.  It didn’t go well.  You find yourself saying I want my ex back. 

After a break up, you may move on to other people.  But, when you constantly find yourself thinking you want your ex back, are there things you can do to rekindle an old relationship?

First, clear your energy from other people.  Don’t invest time and energy in men who aren’t your ex.  For your old relationship to start working again, you have to prepare your mind, body and soul for him.  If you are flirting with another guy, dating other men, or even worse, sleeping around, you are not preparing the proper mindset for getting your ex back.

Next, keep your dignity.  Don’t chase your ex, flooding him with hundreds of text messages, calling him at odd times of day, or stalking him.  Also, you need to make him respect you and treat you well.  Don’t be a doormat.  You will only command your ex’s respect and love when you are yourself at your best.  Hold your head high.  You will increase your chances of getting back together with your ex if you do.

Third, make a list of the things you appreciate about your ex and spend some time dwelling on them.  Sometimes, a bad break up ends with all kinds of accusations.  Now that you have some breathing room, start to concentrate on his good points.  This is a good thing to do when you want ex back.

Next, when you get back together, try changing some of the circumstances.  Go to new places and try new things.  Take up a new hobby together.  Meet new people.  By changing the environment of your relationship, you have a better chance of making it work.  Don’t fall into the same old patterns of your relationship.  You may even want to tune your relationship down a notch.  If you were living together, try having separate places for a while.  If you were engaged, try just dating.  Don’t try to force your relationship back into old patterns.

Finally, create a shared sense of destiny.  While fate certainly plays a role in our lives, we are the ones who write our life script.  Map out with your partner where you want to go.  When you do this together, you create a mission with a place for both of you.

When you want your ex back, you have to work with new scenarios.


How To Make A Rebound Relationship Work

Posted by Jack

A rebound relationship is one where she is dating someone else in order to get over breaking up with you.  Rebound relationships keep people from having to deal with the emotions of breaking up.  They’re used to help people move on from a real love.

And that’s the key to getting your ex back.  She’s in a rebound relationship to deal with losing you.

It does not matter why she lost you.  It doesn’t matter if it is your fault or hers.  It doesn’t even matter who actually called the relationship off.  What matters is that you have a real love.

Because virtually all relationships founded on real love can be saved.

If she’s in a rebound relationship, she will be focusing on what is wrong with your relationship.  If you were a “good guy” she’ll probably be hanging out with a “bad boy.”  If you were into philosophy, he’ll be watching Monday Night Football.  Or, vice versa.

The fact that she is actually focusing on the differences in your styles is actually good for you for two reasons.  Her attention is still focused on you even when she’s with the new guy.  And, it gives you a chance to see what she’s looking for.

If she’s with someone as different from you as possible, it means that she was missing something in your relationship.  You can use the time she’s with rebound man to improve yourself.

Let the rebound relationship run its course.  Because, as she spends time with the new guy, she’ll start to see the flaws in him.  After a month or so with rebound man, you’ll start to look pretty good.

That’s why you don’t want to crawl back to her right away.  Let her develop the idea that she misses the good things in the relationship.  When she’s ready to make a move, be magnanimous.  Welcome her back graciously.  Be a new and improved boyfriend, but don’t do the chasing.

Here are the best steps to take when your ex is in a rebound relationship:

·    Don’t try to convince her that you are the love of her life.  Let her figure this out on her own.

·    Don’t apologize over and over.  If you did something wrong,  say you’re sorry.  Once.  But move on.  She knows the real reason she loves you.

·    Don’t make promises to change.  You are who you are and that’s who she fell in love with.

·    Don’t try to make her see that it wasn’t your fault.  She will come to appreciate that over time – but only if you haven’t made her invest energy in defending her position that it was your fault.

·    Do not ever, ever beg her to take you back.

When you ex starts going out with someone just after you break up, she’s in a rebound relationship.  You can make up with her and get back together.  Don’t worry.  The rebound relationship is a sign that she still loves  you.


How to Get Your Ex Back After an Affair

Posted by Jack

Some people say that an affair should end a relationship.  I think that a relationship is savable if both parties really want to work on it.

Restoring trust in relationships requires an change in attitude and actions.  Even after an affair, it is possible to save a relationship.  But that starts with increasing the level of trust within the couple.

If you have had an affair, you have had an attitude which allowed you to stray.  There may be something at the relationship’s core that is diseased.  But you can heal the disease.

What was it that you were looking for when you strayed?  Was the sex boring?  Was she too busy for you?  Was she just not spending enough time on her appearance?

You wouldn’t have had an affair if the primary relationship was perfect.  So, what can be done to fix it?  Often that lies in self analysis.  But just as often, that lies in the couple’s relationship.

Restoring trust in relationships means fixing the underlying problems.  Sometimes that means going into couples counseling.

But just understanding our thoughts isn’t enough.  The next step is to take real action to fix the problem.

The secret to restoring trust in relationships lies not in talking about the right things, but in doing the right things.

One of the biggest things you can do is to make small promises and keep them.  If you promise to take the trash out every evening, do it.  And, do it consistently.  When you demonstrate that you can be trusted in the small things, a gradual sense of confidence will be realized in the larger picture of the relationship.

Your girlfriend or wife is going to need constant reassurance that you have changed.  This means that you are going to need to apologize more than once over time.  You will also need to treat the recurring comments about the violation of trust as part of the process.  It is not easy for her to forgive you.  If you want to stay with her, you will be patient with her.

This does not mean that you must feel guilty about the indiscretion forever.  In fact, if you allow her to constantly guilt trip you, she will not be happy in the new relationship you are building.  Just try to be understanding.

Finally, you must try to put a positive spin on the incident.  Treat it as an opportunity for both of you to grow as individuals and for the relationship to mature.  A relationship can even improve after an affair.

Restoring trust in a relationship takes time.  It requires that you change both your attitudes and actions.  But it is possible to heal the rift and become a stronger couple as a result.

If you are asking yourself “How can I get my ex back?”, then there are some things you need to know. If you learn how to react following a break up, and you become aware of how not to strain the relationship even further, then getting ex back will be more comfortable than ever.

Keep your confidence – If you are asking “how can I get my ex back?”, then you should remain positive. Rather than going around feeling gloomy, try to find ways that you can keep yourself occupied and happy. Keep the depression out of your demeanor. Allow your ex boyfriend or girlfriend to know that you are strong and that you’re more than able of managing such an emotional situation, and also that you are capable of enduring on your own as well.

Remain socially active – If getting your ex back is your primary focus, surround yourself with well wishers, positive attitudes and good friends. Show your ex that people appreciate you, and that they love having you around.

Did something fail between you and your beau, causing one or both of you to take flight? If you were well on your way to creating a happy relationship and for some reason managed to drop-off the course, don’t worry! It is imaginable to discover how to get your ex boyfriend back with the right steps and a basic understanding of where to go from here.

First, you are going to want to ask yourself four vital inquiries. These are really important inquiries when it comes to solving how to get your ex boyfriend back.

- Is the matter that caused the breakup actually crucial enough to justify the attention it is bringing forth?

- Is it even really pertinent to argue about this matter right now?

- Can anything be changed or made different by prevailing in the argument or is it more worthwhile to just nip the argument in the bud and move on?

- Is the issue even deserving debating about in the first place?

If you answer no to any of the aforesaid questions, then stop fighting the matter and let it slide. Many break ups can be prevented or quickly rekindled if a large argument is settled. Surprisingly enough, many breakup inducing argument are really completely unnecessary, and could be cast aside if only the parties involved could let the tension slide and go on.

The next measure to learning how to get your ex boyfriend back is to stop fretting so severely about how you are being comprehended.

You want to let go on these concerns so that you can finally be yourself and let your behavior flow. This way, people like your ex boyfriend will comprehend you for who you actually are, rather than who you are trying to be.

Emotionally and mentally distancing yourself from your ex is an crucial step in discovering how to get your ex boyfriend back. While this may seem counterintuitive, it is actually important to take yourself out of the situation mentally, removing the stress associated with the break up. When you are feeling more calmed and relaxed, and he is feeling the same, this is when true resolution can finally become a part of the dialogue between the two of you. A little bit of distance never hurt anyone. It’s important to stay in contact and maintain positive conversation and communication, but take the emotions out of the situation if you want to survive the conversation.

Most breakups can be easily undone if you and your ex boyfriend can simply find the patience and civility to talk things through, so this should be your primary goal if you want to rekindle the flame with an ex domestic partner that you care significantly for.

These are just the first steps in how to win your ex boyfriend back without driving him away.


The Big Secret To Get Your Ex To Return Your Calls

Posted by Jack

Are there ’secret’ words you can use to get your ex to return your phone calls?

Sounds hard to believe but there ARE words that will nearly cast a spell and make your ex feel almost compelled to return your call.

I am going to share this with you because this is one of the biggest questions I get from people that are trying to put their relationship back together.

If you use this technique alone, without an ‘overall’ plan or strategy…you may damage your relationship more than if they never returned your call.

Before we get into the actual words, let’s go over what message almost NEVER works. and worse…

Puts you in an AWFUL ‘psychological’ position.

These usually fall into 2 categories.

The PLEAD- Where the message sounds like

“John, please, please call me. This is the 3rd time I have called. I HAVE to talk to you.”

And the EMERGENCY-

“Cindy, this is an emergency. Please call me as soon as you get this.”

Now, I think you can see what is wrong with both of those approaches?

Two of the most powerful forces in the human mind are

*Curiosity &
*Self Interest

And here’s the BIG SECRET!

When you combine the two, you have a recipe that WILL work ‘magic’

So…

Let’s look at what you can say that works nearly EVERY TIME.

In a friendly tone:

“Hi John. It’s Cindy. I wanted to let you know I appreciate what you did for me. Call me because I want to thank you in person.”

Do you see how that uses BOTH curiosity and self interest?

John will NOT be able to resist! “What did I do?” “What does she appreciate?” he will be thinking. And he feels good because it is a positive message.

Now…

Before you call you need to do the “Set Up”…which is figuring out what he/she did that you appreciate.

It can be any small thing…but needs to be plausible.

But more importantly…

What you do before, during and after you get them to return your  call is MORE important than getting them to return your call.
