After sometime apart you may be rethinking things through and realize that what you really want is to get your ex back.
Since happy and healthy relationships don't just break up, we can safely assume that your relationship wasn't as happy or healthy as it could have been.
Usually, the break up is due to unhealthiness more than unhappiness.
Your first step towards getting your ex to come back to you is figuring out exactly what was unhappy about your relationship.
This usually isn't all that difficult because most of us repeat patterns of behavior we learned in childhood.
Usually all you need to do is look back at your past arguments and pinpoint where you were to blame.
Of course, this means that you have to be willing to be real with yourself.
In order to get your ex back you are going to need to get real with yourself.
Once you figure out how you made things worse, you can decide to handle those issues differently.
Taking ownership of your issues and demonstrating that you are prepared to put things right will certainly work in your favour.
We all learned behavioral patterns from childhood and we continue to use them.
Sometimes we don't know exactly how to break these patterns when they no longer serve us.
Many people believe that they have to fight in order to get through their emotions and then they will be able to talk about it.
The pattern is perpetually repeated because at the end of an argument there is the time and ability to really talk it out with your partner.
What if you could cycle through your emotions first without the fight? If you can figure out new ways of dealing with your emotions rather than just recreating the same scenario over and over again then you have a shot at changing the parameters of the relationship.
If just one of you changes your behavior then you can change the whole relationship.
So if you are truly serious and you want to get your ex back then I would recommend following some of the advice contain within this article.
It could take a little time to get your ex back.
Since the two of you have some unhealthy history together, you are quite likely to need to work at changing the state of the relationship.
Things don't change overnight and you may find that you need more than just a few words to get back through the door.
Regardless, an apology is absolutely the first place to start.
