Break-ups are extremely difficult and you will have to go through all of the different emotions in order to come through to the other side.
The feeling of rejection that you get when someone wants to break up with you is extremely powerful, and the first thing you will want to do is stay with them at all costs.
If you want to prevent a breakup from becoming permanent, here are 3 tips for getting your ex back.
The first tip is to ensure that you do not stay in contact with your ex.
If you are always trying to call up and begged them to take you back this will push them further away.
Avoid calling them, texting them, e-mailing them, and certainly never meet up with them in person.
You will be able to move on during this period and in addition you will also prove to them that you do not necessarily need them in your life.
Being desperate and needy is one of the worst character traits that you can display and this is all you are going to do by contacting them regularly.
Instead, avoid contact and they will begin to think again.
The second tip is to ensure that your confidence is being built during this period.
It is absolutely fundamental that you regain your confidence as this is likely to be very low once you have been rejected.
In your desperate and very emotional state you will never going to be able to rekindle your relationship.
As such, try to enjoy your time as much as possible as a single person.
Continue to see your friends, buy some new clothes, go on holiday, change your hairstyle.
Do anything that is going to build your confidence as this will be the most important factor in actually getting your ex back.
The third tip is to finally get back in contact with your ex, but only when you feel emotionally stable enough to do so.
This should start with a casual phone call just to see how they are doing and to have a chat about what is going on in each other's lives.
Do not talk for long, and suggest a face-to-face chat.
At the casual meeting you need to demonstrate your confidence and show your ex the person that you were when you are happiest together.
Again, be casual and never even mentioned a breakup.
Do not mention getting back together, but simply demonstrate yourself in the best way possible.
If there is a chance of you rekindling your relationship, then the embers will start to burn again.
