When you are dating and everything is going fine in the relationship, the last thing you think about is breaking up but after some time passes the situation changes and you both decide to go your separate ways.
The thing is you are not completely over your partner and you would like them back.
Getting back with an ex is not a simple matter but it can be done and people do it all the time and have happy successful relationships.
The important thing to do when a relationship ends is to give each other some time.
This will give both parties space and allow them to think about things.
The worst thing you can do is be clingy and ask to get back together one day after the separation.
Spend some time with your friends, join a gym, get a new haircut etc.
Stay busy and don't get depressed.
Never blame yourself and try to let go of any bad feelings for your ex-partner.
You should do all you can to better yourself, both physically and mentally.
You can start jogging or start a course in a subject you've always wanted to learn about.
You shouldn't do these things with the only aim of getting your ex-back.
You should do it for yourself, but in the process next time you meet your ex-partner they will see how much you have changed and become a better person.
Meeting an ex for the first time is always tricky.
There is always the temptation to get physical, but you should resist getting intimate with each other straight away.
You want to get back with them and not just have a one night stand.
Be nice and polite and act like you are meeting for the first time and getting to know each other.
If your ex feels the same way as you do and wants to get back it will happen naturally.
Don't force it.
In any break up there are times one partner has moved on and has no interest in getting back together again.
If this is the case with your partner, let them go and move on with your life.
It will be difficult but it is much healthier for you.
