How To Get Over A Breakup

by Casey Evens

If you have recently experienced a breakup, chances are good that you are looking for answers on one of two things, either how you are supposed to get over your ex or how you should go about getting your ex back. Both are hard options, but most people will fit into one of the two categories, with only a few of them actually being able to fully move on without pinning for their ex or wishing for a different outcome.

Before you do anything you need to step back and really analyze the relationship and your ex. Think about how everything was and how everything will be now. Try to set the way you are feeling aside and be objective. You’ll either really want your ex back or you might find that the breakup isn’t really that bad of an idea.

If you decide that you want to learn how to get your ex back then the first thing you need to do is apologize. Even if you feel as if you have already done this. You might have even said that you we’re sorry multiple times. However, if your ex thought that you were only apologizing for the sake of trying to save your relationship, then chances are they did not view your apology as a sincere one.

If you did something to your ex that deserves a sincere apology then consider apologizing again without trying to get back with your ex. Your ex will think you are sincere this time since nothing is hinging on your apologizing. When you have already gone through the breakup, then you won’t be apologizing simply to try and save your relationship, but because you are truly sorry and meant it.

If it is your ex who should be apologizing to you then instead of trying to get them to say they are sorry, you should forgive them. Even though you might never forget, especially if they were unfaithful, in order to get our ex back you will have to be able to forgive them. Just saying the words will most often not be enough for you to really forgive them deep down so you might need to read a book (or two) on how to really forgive someone. If you want to get your ex back then being able to forgive them is really important. It will also help prevent your relationship from having problems in the future.

If you do get back together with your ex, a few months down the road of your newly repaired relationship, some of the old problems that the relationship had might start finding there way back into your relationship. If you only said you forgave your ex but really didn’t, then you will have a hard time getting past everything. When old wounds are reopened, then hurtful things are often said.

If you have forgiven your ex for real, then there will be no need to relive your past problems. While you are in the process of learning how to forgive your ex for the reasons that you broke up, try to forgive them fro the actual breakup. This will save you much heartache down the road.

Another thing you can do to win back your ex is to show them the side of you that they fell in love with, not just the you who got broken up with. You were in the relationship because you had certain qualities that they loved about you like your thoughtfulness or kindness, not because you were hurt, angry, and a green eyed monster. While it will be difficult to hide that you are hurt, you should concentrate on being the best “you” that you can be and you might win back your ex by being the person that they fell in love with.
