A Break Up - How To Get Over It

By Matt Lions

Why is it so difficult to remain in love? Everybody wonders the same thing after a particularly bad breakup. People have been breaking up since the custom of dating began, but we really aren't that good at it yet. We often want desperately to get our ex back, but don't really have the first clue about how to do that.

Take this, for instance. Some people act far too needy and clingy. They want their ex to come back to them so much that they just come across as desperate. You want your ex to have feelings for you, not just feel sorry for you.

If you've made that mistake yourself, good luck. It's still not impossible to get your ex back, but you've certainly made it harder for yourself.

Acting like you're not desperate when you truly feel that way is not going to be easy. But look at the situation objectively. Think about things from your ex's point of view and how they are going to be seeing you.

All the emotions that you have, should be done in private. There is absolutely nothing wrong with crying or screaming, but do that in your own private time, not in front of your ex.

Additionally, you don't want to seem argumentative in front of your ex. Lots of people make this mistake, and it boggles the mind. Often, we see former couples fighting, even though one of them would secretly like to reunite with the other. This doesn't make any sense.

The absolute last thing that a couple needs is to raise their voices with one another if they're ever going to get back together.

If you want advice on getting back together in two words, here they are: be flexible. Don't be stubborn or proud. You don't have time for that. The only thing you need to worry about is getting your ex back. Being stubborn and inflexible will not help. - 15437
