There are no doubt walls have built up between you. Whatever the reason is for those walls to have been built, get rid of them. If this is going to work you must both agree to start with a clean slate and just forget about what brought you here to begin with. Everything will get worked out in time.

Time. Your relationship did not get this bad overnight and it will not get fixed overnight either. So, understand that if it is to be fixed it will take some time. The sooner you start, the sooner your relationship will be back to normal.

Try to look at the situation from your partner’s point of view. This will give you a new perspective on the problem or problems affecting things so negatively. Too often when things start to go bad, one or both people in the relationship go into what they think is survival mode and figure it is every man or woman for themselves. You stop working and thinking as a team. No relationship can survive without teamwork.

The best way to get your partner’s perspective on the relationship is to sit down with them and ask them what they think. Never be so presumptuous as to insist you know what your partner is thinking. You could be dead wrong and that would only make things worse.

So, when first inviting your partner to sit and talk about saving a relationship, make sure that any ego or pride is left at the door. Remember the saying, “Pride goeth before the fall.” Make up your mind, do you want your pride or do you want your partner? You most likely cannot have both. If you choose your pride then your relationship will fall.

Set the ground rules for your talk. First, let your partner have the floor and let them get everything out on the table. Show your partner some respect and do not comment or interrupt them when they are speaking. Wait patiently for your turn and then focus only on the issues at hand. Take notes if you need to so you can respond to whatever it is they want to say.

Stay cool, calm, and collected, do not get angry at them for voicing their opinions and make sure when it is your turn they know that they should do the same. The only way this will be effective is if the hurt and anger stays at the door with the pride.

Whatever the issues are talk each one through to a solution. Do not leave anything unresolved. This may mean you have to have more than one session with each other. Do not get too busy for these sessions, make appointments if you need to and stick to them. Anything that gets left behind will just fester like a splinter in your finger and pretty soon the infection will spread to the bloodstream of the relationship and your relationship will die from sepsis.

Saving a relationship takes time and effort on both parts. Taking the time and making the effort shows each other you are committed to doing what needs to be done to keep your relationship strong.

Your first step should always be to distance yourself from your ex and this is an action to preserve your sanity as much as it to make a statement to your ex boyfriend.  This step will stop you fixating on your ex and give you the space to concentrate on your own needs and requirements to help you get through this stressful time.

Make a serious attempt to reconnect with your family and friends and accept any help that will undoubtedly come from those who love and care about you.  If you’re serious about figuring out how to get your ex boyfriend back it would be a huge mistake on your part to isolate yourself.  With people around you it means you’re not sitting at home crying and obsessing about the breakup of your relationship or your ex boyfriend.

Now, as you’re spending time with family and friends, find out from them what they saw as the downfall of the relationship.  I’m sure your boyfriend would’ve told you what he thought as he walked out, and you no doubt have your own ideas on what went wrong and why.  However, sometimes it takes the perspective of an outsider looking in to make sense of a relationship.  So if you seriously want to figure out how to get your ex boyfriend back then ask others for their opinions.

Your next move is to make sure that given what you’ve heard back from family and friends regarding their take on the breakup, that you now think for yourself. You either agree or disagree with what’s been said and of course you’re doubtless going to get different opinions from them all.  So take some time to weigh up what’s been said and the final decision is yours.  Yes you started out wanting to get your ex boyfriend back, but is it still what you want?  Perhaps you’ve heard some ‘truths’ that now put that quest in doubt?  Perhaps you’ve had time to come to terms with the breakup and you can more readily accept it?  Whatever and wherever you are, be clear on what you want before you make the next move.

If you’re still determined to go ahead and win him back, then your next move is to call him and to do so calmly and without emotion and drama and talk to him about the way you feel.

Once your ex has left the relationship and you know you want them back, it’s time to start sorting out your head in order to get them back.  No doubt there has been drama and emotional turmoil in the run up to the breakup and during the actual breakup.  If you’re going to win back lost love you’re going to need to sort yourself out and do so on your own.

It is vital that you do not involve your ex as you attempt to clear your mind, because you need space and distance from your ex and they from you.  So, if you are still in any form of contact with your ex then break off that contact now.  Contact will only make you vulnerable.  If you’re vulnerable then you become someone whose ability to make rational and calm decisions becomes impaired.  Get out from under your ex and stand on your own two feet until you can honestly say that you are through the worst of the initial breakup.

Equally, do your best to avoid spending too much time on your own.  Because as much as you need to be away from your ex, you also need to have people around you. Spending too much time on your own brings a real risk of you becoming depressed and low.  You might also find that if you’re on your own too much, then you can struggle with the temptation to call or try to see your ex.  So find your friends.  If you need to make new friends, then do so.  Do anything to avoid being home alone night after night.

To win back lost love make sure that you are clear about the mistakes that were made in the relationship by you.  Yes your ex no doubt made their fair share of mistakes, but for now your concern is your own behavior since that is the only thing you can realistically control and affect.

Come to terms with your weaknesses and make sure that if you need to do some work on yourself that you put in place the right mechanisms to do so. That may involve discussing your situation with a professional or it might mean changing the way that you cope with certain situations.

Whatever you need to do to win back lost love, if you are serious, then you need to get on and do it before it’s too late.

So, it’s time to stop acting like a pouting princess and instead start behaving like a responsible and mature young woman who knows her own mind and is capable of making tough decisions.

Now, discovering that you have an ex boyfriend to get back means you’re really going to need to look at whatever it was that caused the split between the two of you in the first place.  If you dumped him on a whim because of something that he did and you have now put what happened into perspective, then without a doubt, you’re going to have to do some apologizing and back peddling.  So take a deep breath, stay calm and go and see him.  Tell him that you have had time to think and you’re now ready to forgive and forget.  Not only that, you would  also like to apologize for any over reaction on your part. With any luck that will be the end of the rift and you will have succeeded in getting him back.

However, if there is more to it or he doesn’t accept your apology and you find you still have an ex boyfriend to get back, then you’re going to have to do some more work.

Look at yourself!  If you find yourself constantly in turmoil with your love life, then take a long hard look at what might be causing the problem.  If you have issues about your own behavior that has caused comments from others or that you’re not happy with, then face them.  Truth is, if you are going to make a success of this relationship or any future relationship, then you have to take the long hard walk and sort yourself out.

Here are some clues!  Avoid making decisions when you’re emotional.  You will probably make a ton of wrong decisions if you are not calm and have not thought through outcomes and consequences.   Especially true, if you have an ex boyfriend to get back, because emotions and gestures are definitely the wrong approach to take to a love life in turmoil.

So, think clearly and take your time about your approach to win him back.  Present him with valid and tangible reasons why this time around the relationship will be different and so stand a chance of working.  At all costs, dump the pouting princess and reveal to him a grown up and capable young woman he can have some fun with.

Well the real answer of why it’s difficult to win back an ex is really two fold.  The first point is that once you’ve been dumped by someone you’re still in love with the balance of power immediately shifts their way.  The second point is that most people have no real idea what to do to successfully get back with someone they love and end up spending a great deal of time racing around doing all the wrong things.

Truth is, once your ex has the upper hand in a relationship you can find yourself forever trying to catch up to them and both of you know it. If your ex knows that you want them back often times they will make you work to get them back and they will often enjoy the drama of putting you through getting them back.  Plainly put, they have something that you desperately want and boy do they know it.

To win back an ex then, play it cool!  You don’t have to declare straight away to your ex that you want them back.  You simply keep that intention to yourself and make every effort to distance yourself from them.

If you’re reading this because you feel you know that your love is about to break up with you, then when the break up comes agree to it calmly and rationally and let them go.  Don’t give them a clue that you desperately want them to stay.

When they’ve gone, work at keeping yourself busy and occupied with other things that are not centered around your ex and your relationship.  Don’t make yourself readily available to them to chat or do favors for them.  If they call, be polite, chat for a couple of minutes, but make it clear you’re busy and have places to go.

Here’s a warning for you!  Many people faced with trying to distance themselves from their exs simply can’t do it!  They mistakenly believe that if they run around doing favors for their exs that their ex will see them as someone they need.  They think they will be able to prove and show their exs how much they love them by being there for them!  Wrong!  This seldom works because all that happens is that the ex either gets fed up with them hanging around in their life or the ex will start to take advantage.  So don’t fall into that trap!

Keep your distance and what will begin to happen is that you will feel the power naturally swing your way and you will be in a far better position to win back an ex.

The surefire way to get your needs met in a relationship is by making sure the other person knows just what those needs are. You can’t read minds, and you shouldn’t expert your partner to be able to read minds either. He or she wants to make sure your relationships needs are met, so tell them what they are.

At the same time, encourage your partner to tell you the needs he or she feels are important. You might be surprised to learn, if you’ve never had this conversation before, how different your needs might be.

You might feel the need for you partner to tell you he loves you often, so may you do that for him. He no doubt enjoys that, but maybe what he really needs is for you to do quick considerate things to make him feel special. Some people like to be told, and some people like to be shown.

Simply having a discussion about your relationships needs can strengthen the relationship and make it easier for you to keep each other happy. If you’re uncomfortable having such a frank discussion, you should do it anyway. Telling each other your needs is better than hinting or expecting them to be psychic.

You may really need your partner to be more helpful to you. But when it’s time to clean or wash dishes you do them alone, yet again. And instead of simply asking for help or letting him know that it would mean a lot to you if he would do them sometimes or do them with you, you get angry.

You might huff around while you’re doing them, slam a cabinet, or act otherwise put out. This is passive aggressive behavior. You’re trying to manipulate him into helping you by acting that way. It’s much better and healthier to simply ask for help.

Passive aggressive behavior is common in relationships, and it’s a worsening cycle because it doesn’t work. If he does take your hint, it’s only after you’ve acted put upon, angry and resentful. So his doing the dishes might be only to keep you from acting that way.

If you ask for help and explain that it makes you feel good when he wants to help you, then he’s coming at the task from a place of love and helpfulness. He doesn’t feel guilted into doing it, so it’s better for everyone.

This applies to things like showing affection, respecting each other’s feelings, and every aspect of your relationship. When you want something, ask for it, and be prepared to give your partner what he or she asks for to make sure all your relationships needs are met.

So what did you do?  Did you cheat?  Were you neglectful?  Selfish?  Or just unlucky? The questions could go on.  Whichever or whatever you did, if you seriously want to get girl back, you’re going to have to sort yourself out!

It’s no doubt going to be tough for you, but I’m going to suggest something counter-intuitive: leave her alone!  Give her some time to herself.  You never know, she might well realize that she misses you and agrees to starting up the relationship again all on her own.  Don’t dismiss this possibility, even if all looks lost right now, equally don’t cling to it as a possibility.  If it happens it happens, if it doesn’t it doesn’t!

However, if what you need to get girl back is a much more direct and hands on approach then again, take some time out and use that time to get your head straight.  By default, you give her some time to think also and put the whole thing into much needed perspective.

So, find your friends and spend time with them.  Make sure you’re not pestering her with emails and texts and accidentally trying to bump into her in the places where you know she hangs out.  This will only back fire on you and ruin your chances of getting her back, because she’ll only become annoyed with you.

If you neglected her, missed her birthday, hardly ever took her out, then you need to seriously look at that behavior.  No girl worth her salt is going to put up with such behavior.  A girl wants and needs, to be taken out and made a fuss of.  She needs to know that you want to be with her for more than the obvious. If you fail to show her that, then she will walk and find a guy who can show her that.

If all that you did was hang around with your friends and ignored her wishes, then again, you’re going to have to understand that this is not the way to treat a girl.  If you’re sure that you want a girlfriend then it’s time to fix up, look good and look sharp!  Start acting like she’s important to you.

To get girl back you now need to show her that you have understood her needs and you are ready and prepared to meet those needs.  Don’t mess up and try and get her back under false pretenses.  It won’t work for long and maybe when she leaves the next time, she’ll be gone for good.

When you decide you want to get back with ex, you must be ready to face not only what has gone wrong with the relationship, but also your part in the break down of the relationship.  If you made mistakes then don’t beat yourself up for that.  We all make them, it’s what you do after the mistake that’s important.

So sit down on your own and take some time to go through what happened and what were the issues that led up to what happened.  Don’t concern yourself too much with what you see as your ex’s mistakes, leave that for the future.  Only concern yourself right now with what you can influence.

Whatever mistakes you find in your past behavior, can they be forgiven?  Don’t be too eager to get down on yourself and believe that your mistakes are basically unforgivable.  You would be surprised at the situations that couples find themselves in and that they later recover from.  So don’t think that your mistakes are beyond forgiveness.  There is always hope!

Try and pin point what was happening in your life at the time that led you to make the mistakes, especially if it was completely out of character for you. Remember what I said about facing hard truths, if you want to get back with ex, then you need to do this.

You might discover that you were under certain stresses and strains.  Perhaps you were under threat at your job?  Or you weren’t physically feeling yourself? Or perhaps there were other family issues.  Whatever you find when you look back at what happened, you will eventually need to sit down with your ex and explain in detail just what you have found.

If your mistakes were the result of you just being thoughtless or selfish, then this is something about you and your character that can quite easily be fixed.  It will take ongoing monitoring but if you are sincerely committed to get back with ex, then it is going to be worthwhile.

When you have come to the point where you have begun to gain perspective about your mistakes, then call your ex and arrange to meet.  It is usually better to arrange a face to face meeting somewhere public and neutral because then there is less chance of either of you becoming emotional.

So, make sure that you stay calm and focused on what you want to say.  Apologize and ask for forgiveness and then listen carefully to what your ex has to say.

So let’s look at this!  Your heart is no doubt telling you to drop everything, chase down your ex and make them listen to what you have to say, whether they want to or not.  You heart has convinced you that all your ex has to do is to hear and understand just how much you miss, love and want them back and your ex will forget about everything that went wrong take you back on the spot!  Wrong!

To win back love your head would never tell you to do any of that, instead your head would say back off, get a grip and take your time.  Guess which one you should be listening to!  Yep, your head!

So, leave your ex alone, don’t call them, don’t try to accidentally bump into them wherever you know they hang out and don’t send them love notes – in short make no attempt whatsoever to contact them.

By contacting them, you’re making yourself appear desperate, a pain in the butt and someone that no right minded person would even want to be around never mind consider dating again.  Like a diamond that increases in value the rarer it is, where your ex is concerned, aim to be rare!  Let your ex wonder where you are and why they haven’t heard from you and just like that they will want to hear from you and see you.

If you’re stuck with a problem and the first person you would usually call is your ex, then you’re going to have to figure out how to solve that problem yourself.  Not only does this enhance your standing with your ex, because they realize that you can cope on your own, but it also enhances your own standing in your own head.  If you figure out how to cook that favorite meal that your ex used to cook for you – you realize you can cope!  If you figure out how to change the oil in your car – again you realize that you can cope!

The art to win back love is based in rationale and calmness.  Only then will your ex give you the time of day.  Whatever fire is burning in your heart for your ex, allowing it to run riot and influence you unduly will only be to your detriment.  Calm the flames of your passion and instead use the logical!  That is what will ultimately help you to win back love.
