A great first thing you should start with is improving your communication skills. Understanding how to talk to each other is very important to the success of any relationship and can greatly improve your chances of working things out. This especially holds true before you break up.
Just as important is learning how to listen. Being a good listener will make you better at communicating. When someone knows you are really paying attention to them it will make them feel so much better. They will know you are listening to what they have to say.

Being able to effectively communicate is a skill you need if you truly want to get your ex back. It may be difficult but stick with it towards your ultimate goal and you may fund the two of you together again.
