subject: Get Your Ex Back Using These Three Easy Techniques.... [print this page] Picking up the pieces of a broken relationship and working towards fixing it can be one of the toughest things you can ever do. Every step is fraught with peril; one misstep could forever spoil your chances of getting back with your ex.
The steps which may seem and even feel right are in many cases exactly the wrong move. Instead, you should go against your gut instincts here and take a counterintuitive path. Exactly when you feel the most like calling is when you should shut off your phone and keep your cool. Instead of pouring your heart out, keep it under control.
Remember - while these techniques may not seem to you like the right way to go, they have been proven to work again and again.
Counterintuitive Technique #1
The first step is to accept the situation - you have been broken up with and you need to come to terms with it. You might have to struggle with yourself at first, but acceptance is important.
However, you have to accept the situation. Your ex will need space if they are to start missing you and think about taking you back. Right after the breakup, they are probably upset or angry with you; you need to back off and leave them alone for a while. If you badger them about getting back together, this will probably ruin your chances of a reunion.
Counterintuitive Technique #2
Secondly, you have to cut off all contact. You may think I'm completely off base here; you may even be thinking about leaving this page - just hear me out. This technique really does work! The space helps you and your ex to both step back and get a clear head - and your ex may start missing you in the meantime.
You're also giving your ex time to start missing you and time to think about the breakup. Having this space is good for both of you and will give you a clearer perspective. This space also prepares you for the third step.
Counterintuitive Technique #3
The next step is to engineer an opportunity for you and your ex to reconnect with each other. This is more complicated than it sounds and there are a lot of intermediate steps which you have to follow.
