If you have recently gone through a break up but now have a strong desire to recommit to the relationship, you may be wondering how you can get back together with your ex. It is common to want immediate results, but it is far better to take a deep breath and develop a plan of action.

It’s perfectly normal to feel a little emotionally confused and wondering what you should do next. First of all, what you should not do is make numerous phone calls to your ex begging and pleading for his/her return. This ulimately errodes the situataion further and makes it more difficult to get your ex back. No one wants to feel like someone is suffocating them. Right now the best thing you can possibly do is exactly the thing you least likely feel like doing. Do you find yourself wanting to call and message your ex? Don’t do it! Do you feel like crawling under a rock and shutting the whole world out? Don’t do it! Recommitting to an old relationship is a big decision that should not be handled lightly. The following keys are critical in helping you decide if you will be able to make things work with your ex and make it down the path of renewing your relationship.

  1. Accept the Facts. Once a breakup has taken place, stress and tension between the couple is not at all uncommon. Both of you need the time and space to move on. It’s critical to show that you understand the breakup and are okay with things for the time being. Although you likely don’t feel this way, it takes the pressure off your ex and allows him or her to see the relationship from a fresh point of view. It also should allow you to look at different alternatives that you may have available to you. If taking time off makes you miss each other more, then obviously you were meant to get back together.
  2. Cut Off Communication. Getting in touch with your ex takes away the necessary time to think that is needed by the two of you. By stopping the communication with your ex, you essentially show him that things are ok with you. Spending time apart may enhance the possibility of recommitting when your ex has time to reflect on the value of your relationship. Separation is the best time to realize just how important you are to each other.
  3. Make Plans to Get Back Together. There will come a time when it becomes important to plan a meeting time and place for further discussion. Once you’ve had a little bit of time to work through things, you both have to sit down and make the decision if the relationship is worth it to you and if love should triumph. A long-lasting relationship takes a deep devoted commitment from both individuals involved in the relationship.
