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.
To start with, most people make the mistake of acting whiny and needy. They act desperately, but they never realize how unattractive that looks. Acting desperately means that your ex might pity you, but not fall back in love with you.
When your ex starts to pity you, that makes your job ten times harder. It’s not completely unheard of to reconnect with someone who pities you, but it’s definitely a lot more difficult.
I know that its tough not to act that way, especially when you really care about somebody. But you have to look from the outside in. How you present yourself in front of your ex, is the key.
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.
Also, try not to make yourself appear combative. That’s a real problem, and it’s definitely not going to score any points with your ex. It’s most likely to push them in the completely opposite direction. You’ve probably seen an ex-couple fight when you know that at least one of them wants to get back together!
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 there are two words of advice that I would give to someone its be flexible. Forget being stubborn. There is no time for that. The only thing that should matter to you is how to get my ex-back. Having a rigid attitude will never help.
A Break Up – How To Get Over It

How come staying in a happy relationship seem so hard? Every single person that has broken up with somebody must have said that. It seems that we (society) should be better at breaking up than we are. I say this because, the one thought in our mind is “How To get my ex back” but we never think of the right ways in how to do this.
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.
When your ex starts to pity you, that makes your job ten times harder. It’s not completely unheard of to reconnect with someone who pities you, but it’s definitely a lot more difficult.
Clearly, it’s also difficult not to whine and make a fuss, particularly if your emotions are involved. But you need to look at this from the perspective of your ex. He or she won’t be impressed if all you can do is complain and act needy. Present yourself as a secure person instead.
Any emotional outbursts should be done when you are alone. It’s okay to cry and scream, but don’t let your ex see it. There’s no reason for that.
You also don’t want to come off as combative. So many people do this, and I can’t for the life of me, figure out why they do that. It’s completely counter intuitive. How many times have you seen a couple fight with one another and you know that at least one person wants to get back together?
Screaming matches only hurt your case, and they don’t help you provide a constructive framework for resuming the relationship.
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.
