When a relationship suddenly becomes a breakup, you're going to have a few natural reactions...that's ok so long as you DON'T FOLLOW THEM! A lot of the things you'd instinctively do are wrong! The things you may think would help, will sometimes hurt you really badly! If you want to get your ex back, you're going to have to work very carefully, and I can help you out with that.

A lot of the things that may seem like second nature to you in such an upsetting event are really not going to help you out very much. Really, more than anything your natural reactions will severely hurt your chances of getting back together with your ex...and obviously that's a little counter-productive. Here are the biggest thinsg that should be considered "no-no's."

1) Rushing immediately to try to convince your ex to take you back. This is a classic blunder that we've almost all fallen into. Sometimes it doesn't kill you, but usually it's a really bad idea. If your ex JUST broke up with you, he or she is probably still MAD at you...and does NOT want to talk to you right now. Best thing to do is to give BOTH of you some space from each other and back off a bit till things have cooled off.

2) Thinking that it's your ex's fault. If you got dumped, the problem's with you. I know that sounds harsh and you probably hate me right now, but keep reading. Chalk this breakup up to a learning experience, and use it to figure out what you're doing wrong...and FIX it! So you have some issues to work out, work them out! A soulcrushing breakup can be the best thing to happen to you in your life, if only you use it as fuel to give yourself a needed renovation.

3) Letting all your hard work go to waste by just dropping right back into your old destructive habits once the relationship has been mended. If you don't sustain the changes you make to get your ex back, you're not going to be able to keep him/her again. If the same problems exist, the same result will happen...and third chances are harder to come by than second ones.

4) Taking things too quickly. The first item on the list is a perfect example of this. A breakup is a fragile time for everyone involved, and trying to rush things at a pace that nobody's really ready for is going to cripple your efforts and probably make them backfire. Take things slowly, one step at a time. If you're reckless, you'll be alone...but if you're careful, you have a real shot at getting your ex back.

There are more than just these four items that you should be careful of, but this is a good start. Most of this stuff is really common sense, but not everything comes naturally and easily. Things that may at first seem like a good idea, or like the only idea, aren't always the best idea. Just remember to think all things through with a calm mind. This is too important to risk on poor judgement.

Always keep in an accessible corner of your mind the fact that you are NOT the only person hurting at this time. Your ex is probably just as injured as you, especially if he/she really loves you. Taking things too quickly or too aggressively is a good way to ruin your chances at getting your ex back. However, if you're smart about this and you keep the pace manageable, you have a really good chance at getting him/her back...so go for it!
