Chances are I'm not telling you anything you don't already know here, but when your partner decides it's time to end the relationship, it can really hit you hard. Don't worry though, because even when it seems like the world is coming apart at the seams, there's still a chance to put it back together. You can learn how to get your ex back, and I can help you!

The best advice I can give you, the main thing you need to really focus on right now, is that you CANNOT let your sadness and depression take control of you. It's okay to feel like you do right now, a breakup really hurts, but don't let it stop you from finding that firm resolve to get up and do something about it.

Making that attitude adjustment is absolutely essential to your success in getting your ex back, and simply coming to that decision is half the battle. After you find within yourself the motivation and drive to turn your life back around, all you have ahead of you is a step-by-step process that's worked for a lot of people.

Even if you've been broken up for a little while already and this advice comes a little late, it's still important: avoid swamping your ex with attempts to get back together. Your ex is hurting too, and bombarding him/her with pleas and demands is just going to make things go even further south.

Even if you've already made the mistake of pressuring your ex into getting back together, back off now. Give your ex some space...and you could use it too. The time you're not spending chasing back after your ex could be much better spent by doing some self-work. I know that "self-work" is an ugly word that most people don't like, but it's important if you really want to get your ex back.

I'd say there's a 95% chance that if your partner broke up with you, the problem is SOMETHING to do with you. People don't just end happy relationships that fulfill their needs, and usually the catalyst that makes the person decide to end it is some sort of behavior or fault of the partner. It may not even be a BIG thing, but there's something not quite right with your half of the relationship.

I can't figure out what the source of your problems is for you, but you really do need to if you're going to have a chance of getting your ex back. It could be anything or any number of things, from simple frustrating behaviors to more serious relationship issues. Whatever it is, you need to accept that you need to change it, and really DO change it. Stopping the source of your problems is the only way to make them stop happening.

After you've done all this and are well on your way to having your problems resolved (I know it's a long and hard process, self-change is never easy), enough time will likely have passed that you can go ahead and contact your ex again. REMEMBER! Keep it light and simple! An email or phone call seeing how your ex is doing is about as heavy as it needs to be! Being too forward or aggressive will only drive your ex further away.

If the first contact was received without too much hassle, you can work on slowly rebuilding contact with your ex. This is a somewhat prolonged process that takes a while, but it's what works. What you need to do is let your ex see how much you've been working on and are continuing to work on yourself, without flatly telling him/her. Let your ex see it for him/herself.

When you reach the point that you're hanging out a fair amount, it's a really good idea to make sure that the things you do together are things you used to really enjoy doing as a couple and that have great memories associated with them. The new and improved you coupled with fond memories have a really good chance of making your ex wonder if perhaps it may not have been the best idea to leave you.

Chances are good that you two will get back together, and if that happens I couldn't be more happy for you. Congratulations, but remember that it's not just a downhill coast from here. You have to make sure the changes you made to yourself to get your ex back have to stay made, and if you go back to how it was before it'll probably end like it did before...and there are only so many times your ex will be willing to risk the same heartache.

Remember always that this method is designed to be almost entirely passive, and focuses on addressing the root problems of the relationship (or at least the ones you can do something about) and stopping the trouble at its source. Let things work at your ex's pace, and it's really preferable that he/she sees the work you've done and that getting back together is his/her idea rather than yours. Never get too aggressive, or all you've been working for will be lost.
