As you make the decision to get back together with your ex, doing the following will help you understand your breakup and what would need to be done to return to a healthy relationship.
1. Spend time apart.
In most situations, it makes sense to take some time and think things through. I recommend that you follow the no contact rule for a few weeks or months before making the decision to return.
The no contact rule essentially states that you should refrain from contacting your ex so that you can both heal from the breakup and grow individually. If you still have feelings for your ex after that and want to try reconciliation, you can choose to contact your ex.
2. Make sure you don’t make the decision out of desperation or fear of losing your ex.
Grieving a breakup can cause a lot of stress. Breakup grief can have stages such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Each stage can occur at different times and can last depending on the person.
While it may be overwhelming, it is important to remember that it is a natural process and healing takes time. Seeking support from loved ones or a mental health professional can be helpful in coping with the difficult emotions associated with a breakup.
3. Spend time with friends and family.
One of the most important things you can do after a breakup is spend quality time with your friends and family. It’s a great way to avoid feeling lonely and recover from the breakup. By spending time with your loved ones, you know that they love you and that you are not alone.
4. Ask your friends and family about your relationship.
While you are in a relationship, your friends and family try to sugarcoat their opinion of your partner and your relationship. But after a breakup, all of that cancels out. If you ask them their honest opinion about your ex and what you were like in the relationship, you will get a really honest opinion.

Listen carefully to their opinion. They may not be relationship experts, but they do know you and can give you a good idea of what you were like during the relationship. Just because you and your ex can fix what was broken in your relationship doesn’t necessarily mean you should try to get back together. Getting your ex back can take a lot of time and energy on your part.
And in the end, doing all that work may not really be worth it. For all you know, you might fix what was broken in the relationship only to realize that you and your ex just aren’t that good together. You need to find out if your relationship with your ex has good potential to be an amazing relationship. The type of relationship you deserve.
5. Think about the reasons for the breakup and whether they could be solved.
You’ve probably heard the saying that your ex is your ex for a reason. Unless you understand that reason and can fix it, getting back together with your ex won’t work. Now I’ll tell you some common reasons for breakups.
– I’m not ready to commit to a relationship.
– Need and insecurity push your partner away.
– Neglecting the relationship makes your ex lose attraction towards you.
– Infidelity or betrayal of trust.
– Lack of trust causes extreme stress in the relationship.
– External interferences such as parents, family or friends.
– Communication problems, arguments and fights.
– Differences in values, beliefs or life goals.
– Inability to manage stress, conflict or challenges in the relationship.
– Lack of emotional intimacy or physical attraction.
– Be separated due to distance, time or changing circumstances.
– Financial problems or disagreements about money management.
– Mental health problems or substance abuse problems.

Understanding the real reason for the breakup is important if you want to ensure you get your ex back for the right reasons. If you feel desperate to get your ex back or if you feel lonely, you can try to convince yourself that things can be easily fixed.
But it’s important to try to get a realistic perspective on what needs to be done to make the relationship work. Sometimes the solution to the problem can be relatively simple (although it still requires effort, time, and perspective).
– Whether the breakup is due to a communication problem, an argument, or the heat of the moment, simply talking about it openly and honestly can help solve the problem.
– If long distance was the cause of the breakup, then getting a job in the same city can solve most of the problems that led to the breakup.
– If one or both of you neglected the relationship, then simply creating a schedule to spend quality time together and putting in extra effort should fix things.
– The inability to manage stress or conflict in a relationship can be solved by learning stress management tactics, communicating effectively, and creating a system that works for both of you.
