You and your partner have split up. You've thought about the situation and concluded that a big mistake has been made. You and your ex are made for each other. You are going to get your ex back.

Because you feel so strongly about the rightness of your relationship you may be tempted to immediately contact your ex. You want to phone your ex at home or at work. You want to show up in a place where you know he or she is likely to be. You want to initiate contact and then force your ex to listen to reason.

But this is a critical time. If you try to talk to your ex now, so soon after the break up, you could put an end to this relationship forever. It will be difficult for you but you must have patience, you have to wait.

There Is A Reason For The Split

There is a reason, or more than one, that you and ex have parted ways. This may all seem like a mistake to you but if you contact your ex now and demand to be heard you will only make the situation worse.

Difficult as it may be, you have to wait.

Only you can decide how long to wait before making contact with your ex. The circumstances of the break up can help you make the best decision.

If the problems that caused the split were long simmering, wait longer. If there was shouting, recriminations, anger at the time of the split, wait even longer.

Carefully consider how long the cooling off period should be before you initiate contact. When you have decided on a period of time that you think is appropriate, think again, and then double it.

While You Wait, Look To Yourself

This waiting period is not lost time. Use this time to look at your own foibles and engage in some self-improvement.

Don't beat up on yourself but do look at the role you played in the break up. You need to understand your own faults and mistakes. When the time is right and you are talking to your ex about reunion you have to be able to say that you are aware of these problems and are really trying to make corrections.

To get your ex back you will need to practice self control and patience. You will need to able to look critically at yourself and be willing to make improvements. This may be difficult but if the two of you are meant to be together all your efforts will be well rewarded.
