Stop Communicating With Him
After a break up one of the worst things you can do is constantly contact your ex boyfriend. Doing so will only push him further and further away. So the first thing you need to do is stop communicating with him. And when I say stop communicating, I mean no text messages, no emails and no phone calls.
The two of you need some space to think. And it is very difficult to think if you are constantly in contact with each other. But be very careful with this tip. You don't want to cut off communication for too long. Especially if he has been trying to contact you. For the first few weeks you should ignore him. But after that you should gradually welcome communication. However, don't overdo it. Take your time and let things progress naturally.
Get Honest With Yourself
This is a very important step. When a relationship ends there is a reason for that happening. That means its time to look at the man, or woman in this case, in the mirror. What areas do you need to improve on? Are you a horrible listener? Do have trouble communicating? The best thing you can do is take this time apart to work on bettering yourself. And you need to ask yourself do you really want him back?
Is he really who you want to be with or are you just letting your emotions get the best of you. Have a real and very honest conversation with yourself. Doing so will help you make the best decision and not one based on your emotions.
Have A Plan & Know What You Are Going To Say
Just like you would prepare for a job interview, you should also prepare for the words you will say when you get back in contact with your ex. The first conversation you have with your ex boyfriend will determine the direction the two of you will go. So it's a very crucial point in time. Never cry or beg him to come back. You are better than that. And no one likes a desperate person.
The one thing you should remember is he probably still cares for you greatly. There are just some things that were pushing him away. So you need to be able to listen to what he has to say and no be defensive. If he starts to open up, you need to know how to deal with that. You have to make sure your emotions are in check before you have a conversation with him. Otherwise you will end up getting in your own way.
