So, you want to get your ex back. You think enough time has passed and you believe that you are both miserable without each other. Assuming that neither of you started a new relationship with someone else after the break up and you really have your heart set on making another go at your relationship with your ex, here are a few things you may want to keep in mind:

1. What\’s it all about? You need to recognize and acknowledge the reasons behind the original break up in order to not repeat the same mistakes. Just picking up where you left off may work for some but those reunions do not always last very long because the demons of the past that were never dealt with will keep cropping up. Sit down and be honest with one another and get off your chests whatever hang ups you have about the other person.

2. What\’s passed is past. Events that have come and gone, including any past transgressions such as cheating on one another during the relationship or hooking up with someone after the break up, are things you need to get over and not bring up at every single opportunity. The fact that you want to get your ex back means that you are willing to accept him or her, flaws and all, unless you both agree that changes need to be made.

3. Promises are NOT meant to be broken. Who says only married couples exchange vows? When you enter into any relationship, there is the understanding that you are committing yourself to the other person. If you decide to get back together with someone you used to be with, whatever promises you make to one another, i.e. to have open lines of communication, to spend more time together, to be faithful, etc., should not just empty words. These are all commitments you make and should abide by.

4. Change is a good thing. There was obviously something wrong within the relationship that made it falter the first time around. Before you begin demanding for changes from your ex, you need to take a good, long look at yourself and change whatever needs changing with yourself. The negative attributes you had before the break up will only lead to the same results if you choose to pretend that nothing needs changing. Change for the better but do it for yourself and not just for the other person.

5. One day at a time. Take things slow. Rushing back into the arms of an ex may seem like something straight out of a romance novel but reality can sometimes bite and taking your reconciliation one step and one day at a time will help both of you fix whatever needs fixing. Story book endings rarely happen overnight so be patient and work things through thoroughly.

So, you want to get your ex back. Make sure that you are prepared to do the work in order to ensure that love can truly be lovelier the second time around.
