After breaking up with someone you love, there are a lot of painful emotions:  sadness, depression, and simply just missing that special someone.  “What should I do to get my ex back?” becomes a question you constantly ask yourself.

There are many websites, books, blogs, forums and even courses designed to answer that question, but a little common sense and courtesy can really make a difference and go a long way towards healing your relationship.  If you’re preoccupied with your lost relationship and wondering “what should I do to get my ex back?” then following this simple advice could be the best chance of getting back together.

DON’T PLAY GAMES

This is very important, but unfortunately many people resort to this during breakups because it gives them a sense of power.  If you can make the other person think that you don’t care, or you care more than you really do, you’re manipulating them and that can feel great, but not for long.  Eventually you’ll realize that lying and tricking the other person is nothing more than child’s play and anything good that happens because of it will always be sullied because of the lie.

Some people play games where they pretend to be dating or in love with someone else.  While this ploy to make your ex jealous may work for a short time, it generally backfires and ensures the breakup is permanent.  Your ex could be so jealous at the thought of you being with someone else that they want you back or they may decide that since you moved on so quickly you didn’t really care about them anyway and you’re not worth the effort.  You have no way of knowing which way this ploy will work until it’s too late.

DON’T BE MEAN

This holds true in any situation or relationship, but sometimes the anger and hurt we feel after a breakup can cause us to be more cruel than we normally would.  Even if you’re hurt, the fact that you want to know, ‘What should I do to get my ex back?” shows that you’re ready to forgive that person, but if you have been nasty to your ex, he/she may not be so quick to forgive you.

CONSIDER YOUR ACTIONS

Now, think about your own behavior.  If you were your ex, would you look forward to spending time or talking with you?  Or would you dread those moments?  Do you shout and nag?  Even if you feel like raising all kinds of arguments, simply don’t.  Work very hard at controlling your anger and hurt, and being a person they can miss.
