Every single relationship is different. There’s not a single guide in this world that can magically help you get your ex back, mine included. I wasn’t watching every moment of your entire relationship, neither was anyone else. Only you know the answers as to what went wrong. It’s the cold hard truth, and being a man means being able to accept that.

Even your guy friends, regardless of how close to you they are, can’t help you there. Talk to them for hours if you wish, they will never be the woman you dated. In reality, if you want your ex back it’s going to require one thing: Communication. It’s what helps both men and woman understand what they failed to change about themselves or their habits.

Just like all relationships we have to make sacrifices from time to time, some of which we aren’t able to realize at first. The truth is, even the smallest of habits we see as no big deal, such as leaving a toilet seat down can drive a woman to want to run out the door. She might not speak up about it, however, perhaps she still feels strongly about it. Remember, not every single thing is going to be crystal clear, let alone make sense to us.

Sure, things like having an affair are more apparent once out in the open too. However, let’s face it, people break up for a wide range of reasons. If you can’t figure out why, you need to ask her. Not your brother, mother, friends, co-workers, etc.

Now, before you get set on getting your ex girlfriend back, stop for a second here first and clear your mind. There are a handful of truly important things all men need to consider.

1. Ending A Relationship Does More Than Just Separate Two People Apart From Each Other.
