How To Successfully Get Back With Your Ex After a Breakup

Breakups are never fun, especially when you are the one getting dumped. But sometimes it isn’t that easy to let go. Getting back together with your ex isn’t as uncommon as it might seem. A study by Science Daily in 2015 found that almost 50% of couples gave their relationship another go after ending it. While they didn’t go into details about how many of these relationships stayed intact, it would be surprising if more than 25% succeeded.

Getting back with an ex brings with it all sorts of problems and issues that require both of you to work through all your baggage. Depending on how your relationship ended the first time around also impacts how your new love will blossom. There are several things you can do to make sure the relationship is a success, and we have detailed the major points below so you can reconnect with your ex and have a happy relationship.

1. Work on Yourself

Before you even think about getting back with your ex, make sure you have worked on yourself. Prioritize your mental and emotional health over everything. Take the time after the break up to work on aspects of your personality that need improvement. If the relationship ended because of something you did or the way you acted, it is on you to make a change. There is no way your ex will get back with you if you are still the same as before.

If the relationship ended because of your ex, you have to be in the right headspace to want to give them another chance. You have to be at peace with whatever they did and be able to put your energy into making the new relationship work.

2. Give Each Other Space

No matter if it has been a few days or a few weeks, you need time to digest the break up and everything that went wrong and why. Take as much time as you need to work through things and give each other plenty of space.
