How To Save Your Marriage After a Fiasco

Maybe you’ve been married one year, seven years or twenty two years.  It doesn’t matter.  You’ve now hit a major roadblock in your marriage and you need to learn how to save your marriage.  For many couples it wasn’t just one event that lead to a problematic marriage, but rather many little things that added up.  The minor issues left ignored, turned into real problems later on and down the road.

Don’t worry though many couples reunite even after they get divorced.  Some will begin dating again or just seeing each other casually.  Some stay friends, and end up getting back together later in life.  Some couples, have such a hard time with the back and forth of the kids, the bickering, the sadness, the change in lifestyle for them and their kids, and raising kids as a single parent, that they find themselves wondering if the divorce was really worth it.

Learning how to save your marriage may take some time, but when you think about it, so is the whole divorce procedure, or starting from scratch as a single parent, or being single again.  Etc.  Here are some things to keep in mind, to help you save your marriage and avoid divorce.

If You Have Children

Raising kids can strain on any marriage, however you can raise your children and still time for each other and yourself.  Simply learn the areas involving raising kids so that you can start to work on issues as early as possible.  By the  time they are toddlers and preschoolers they will have learned how to play independently, how not to interrupt when their parents are talking and how to say goodbye without screaming when their parents go out for a while etc.  I cannot tell you the difference these areas can make in the enjoyment of raising kids and on a marriage.

If you have older children, let them know you are having marriage problems and you can even discuss the problem as a family.  This is especially helpful if your children are mature and have valuable insight that you two may not be able to see.

Overcoming Problems

There is no surprise that the way men handle things and the way women handle things is usually very different.  Some repress their feelings while others grieve out loud and don’t hold back.  A man needs to be able to understand women to some degree and the same is true of the reverse.  Take time to go back to the basics and learn about each other.

It is highly advisable that a couple learns what to expect from their partner when problems arise and predict how they will react and behave.  Learning this can help you take care not to make things worse and also help to be prepared for what you will experience when hard times hit.  For example, if you know that when you and your wife argue she a tendency to get very heated up and agitated, then don’t start off the conversation with some smart-alecky comment, or immediately put her in the hot seat.  This will only anger her more.

Commit and Support

Discuss with each that you are going to get through this together.  Be positive, own the decision you have made and know that many couples around the world are in the same position and many couples DO get through it for an even better relationship then before.  Be a team and support each other’s weaknesses.  When one of you is down the other should understand and help with whatever load there is to carry.

Surround Yourself With Friends and Family

Neither of you need to go through this alone.  As mentioned you can get your children to give valuable insight.  Find good friends and family members to give encouragement, love and understanding.  They should be people who have gone through something similar, who are genuine, and not people who will discuss your personal business all around town.

Get Support

It is strongly suggested that counseling be obtained to help the couple get through the tough times and rebuild their relationship, hopefully having learned more about themselves, each other and how to be a first-rate partner.  This is especially true if you have young children.  Regardless of the type of marriage you have, or your religion, marriage counseling is a step that needs to be taken and taken seriously.

Marriage is a sacred bond between people.  Although vows are made, people are not perfect – mistakes happen.  You don’t have to end your marriage or your relationship.  Look at these problems in your marriage as a huge opporunity to grow closer together.  Learning  how to save your marraige after a large problem will help you both to build a stronger foundation in marriage and family, and allow your children feel secure that their parents will stay together.  Good luck.

How To Forgive Your Partner

Learning how to forgive your partner is so important.  This is especially true if you want to get back together.

Forgiveness will allow you to heal, forgive, let go and/or move on if you need to.  Without complete forgiveness, you cannot completely heal.  Your subconscious will always be troubled and all your future relationships may even be affected by your inability to learn how to forgive your partner.  Silently, in the back of your mind, you are still holding anger, and whatever issues caused the break up will likely continue to have an effect on you, your partner and the relationship.

Keep these few points in mind if you are looking to seriously learn how to forgive your partner.

Look At Things Objectively

Often times when we make a mistake that hurts someone we love, it is not intentional but rather a spur of the moment decision in which we were not thinking straight.  This doesn’t make it any better but keep in mind that maybe your partner just wasn’t thinking clearly due to something else that happened that day or something that has been weighing heavily on his mind.  Being pre-occupied and not thinking clearly is a common everyday occurrence that life hands us sometimes.  Put yourself in your partners shoes, people often make mistakes.  If your partner cheated, maybe it’s because someone was lacking in the relationship.

Journal

One of the best ways to reevaluate a relationship problem is to journal.  Journaling about the benefits and what you’ve learn about this experience.  Express your feelings toward the relationship and then toward your partner.  Ask yourself if your relationship is greater than the incident that caused the divide.  Is the incident really worth a break up if you truly feel you have the right person by your side?  If you want to reunite with your ex and rebuild your relationship you have to answer this question honestly.

Put Away Your Pride

Put away your pride and try to understand what your partner did.  And see if you had any part of it.  For example: If your ex ended up having dinner with a woman from his past and didn’t tell you, leaving you wondering about the rest of the night – was he trying to talk to you about his problem and you were constantly not available?  Maybe he felt he needed to talk to someone that would not judge him so harshly and had a better chance of understanding his situation.  Or maybe he just wanted to have female company and chat like in the old days.  If your girlfriend went out with another guy.  Are you too busy for her?  Do you judge and treat your gilfriend o harshly?

Handling an apology

When your partner apologizes do not throw the apology in their face.  Do not turn the apology session into an argument.  More than likely you have already had that argument, now it is time to regain your composure, and even though you may not be ready to forgive at that time, be honest with your feelings and let your partner know how they have hurt you and how it is affecting you.

Safeguard Yourself

One of the most common feelings with forgiveness is that often a person thinks if they forgive it will leave an opening for repeat offenses. Forgiveness is not the same as condoning and you must remember that forgiveness benefits the forgiver more so then the one being forgiven. It is so that you can move on, heal, and learn to trust again.

Safeguard yourself against people in your life who are repeat offenders, as they are usually worth forgiving only once and are not healthy to have in your life anyway.  Trying to forgive and letting go of your anger will enable you to forgive without opening yourself up to further abuse.  It is not necessary to hold a grudge in order to safeguard yourself.

Forgive and Let Go

Forgiveness is literally good for the heart. The Journal of Behavioral Medicine found forgiveness to be associated with lower heart rate, blood pressure and stress relief.  It has also been professionally associated with strengthened spirituality, conflict management and stress relief.  All have a significant impact on overall health. Forgiveness not only restores positive thoughts, feelings and behaviors toward the offending party, but the benefits of forgiveness spill over to positive behaviors toward others because it is associated with volunteerism, donating to charity, and other altruistic behaviors.

We know it is not easy to forgive when our parade has been rained on. But do your best to find the silver lining and gain the wonderful benefits of forgiveness. If you want to reunite with your ex, forgiveness will put things back in place, at which point you both have to fix what is broken that caused the pain, and reach for an even more powerful, firm and fulfilling relationship.

How Do I Call My Ex Girlfriend?

One of the most difficult parts after a break up, especially if you want to get back together, is figuring out when you can call your ex girlfriend.  You may be thinking “how do i call my ex girlfriend properly without her hanging up on me?!”  Or “how do I call my ex girlfriend so that she calls me back next time?”  We’re going to assume that you want to call your ex girlfriend because you want to win her back.

If you want to win your ex girlfriend back, as tough as it may be, the first thing you’ll have to do is cut all ties of communication between you and your ex  yes this means no calling her.  This also means no emailing, text-messaging or seeing her either.  It doesn’t matter if she said she wanted to be friends, or if up until now you were keeping in touch with her.  The quicker you can break contact with your ex, the faster you’ll get her back.  Being friends with your ex is pure fantasy, and only leads to heartache and the pain of having to watch her date other guys.  You’ll also risk the danger of falling so deep into the role as friend that you won’t ever be able to break free of it.  You will be forced to sit back and watch as she goes on with her love life – without you in it.

So for now, totally disappearing from view is important.  There may be times when you can’t avoid seeing her (such as if you’re co-workers, have the same circle of friends, etc…) so you’ll need to be careful to avoid all but the most casual contact. You want to make your ex girlfriend wonder where you went.  You want to appear as if you have vanished almost mysteriously.  This will all help to peak her curiosity and her get to miss you.  She can’t miss you if you’re always in plain sight, so going away for a while will always cause her to think about you.

Look at it from her point of view: she’s seen and heard from you every single day.  Now all of a sudden you’re no where to be seen.  Where did you go?  Have you found someone new? She’ll worry that you’ve totally moved on, and even worse, you did it before she got a chance to.  Over time she’ll even question the break up: maybe you didn’t need her as much as she thought you did?  By doing not contacting your ex, you’ve entered her brain.  You’ll be stuck there in the back of her mind, until she can reconcile where you are and what you’re thinking.  You’ll stay there until she calls you, or your ex sends you an email.  The next time you contact your ex, things will be a lot different than if you’d just hung around and stayed in touch with her every day.

In the meantime, get on with your life.  See friends, pick up old hobbies, and have fun without her.  You’ll be enjoying some time to get your head clear, but you’ll also be giving your ex the opportunity to miss you.  As time goes by she’ll look to reestablish communication with you in some sort of subtle way, just to see what you’re up to.  It might be an innocent email, or maybe something more sneaky like sending a friend of hers to feel you out.  In effect, she wants to know you’re still “around”.  Part of any good relationship safety net is knowing you can always get the person you dumped back, whenever you want. But by going away you’ve taken that away from her.  She doesn’t know what to think, and is suddenly a lot more interested in what you’re doing.

Removing yourself from this position of neediness is one of the biggest steps you can take toward winning your ex back.  After a while without any contact, your ex will start to look at the break up differently.  She’ll be forced to re-examine her feelings for you, and this will cause her to question the break up.  When your ex finally does see of hear from you again she’s going to be thrilled!  Odds are she’ll be missing you at this point big time, so it’ll be a pretty simple move to invite her out for coffee or lunch.  This will be your first major milestone toward getting your ex back, and you’ll need to take it slow.  But it’s the best way to go about getting back together with your girlfriend: making her need and want you instead.

How To Make Your Ex Girlfriend Want You Back

Today we’re going to explain how to make your ex girlfriend want you back.  Learning how to make your girlfriend want you back, isn’t hard as long as you know the proper protocol to follow.

Getting dumped by your girlfriend puts you in a very weird and awkward position. You want her back, but you’re not supposed to talk to her.  Here’s someone you’ve been speaking to and seeing just about every day, and now you can’t go within arm’s length of her without being labeled a stalker. Weird, eh?  So how can you get back your ex girlfriend if you’ve got all these invisible rules and regulations to follow?

Winning back your ex is all about patience, timing, and knowing what NOT to do. Most guys fail miserably in the first few days following a break up, making all the same rookie mistakes that send their ex screaming in the other direction. Sending flowers, telling her that you love her, accidentally bumping into her at her favourite bar…etc.  All those things will destroy your chances faster than you can make that first desperate phone call. Contacting your ex girlfriend after she dumps you is actually one of the worst things you can possibly do if you want to win her back.

How To Make Your Ex Girlfriend Want You Back Rule # 1 – Accept the fact that you’re single again. Staying in denial about your breakup reeks of desperation, and your ex will smell it all over you. You need to let go of her first in order to get her back, and to do that you have to acknowledge that your relationship is completely over. You’ll miss her, want her, and need to talk to her… but the best thing you can do is turn off your computer, throw your phone over your shoulder, and head go to a friend house and watch a movie.  Clearing your head and breaking all contact with your ex should be your number one and two priorities right now.

How To Make Your Ex Girlfriend Want You Back Rule # 1 – Eliminate contact. Worried that she’s waiting for your call? Feel like if you don’t talk to her she’ll slip away from you? Stop yourself and shake these thoughts from your head. Understand that there’s no quick fix for any relationship in which the girl dumped you. Fixing things between you and your ex will take time, and during that time you’ll need to avoid making bonehead moves. Keep telling yourself that you’ll eventually get your ex back, and believe that you will. Everything you’re going to do from here on out should be in line with a single goal: making your ex want you again.

Think about it: you’re there for her whenever she wants, always in plain sight. Think your ex misses you? Hell no. Which is why dropping out of sight is such a great way to get back in her head. You need to reverse the way you think, and more importantly, feel right now. The less she sees of you the better. When she thinks you’re still around she has no incentive to reverse the break up. Your ex will continue exploring single life for as long as she’s comfortable and seeing you begging to take you back makes her very comfortable.

How To Make Your Ex Girlfriend Want You Back Rule # 13 – Get Into Her Head. Temporarily cutting the lines of communication makes your ex wonder if you’ve moved on, and this is a good thing. No contact ex girlfriend etiquette also dictates you’ll need to ignore her own calls or messages. This might be really hard to do but look at it this way, if she’s calling you, she’s already very curious. Ignoring her calls will quickly make her worried that you’ve already found someone else that’s replaced her!  Confusing and scaring your ex out of her comfort zone will cause her to reconsider the fact that she ended things. For the first time since she let you go, she’s got to consider losing you for good – as both a friend and a lover.

Winning back your ex is always about making her need you more than you need her. To put her in this mindset, you cannot give away your hand. No matter how much you love her and want to talk to her again, by letting things go silent for a while you’re doing yourself a tremendous justice. You’re also increasing the chances that you’ll get back together with your exgirlfriend by ten times more than you would if you kept contact with her.

How To Tell If Your Girlfriend Wants You Back

Are you trying to win back your ex girlfriend but you’re not even sure if your girlfriend wants you back?  Before you can fix your break up, you’ll need to know how to identify the signs that your ex wants you back.  The following guidelines can be used to recognize the signs and signals that your girlfriend wants you back.

When your girlfriend wants you back she will give off several different signals.  She’ll use words, body language, and other ways to give you the green light that she’s ready to get back together.  By knowing how to identify these changes in the way she sees you, you can work with them.  This is one of the key ways to win back an ex girlfriend.  Below are some of the most obvious signs that your girlfriend wants you back:

Your Girlfriend Wants You Back If… She Stays In Touch - If your girlfriend broke up with you and decided it was over, she’d be out of your life pretty quickly. But if your ex is still in constant contact with you and actually calling or emailing you on her own, that’s a big sign.  Whether she’s calling you on the phone, talking face to face, or even sending you a text message or two, these are indications she’s still interested in you as more than a friend.  And if she’s hiding this communication from friends, or a new boyfriend?  It’s an even bigger sign.

Your Girlfriend Wants You Back If… She Goes Out Of Her Way To See You – Physically seeing an ex after you’ve broken up is always a strong indication that one or both of you still aren’t over the relationship. If your ex is meeting you for quick visits, a cup off coffee, or maybe even lunch or dinner, chances are she’s trying to tell you something. She may not tell you that she wants to get back together, but watch her body language for signs.  Openly flirting with you, touching you and doing things that she used to do when you were together are great signs. She’s leaving the door to the relationship open, in case she wants to reverse the break up.  Make her comfortable when she does show up, by keeping your conversation happy, light, casual and fun.  Over time, she’ll open up even further emotionally.

Your Girlfriend Wants You Back If…She Asks About Your Love Life (or Tells You About Hers) – This a huge indication that your ex girlfriend may want you back.  Even though she broke up with you, she wants to know that you’re still available if she wants you back.  Your ex doesn’t want you moving on if she’s still attracted to you!  In fact, no woman wants her exboyfriend to begin dating another girl… at least until she’s moved on herself.  So if your ex asks about your own situation?  It’s a really good sign.  And if she starts telling you she doesn’t have a boyfriend of her own, she’s putting out feelers to see if you’re still interested.

Your Girlfriend Wants You Back If…She Changes The Way She Acts Toward You – This is one of the final stages, post-breakup, that your girlfriend wants you back. Remember when she first broke up with you, and treated everything she said and did with you very carefully?  If suddenly she’s emotionally close again, she wants to reconnect.  Once your exgirlfriend begins coming onto you again with affection, compliments, and all kinds of other attention, it’s a big sign that she wants you back.  Something has probably changed her mind. As she gets flirty, flirt back with her. Let her take it wherever she wants, and follow her lead.

How To Get Your Girlfriend Back From Her New Boyfriend

Were you trying to get your girlfriend back from the break up, but now she’s dating someone else? While things might look hopeless at this point, we can help you to get her back. You can get your girlfriend back from her new boyfriends from some proven and effective strategies that you should implement immediately.

Don’t be discouraged. Keep in mind that your girlfriend is probably on the rebound. If she moved on before fully getting over you, it might be easier to get your girlfriend back from her new boyfriend than you think. To get back together with your ex, you’ll need to get her to want you again. The process of winning her from someone else takes a lot of patience, but if you’re in it for the long haul there are some definite moves that will put her back into your arms.

So how do you get your ex back when she’s with another man? You concentrate on the following things, in the following order:

Let Her New Relationship Happen – The first step is also the one most guys get stuck on: don’t resist the rebound. When your ex first starts dating a new guy, everything in her life will be completely awesome. There’s absolutely nothing you can do, and certainly nothing you can say to convince her otherwise: she’s not going to leave her new boyfriend during the honeymoon stages of her new relationship.

In actuality, the more you try to resist her new relationship the tougher it will be to get her back. You can’t fight against something you can’t beat. As hard as it may be, you’ve got to man up and take it. Wait it out, bide your time, and know that sometime in the future she’s going to dump this guy and get back together with you. You’ll just have to give her new relationship a cooling off period.

Accept Your Breakup… And Her New Boyfriend – When your girlfriend begins dating again, she’s going to watch you carefully for a reaction. She’ll expect jealousy, and she’ll expect you to try and talk her out of seeing this new guy. How you take this news is actually one of the most important aspects of winning her back. Fighting her new relationship will do a lot of damage to your chances of dating her again, and she’ll feel vindicated if you’re unhappy that she’s moved on.

Instead, smile and wish your exgirlfriend the best. By showing no jealousy, your ex is going to be amazed. She’s expecting to see you upset and bitter, because she wants to think that losing her should have a negative impact on you. She’ll also expect you to talk her out of dating anyone else. By doing none of these things, you’ve totally confused her. You’re reacting exactly the opposite of what she thought you would – she was prepared for a fight and got no resistance. Turning your ex around is easy: you do the reverse of whatever she’s expecting.

Don’t Say a Single Bad Thing About Her New Man - I know you probably want nothing more than to punch the new boyfriend in the face, but don’t say one bad thing about her new man.  Your next move involves establishing trust and friendship with your exgirlfriend again, and there’s no way you can do that if you’re bashing her new boyfriend.  You want her to trust and confide in you, which won’t happen if you’re constantly urging her to drop him.  You don’t have to sing his praises, but you do have to stay neutral.  Let her talk about him, bad or good.  By being her sounding board, she’ll start to feel comfortable talking around you about anything and everything.

Establish Trust, Then Take a Step Back – Once you and your ex begin communicating again, you’ll be privy to a lot of juicy information. Store it away for later on; you’ll need it during the phase where you can transition from friendship back to romance. For now, get her to trust you and then take a few steps back. By slowly removing yourself from her life again, she’ll start wondering where you’re going. Just as she’s beginning to depend on you again (this time at a friendship level) you’re launching a life of your own – one without her in it. This will panic her a bit, because she was just getting used to having you around.

This is the point at which your ex has to face losing you, maybe even for good. Up until now she hasn’t had to consider this: she’s had the best of both worlds. But now, you’re slipping away… and she’s left alone with her new boyfriend, in a relationship that the glow has finally worn off of. Your goal here should be making her choose between keeping you in her life or staying together with her new boyfriend. Who’s the safer and more comfortable choice? That all depends on how well you did, up until this point. But one big thing you’ve got going for you? Your long history together. Use it to your advantage… it’s something you’ve got that the other guy doesn’t.

5 Things Not To Do To Get Your Ex Boyfriend To Want You Back

If your ex broke up with you, getting him back can often be hard. But while it’s a tricky process, there are always ways to fix a break up and to get your ex boyfriend to want you back… no matter what the circumstances might be. Winning back your boyfriend is all about making the correct moves, but even more critical is to avoiding making the wrong ones. The list below shows the most common errors girls can make that will cause your man to run in the opposite direction.

The steps to get your ex boyfriend to want you back aren’t so much about the things you do, but more about the actions that you don’t do.  It is important to calculate your every move after a break up if you are looking to get your ex boyfriend to want you back.  You need to watch everything you say or do, especially in the beginning when your ex is watching you closely for a reaction.  Here is our list of 5 things you should never do if you want to get your ex boyfriend to want you back.

1. Overly Contacting Your Ex – After being dumped, one of the biggest mistakes women make is trying to keep in touch with their ex. Although he might’ve told you he wants to remain friends, you shouldn’t be contacting your ex in any way, shape or form. Dropping out of his sight is the best way to let him know you’ve accepted the breakup, and disappearing from his view is a fantastic way to get him interested again. The more you’re not there, the more your ex will also start to miss you. Remember the golden rule: when a man breaks up with you, he’s looking for your reaction to the end of the relationship. Give him none, and he’ll suddenly be very interested in why you aren’t chasing him.
2. Telling Him How Much You Love Him – Once your ex ends things, you’ll suddenly begin realizing exactly what you had. As you lament losing your boyfriend, this will cause you to want to tell him how much you really do love and need him. You’ll feel the urge to call your ex and tell him all those little things you’ve always had a hard time saying before – yet now they’re crystal clear. You’ll convince yourself that if you can only let him know these things, he’ll come running back to you. Yet in all honesty, this never happens. Just after your ex breaks up with you is the absolute worst time to be spilling your guts like this. Save it for later on, when you and your ex are getting back together again – you can tell him you love him then. Until then? Write it down on a note, fold it up, and tuck it away for a later date. Trying to tell him now is only going to be too little, too late.
3. Crying and Begging For Your Ex To Take You Back – You can’t guilt your ex into coming back to you. These types of behaviors might give you a temporary shoulder to cry on, but in the long run you look nothing but totally desperate. Don’t do this to yourself, or to any future relationship you might have with this guy. Crying and begging will always cause your ex to lose respect for you, and on top of that you’re heaping a ton of unwanted guilt on his shoulders. He’ll feel awkward around you, and will avoid you as much as possible. It’s better to make a clean break, because it gives you the chance to move forward and (eventually) work toward building a new relationship with your ex.
4. Threatening Your Ex With Ultimatums – Never give your ex ultimatums and make any demands of him.  The things you say while angry and upset will come back to haunt you later on, and will only serve to make you look stupid. You’ve been dumped; you’re in no position to be making any demands of your ex.  Ultimatums and deadlines designed to scare your ex into getting back together with you won’t work.  Avoid this behavior at all costs, so you can maintain whatever respect your exboyfriend still has for you. You’ll need it later on, when you’re working toward getting your ex back.
5. Getting Your Friends to Harass and/or Speak to Him – After ending things, some of the last people your ex wants to run into are your friends. Your ex will feel strange and awkward around them, and if he suspects you sent them to feel him out on the subject of your break up, he’s going to totally resent you for it. It’ll make things weird between you, him, and your friends too – something that won’t be too cool when you finally do end up getting your ex back. Don’t ever involve a third party when trying to reverse your break up… it leads only to miscommunication and problems. Nothing good ever comes out of it.

5 Things Not To Do To Piss Off An Ex Girlfriend

Breaking up is hard enough, but if you’re trying to win back an ex girlfriend you’ve got an added responsibility i.e. not piss her off.  Not only do you have to make the right opening moves, but you also need to know how to avoid the wrong ones. One big mistake could cost you any chance of reconciliation with your girlfriend.  If you’re looking to get your ex girlfriend back, the following is a list of errors to avoid at all costs if you don’t want to piss off your ex girlfriend.

Fixing a break up requires patience and strategy. To successfully get back together with your ex girlfriend, it’s both of what you do and don’t do that matters.  Making critical mistakes during the break up can cause your ex to see you completely differently than she once did (and not in a good way).  Below you’ll find the most common blunders guys make just after their girlfriend dumps them:

Ex Girlfriend Piss Off #1 Crying Over the Relationship - Weakness is always bad, especially when you’re trying to get your ex to want you again. Women always like men who are strong and confident… not men who are weak, begging, or groveling for their relationship back. No girl wants to get back together with a sobbing, crying mess of an ex-boyfriend. Vulnerability might be cute in a girl, but never in a guy. Therefore, you can never show your ex just how much the break up is upsetting you. Seeing you like this will only justify the end of the relationship in her mind.

Ex Girlfriend Piss Off #2 Promising Change – Hopefully you’d never ask someone to change for you, so no one should be asking you either. Promising to your ex that you’ll change your ways is always a big mistake. Even if she were to take you back based on that promise, you could never fulfill it. On top of that, you’d be changing into something other than what she wants. Chances are your ex fell in love with you for who you are. Try to think back to the beginning of your relationship, and if anything, change your behaviors back to the person you were then. But trying to fit into the mold of what your ex “wants” in a boyfriend will never work. Even by attempting to do this, you’re letting her walk all over you.

Ex Girlfriend Piss Off #3 Excessively Contacting Your Ex – After she breaks up with you, there’s actually no reason to be contacting her at all. Not until you’ve stepped back, dropped out of sight, and given your ex a chance to miss you. Try to remember that nothing you can say or do – not through email, text-message, on the phone, (or even Twitter!) will ever convince your ex that she should take you back. In fact, your ex won’t date you until she emotionally misses and wants you again. You can accomplish this by adhering to the old adage: “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. Not by bombarding her with phone calls, emails, or by contacting your exgirlfriend twenty times a day.

Ex Girlfriend Piss Off #4 Making Demands or Giving Ultimatums – Trying to control your ex while you’re dating is a really bad move. Trying to do it after she breaks up with you? Even worse. Not only are you in no position to be making any requests from her, but once your deadline comes and goes you’re going to look very stupid. You cannot follow through on any threats or demands you make of an ex that ended your relationship. If you want to win back your girlfriend, you’ll keep your cool.

Ex Girlfriend Piss Off #5 Sleeping Around and Rebounding To Make Her Jealous - After the hurt of being dumped wears off, many guys try to numb the pain by jumping back into an old girlfriend’s or another woman’s bed.  This might work for a night or two, but once you realize you still love your exgirlfriend it’s usually too late.  You’ve just done something that, if it gets back to your ex, will cause irreparable damage to any new relationship the two of you might build together.  When you get back with your ex girlfriend she’s always going to remember and resent you for what you did, and it’s something you can never undo. Trying to make your ex jealous by hooking up with another girl is a bad idea also. Just don’t do it.
