I Want My Ex Back - Even If I Have to Crawl Over Shards of Broken Glass to Win Her Back
She’s gone and you really miss her. You miss the good times you had. You miss the way she looked in your t-shirt and boxers, and the taste of her on your tongue. Even though the two of you broke up, you’re pretty sure it was a huge mistake. In fact, you’d do just about anything to please your girl and get her back - even crawl on your hands and knees over a mile of broken glass. Take heart, friend; you probably don’t need to go to such extremes to regain the love of your life.
You do, however, have to be smart about your next steps. Don’t do anything ridiculous or permanent. Take a little time to examine your relationship and understand your ex-girlfriend’s reasons for leaving. Knowing her reasons for leaving should give you some ideas about what would make her reconsider her decision.
Perhaps the communication between the two of you was less than great. Learning to express yourself more clearly is a skill you can certainly work on. Never underestimate the importance of honest and thoughtful communication. Without it, unspoken resentments can build up and destroy the loving feelings that one partner has for the other.
Sometimes it’s a matter of taking responsibility for your own screw-ups. Everyone makes mistakes. Accepting ownership of your actions and words - and apologizing if need be - is a sign of maturity, not weakness. Denying or covering up your errors will not fool anyone, especially someone who cares about you and wants to be close to you.
When you’ve gained some insight into your failed relationship, it’s time to come up with a plan. What can you do that will give you the best chance at rekindling the affection and passion that once sparked between you and your ex? The most sensible idea is to find a strategy that has worked for other guys in your situation. You won’t need dramatic gestures or painful sacrifices to win your ex back - just a sincere desire to make things work.
