Lovers have a strong, yet fragile bond that connects them. Love must constantly be tended and nourished to grow strong. If bad emotions run strong, that bond can be forgotten and allowed to weaken. If it gets weak enough, one of the people will become dissatisfied with the relationship and leave. There is a balance between self and other that must be maintained for a relationship to grow and stay strong. If you want to grow the relationship again, then you have options that will help. Read every word of this article to find out how.
Keep Contact to a Minimum
Keeping contact to a minimum may seem to run counter to rebuilding your broken relationship. It is a very important step. Things have gotten bad enough that you have broken up. At least one of you needs a break from the relationship. Cutting off communication gives you and them time to take that break. It allows both of you time to think about and reflect upon the relationship. You have time to evaluate your relations. It gives your ex and you time to clear your heads. It may be that some time apart will make your ex realize just how important your relationship is.
If they should contact you, keep the conversation short and to the point. If they start begging or pleading with you, make an excuse and hang up. You don’t need this right now. Same thing if you run into them on the street. Keep the conversation cordial and short. Don’t let it get into the relationship topics at this time.
Keep up a Good Attitude
A good attitude speaks louder than words. A broken relationship needs strong medicine to cure it. A good attitude is that strong medicine. Keep your self respect. Don’t go pleading or begging your ex to return. This is not a good way to get them to return to a healthy relationship anyway. A lot of times it even backfires and pushes your ex further away. You will feel like crying and yelling. That is a normal reaction. But keep the yelling and crying in your own home.
Stay Resilient
You need to remain true to yourself and flexible with your ex and yourself. Do not start bossing them around. Don’t issue mandates. You can not scare someone back into a meaningful relationship. If you can, then it means that the relationship was probably not having in the first place. You have to remain sympathetic and be a good listener at this point in the relationship. Don’t just jump in and offer solutions to their problems. You should not make demands on them, and should not give into their demands. Communicate, don’t give orders.
Friends and Opportunities
Now is not a time to be by yourself, all alone. Hang out with friends. Get out of the house. This would be a good time to do something you always wanted to do. Develop new forms of entertainment. Take a class at the gym or local community college. Always wanted to learn something new, now is the time. This is not really the time to date (making your ex jealous is not a good strategy). You need to learn to occupy your time. You need to do self inspection and learn who you are as a single person again. You also need new experiences to make new stories. Now, when you decide to contact your ex, you will have new stories to tell.
Return to Yourself
Why were you two attracted in the first place? It was because of the unique people that each one of your are. You might have tried to change to fit in better, but that is not who your ex was attracted to in the first place. You need to return to the unique special person that your are. You can forget about your individuality in a relationship, placing it ahead of you all the time. You can forget what attracted your ex to you in the first place. Learn to accept that you are a special unique individual person. Nobody else is quite like you. Everybody around you will notice the return of your self confidence.
