It’s terrifying being on your own again when you have been in a relationship for some time. With all the anger and despair you may be feeling, it is easy to be in a panic mode from this unwanted breakup. All you want to do is go back and change things. However, when you want to make things right, sometimes the things you say can make things even worse. All you want to do is get your ex back. If this is how you feel, then there are 4 things you should never do.

(1) Show Affection

Did you know that showing affection now may be the worst thing you can do especially right after a breakup? Why is this so? Time needs to pass for your ex to miss you. During this time, you need to come up with some kind of idea that can help you get your ex back. If you give your ex some cooling off time without speaking to them (should it be rude not to speak to them, then talk to them), then chances are it is likely you can work your way back into their lives.

(2) Show Fear

If you should find out your ex is dating someone, this could actually work in your favor. You should never worry about the person she/he is dating because nearly all relationships started on a rebound from another relationship never last. It may be wise for you to start going out with friends again. What ends up happening is he/she will think about those good times you shared and all those bad memories and feelings tend to fade.

(3) Show Life

If you want to get your ex back, one of the best ways to do it is show you are going on very well with your life. Most people want to sit back, listen to sappy songs and cry when they have been dumped. However, you should keep active and stay communal. The sooner you do this, the better. Even if everything you are portraying is a lie, as long as your ex hears that you have moved on with your life, he/she may seek out the reason for your happiness. Moving on with your life usually raises an exes’ curiosity.

(4) No Lies

Do not believe that your ex is the only one to live your life for. There are many chances to meet someone you deserve. If it is unlikely that your ex-mate and you will get back together, you can take what you learned in this relationship and put it with another. That doesn’t mean you cannot try to get back your ex back. Just know that if it doesn’t work out, you won’t be lonely forever.

These ideas are only the beginning ways to get your ex back but it is not the "end all, be all" to relationship make-ups. Avoid making crucial mistakes that will turn him/her off.
