It may not sound like something you'd expect to be a successful strategy for getting your ex back, but it works really well to cut off all contact with your ex for about a month after the breakup. This has a number of good reasons behind it, and here are just a few.
1) Being in each others' faces right after a breakup is bound to cause some friction. When emotions are flaring up and everything is out of control, it's easy to say the wrong things and make it much harder to recover from this. Cutting off contact with your ex gives you time to cool down, and serves as a kind of damage control to keep you from accidentally making things worse.
By the time the month is over, everyone's temper should have cooled off, and some real thinking to have started. A calmer head and a willingness to work on things is far more likely, and far more beneficial to the process of fixing your relationship and getting back together.
2) Friction aside, being too much together after a breakup can also make it feel like nothing's changed because of the breakup. Even if things are peaceful between you, still being together all the time cuts out a lot of the impact of being "separated." Your ex won't see the need to get back together, because he probably won't get the full feeling that you ever really broke up.
You don't know what you have until it's gone, and you can't miss it if it's still there. Neither can your ex! By forcing him to live without you for a month, completely without you, he has to come to terms with the consequences of his decision. Often, the reality of being completely without you will soften him up to the idea of a second try.
3) Another benefit of being apart is that you have some time without pressure to organize a plan and figure out exactly what you need to do to get him back. Without him right up in your face, it's easier to think and make decisions based on what your reasoning tells you, and not what your heart forces you to do.
People in this situation can act really oddly, and to get the results you want you may not be able to just naturally come to the right choices. You have to have a plan, or you're shooting in the dark and will probably end up hitting yourself in the foot. This freedom of time and space will let you reason out a plan that will actually work, rather than just doing whatever feels right (since it's often actually the wrong idea).
So there you go. 3 reasons why it's really beneficial to start out your breakup with a true clean break. No contact means no contact...no phone calls, no text messages, no email...nothing. This can really help you out, and I recommend it to everyone just fresh out of a relationship if you want to get your life together and get your ex back.
