Going through a breakup is hard, that's pretty much universally-known. What's NOT as well-known is that it really doesn't have to be, considering you can put an end to all the breakup pain by following a few simple steps to get your ex back. Sound good? Keep reading!

There may really be a lot involved in getting back your ex, but I've come up with a way to break it down into a few "chunks" that make it a bit easier to swallow. Some chunks are kinda big, but if you really stick to it, you can get your life back on track easier than you think.

Step 1: Your first impulse directly after the breakup is usually to plague your ex with what I call the "take me back -attack." This is a BAD IDEA. Your ex will NOT want to talk to you right now, it's still too painful. Give the poor person some space, and frankly you could use it too.

Step 2: While the two of you are "on-break" and not talking, take advantage of the time you have to yourself to really work on yourself. Figure out any flaws you had or mistakes you made that really contributed to the breakup. Whether the list is long or short, there WILL be one...if there wasn't, there wouldn't be a breakup. Once you've identified the problems, get to work fixing them! It's a difficult process, but it's extremely important that you never make the same mistakes again.

Step 3: Once you've had sufficient time to recover from the breakup and really get yourself back into order, you can go ahead and contact your ex. Do so lightly at first, and keep away from aggressive relationship talk. Just give him/her a phone call or email asking how they've been doing. It's light, it makes contact, and it serves as a good starting point for slightly escalating contacts.

Step 4: The odds aren't bad that if you played your first contacts well, the two of you will start spending some time together again. At this point, it's a good idea to do things with your ex that you both used to really enjoy doing as a couple. This brings up happy memories and could help to turn back on your ex's feelings for you. Also take this time to let the work you've been doing on yourself to speak for itself.

Step 5: It's not sure-fire that your ex will want to get back together, but the chances are pretty good...and if you two DO give it another try, it's critical that you not screw up now. So you got your ex back...now KEEP him/her! Don't make the same mistakes again, and try to avoid any new ones too! This could be your last chance!

You'll have a lot of sacrifice and compromise in any relationship, it's just what's necessary for two people to share something so close. It's important to keep from messing up and doing the same mistakes you already made that cost you your first relationship, because next time there may not be any chance to make things right.
