As long as I was in a beautiful relationship, the world seemed such a beautiful place.
However, then came the storm that ravaged everything; our break up.
Suddenly, how sordid the whole world looked like! One has to experience it to believe it.
Thank God! I did not get blown away by the storm.
In spite of what had happened I loved my partner.
Though I was shattered, I kept my cool and continued my efforts for a rapprochement.
And I am proud to say that I finally succeeded in my efforts; that my then ex is now my husband, and we are a happy and supportive family.
I want to share with you how I made it possible so that you too, if you are in a similar situation, may take advantage of my experience to get your ex back.
I will not lie.
Getting my ex back was not really easy.
It took a lot of soul searching and quite an amount of time before he and I fully committed to make it work out.
However, in retrospect, the fundamental thing was really simple: rediscovering our love for each other, finding out once again that we really could not live without each other.
Let me tell you how I did it.
Both he and I had committed certain mistakes that are by no means uncommon in relationships.
I had an emotional need to be around him, but it had become too much and he was not getting his own personal space.
He was getting smothered but I had no inkling of it.
People often make such mistakes; they may be smothering each other by encroaching too much on each other's personal spaces and they wouldn't even know it.
If the partner is not able to talk about it and work it out, the relationship is certainly going to enter a rough patch.
The most important thing in my efforts to get my ex back was keeping the communication lines open.
I made use of every opportunity to encourage him to talk and listened to him carefully while at the same time expressing my own thoughts and feelings too.
Soon, he was not pushing or hurting me anymore and I was able to draw back and relax.
Moreover, I was finding new interests and creating a space of my own, independent of him.
And now that I was not that desirous of being around him, he started realizing that he wanted to be around me.
And slowly, I could see that I was going to get him back.
If you are impressed by my story and would like to follow the lines, wait.
I did not tell you one crucial thing; that, when we were living apart, we took care to behave civilly and politely with each other- no name calling, no such other ugly forms of venting anger.
So, it you have broken up recently and want to get your ex back, remember to act in a way both of you would be proud of; futile anger and name calling won't gain you anything.
During the time of separation, both of us dated other people.
But we always kept it in mind that those people were not a part of that relationship which we had.
Since we had broken up, we were not cheating each other, only exploring where we stood and where we needed to go from there.
As it happened, we returned to each other and have been successfully married for the last twelve years now; and those people whom we saw during the period of separation are nothing but distant memories.
If you too have broken up with your ex but want him to return to you, follow the steps I took; you have all the best wishes from me for a successful and happy reunion.
