Anyone who has suffered a relationship breakup with their boyfriend or girlfriend wants to know how to deal with a break up and many are hoping that they may be able to get back with their ex.  Getting over a break up is very painful and will take time.  First, you need to do a bit of honest, realistic thinking.  Ask yourself a few searching questions, like:

a)  Will getting back together make me happy?

b)  Is the reason why we broke up no longer valid?

c)  Were there more good times than bad times?

d)  Are we both mentally stable?

e)  Was there no verbal or physical abuse?

Naturally, we’re looking for an overall, “Yes,” in response to these questions.  If you’re answering in the negative, then perhaps breaking up is right for you and it’s time to look elsewhere and concentrate your efforts on getting on with your life. 

So, how are you going to deal with the break up?  Are the things that you want to do and the things that you should do, the same?  Probably not.  Here’s a few, ‘Do’s’ and ‘Don’ts’ that will help you to deal with the breakup and, at the same time, lay the initial foundations of getting back together with your ex boyfriend.  To be sure of making up with your ex, you will need to follow a step-by-step plan, but these initial tips should help.

1.  Don’t pester your ex boyfriend.  Don’t visit, write, ‘phone, e-mail or grill his friends or family.  He’s rejected you, so give him space to be without you.  If you won’t leave him alone, you’ll give him the impression that you don’t understand that you’ve broken up.  It makes you look either desperate, or not very bright.  Either way, it does neither of you any good.  Your ex will be irritated and you’ll simply be pushing him further away.

2.  Never beg him to take you back.  After all, if he’s made the decision to breakup with you, which is never easy, why should he go back on it, just because you plead?  You’re appealing to his senses of guilt and pity.  Neither is a good basis for the future.  You need to keep your self-respect.

3.  Accept that it’s over, even if it’s only over for the moment, and look to the future.   Give yourself time to grieve and get on with your life.  By all means examine what went wrong; learn from the experience, but don’t let it take over your life.  You’ve had a terrible shock.  Take time and face up to the consequences.

4.  Get on with your life.  Show him that you can get on without him.  You will come over as a strong, individual personality (which is always attractive) and it’ll do you good to be busy and sociable.

In essence, how to deal with a break up and getting over a break up involves putting some distance between you and your ex, look to the future and get on with your life.  You will become a more attractive person and you’ll feel better about yourself and consequently have more confidence.  As a result, you will project a more positive outlook and all these things are extremely attractive to the opposite sex. 

You may find that your ex starts to appreciate what he has lost and starts to pursue you.  At this point, many things can go wrong if you make a mistake.  Therefore, you need expert advice and should read The Magic of Making Up information on getting back with your ex boyfriend.  You might also find our review of Magic’s step-by-step plan useful and be sure to watch the video at the end entitled ‘The Opening Move’.
