Making Amends with an Ex
When a relationship ends, it is normally a difficult time for both parties concerned, but especially heart breaking for someone who is still in love with the other person and wasn’t the one who ended it. The whole process can leave you feeling devastated and unable to face life. If you’re certain that you want to get back into a relationship with someone, then it is important to distinguish between the right and wrong ways to go about it.
The first thing to consider is your current state of mind. A break up will have an effect on your behavior and may make you start to behave irrationally. This is not good. Acting like this will no doubt send the other person signals that they did the right thing and push them away even further. You need to be sure of your actions and be sure that you are emotionally stable before making any attempt to get them back into your life.
The quicker you start to get over the shock of the break-up and get on with your life, the quicker you will be in a position to try to make amends with the person. By taking a break from them and pre-occupying yourself with something to make you feel better about yourself, then you will speed up this process.
It might be a great time for a change of scenery too. Getting away for a brief trip somewhere will start to clear your head. Exercise is another great idea as it is known to relieve tension and release endorphin chemicals that can lift you out of your present low.
Your ex will also probably be in an emotionally unstable state, and they also need time to calm down and to start to forget whatever it was that caused the break-up.
Once you feel that you are thinking clearly and can start to analyze what went wrong, it’s a good idea to think about why it all happened and how things could have been different. It’s too easy to place the blame elsewhere, on the other person. You should try to think about your actions and what you could have done differently to stop the break-up. Remember, their actions, however bad they were, may have been different if you had acted differently yourself.
After you are certain that you are in the right frame of mind to approach the other person, you should try to do it confidently, but also check that your partner is in the right state of mind as well. It is well worth being able to communicate about what you have thought about and let them know that you want to start again, but for the relationship to be different to what it was before. It will be encouraging to the other person if they can clearly see that you wish to apologize and clearly change your behavior that caused the break-up.
