If you are looking to get back together with your ex-boyfriend, then there are a few things you ought to know before you try. It is possible to have a successful relationship with an ex, but only if you are both prepared to work at it.

It may take a while for the two of you to feel comfortable enough to talk again, but when you reach that stage, the first thing you need to do is apologise. Whether you feel you did anything wrong or not, a heartfelt apology will go a long way towards getting the two of you back together.

It would be good for the two of you to talk about your relationship and what went wrong, as this can help you to address any issues you may have. However, you will need to remain calm and rational throughout, and not allow yourself to get drawn into an argument.

It is important that you do not tell him you miss him and still love him - if he is at all unsure about getting back together, then this is only going to succeed in pushing him further away. Instead, let him make the first move and suggest that the two of you should give the relationship another try. This may take some time, so don't become disheartened if you have had several conversations and the topic has not yet come up.

While you are waiting for him to contact you, after the break up, be patient. It is not going to be easy for him to admit he was wrong and that he wants you back in his life. Give him the time he needs, and don't call him during the first few weeks after the relationship has ended. Calling will push him away, when you should be acting like the mature adult you are, and giving him space. You may then find he starts to miss you, and wants you back.

It is definitely not impossible to have a relationship with your ex, and trying these tips should help you to get back together with him. If you are certain that he is the one for you, then whatever you do, don't give up. A break up does not mean that you will not get back together in the future, after all. You will just need to be patient and let him know exactly what it is that he is missing.
