To get back with your ex after you’ve made mistakes, means you’re no doubt going to have to face some hard home truths!
As sure as eggs are eggs, making mistakes in relationships means you have to fix them and apologize for those mistakes before there can be any making up.
When you try to patch things up with your ex, you’ll need to acknowledge the reason why the relationship broke down in the first place and of course you’ll also need to face up to what your part was in the breakdown.
If you made mistakes then don’t beat yourself up for that. We all make them, it’s what you do after the mistake that’s important.
So sit down on your own and take some time to go through what happened and what were the issues that led up to what happened. Don’t concern yourself too much with what you see as your ex’s mistakes, leave that for the future. Only concern yourself right now with what you can influence.
Whatever mistakes you find in your past behavior, can they be forgiven? Don’t be too eager to get down on yourself and believe that your mistakes are basically unforgivable.
Remember, there is always hope their respective of how bad you feel your mistakes were. In fact, you’d be amazed at some of the circumstances which couples find themselves in at times and yet recover from them in the end.
Try and pin point what was happening in your life at the time that led you to make the mistakes, especially if it was completely out of character for you. Remember what I said about facing hard truths, if you want to get back with ex, then you need to do this.
You might discover that you were under certain stresses and strains. Perhaps you were under threat at your job? Or you weren’t physically feeling yourself? Or perhaps there were other family issues. Whatever you find when you look back at what happened, you will eventually need to sit down with your ex and explain in detail just what you have found.
If your mistakes were the result of you just being thoughtless or selfish, then this is something about you and your character that can quite easily be fixed. It will take ongoing monitoring but if you are sincerely committed to get back with ex, then it is going to be worthwhile.
Once you’re satisfied that you have a clear understanding with regards to your mistakes and why you made them, then you should consider contacting your ex to arrange a meeting. For your sake as well as her, you should choose to meet each other in a public area where there are lots of people as this will discourage both of you from becoming emotional.
When you do meet, you need to do what ever you must in order to remain calm and focused on what needs to be said. When the opportunity arises go ahead and apologize and ask her to forgive you. Once you’re done then of course you need to listen carefully while your ex lets you know what’s on her mind.
