How to Make Contact With Your Ex
At some point on the journey to get your ex back you will need to have contact with your ex. That contact will need to be positive and move things in the right direction. The danger is, it’s all to easy to get it wrong when contacting your ex. The wrong time, the wrong way, the wrong words…
The articles below focus on how to make contact with your ex, and how to make it boost rather than ruin your chances of getting back with your ex!
Does No Contact Work to Get Your Ex Back?
Holding back and resisting the temptation to call or text your ex is a key strategy to get your ex back. The question is does it work – does no contact work to get your ex back?
The answer is yes and no.
On the “Yes” side, having no contact with your ex for a certain amount of time will give your ex space and time to figure out what they really feel about you, and life without you.
In particular, to discover (perhaps to their surprise) how much they miss you as good memories resurface and problems to fall into perspective.
Keep the Lines of Communication Open With Your Ex
Contact with your ex – how much and when - is a tricky issue that needs to be handled carefully if you are going to succeed at getting back with your ex.
In looking for advice about communication with your ex, you’ve probably already learned that the recommended course of action is to have no contact with your ex at all. But when you are anxious to get your ex back and take steps towards making it a reality, it’s advice that’s difficult to take. In practice, the situation is no so black-and-white. You must also keep the lines of communication open with your ex.
When Should You Contact Your Ex?
Many aspects of getting back with an ex can test your patience. Waiting for the right time to contact your ex is one of them! The big question is, when should you contact your ex - how long should you wait? It’s a good question. How long you wait could improve or ruin your chances of getting back with your ex.
Contact your ex too soon and you risk several things:
Firstly, rejection. The closer the time is to your break up, the more likely it is that your ex is still feeling a potent mix of strong and perhaps conflicting emotions - anger, resentment, sadness, regret - or are not sure how they really feel.
Meeting With Your Ex
To get your ex back, at some point you will need to arrange a meeting with your ex and talk about your relationship. Perhaps you already see each other in passing, and feel nervous and awkward. This has to change. It is important that you get your act together before you meet with your ex.
