The old song says, "love is a many splendid thing" but there have been and will always be plenty of musicians who can describe with painstaking accuracy the pain of love and the hurt you feel when it is lost.
Breaking up with your ex and wanting them back fall into the latter category.
You have never felt that way about someone before or since.
The connection you felt toward you ex was in your opinion nothing short of magical.
Maybe it was.
No one can fully explain or understand the power of love and romance.
It can be intoxicating to the point of all consuming if you are not careful.
When it comes to getting your ex back you can only do so much to influence their decision.
The only thing you can control is your emotions.
And a lot of that depends strictly on your mindset.
At this point after the break up it's easy to start telling yourself there never was nor will there ever be anyone that special in your life.
This can lead you to become way too desperate when attempting to get your ex back.
You will say anything and do anything all the while promising them the moon and the stars if only they will consent to get back together with you.
It happens.
People with reputations for being calm and level headed have been known to go completely overboard in the quest to reconnect with their ex.
Step back and take a deep breath.
Do what you can to get your ex back without crowding them and prepare yourself either way for their decision.
You hope that they make the right choice (i.
e get back with you) but if not you want to be more than ready to get on with your life.
