A breakup is unlike a divorce.
 In a divorce, both spouses somehow have to agree on the divorce before they are legally separated.
But in a breakup, a side can simply say "I don't want you any more.
" And regardless of the thoughts of the other, the couple separates.
This means not only stopping a breakup is harder, but also that a breakup can be more devastating than a divorce.
I should know - I have been dumped by the girl I once carried a rose between my teeth to.
I saw our relationship deteriorating but I couldn't do anything.
And then that moment came - the "we need to talk" moment, and I was devastated that she didn't want me any more.
I was so desperate to stop my breakup and get my ex back - but how? In my desperate situation, I was unable to think clearly and all I could think of doing to get my ex back was to beg her, call her, and text message her.
She was already alienated from me and all those forced talks made her even more fed up with me.
 How do you make your ex want you back? I didn't know.
I couldn't even think - I was so devastated, because I loved her so much and I want her back like mad.
If you want to stop your breakup, the best advice I can give to you is that you should seek outside advice.
Whatever you do at the moment is blurred by your sorrow at losing someone you deeply love.
Do not trust your judgments in getting your ex back.
You are reading this article - which means you are already seeking outside advice.
I congratulate you - this puts you well on your way to stop your breakup.
So what can be that outside advice? A friend can be one.
Make sure that your friend understands your situation and doesn't tell you things you want to hear - let him tell you things that he actually thinks, because this is why you exactly need him (or her): To think of things you, in your desperation, cannot.
