Break-up Advice & Make-up Advice: Keep Your Relationship!
  • scissors

    For most of us, getting over your first love can seem impossible. It’s hard to believe that we can ever really be happy again or that we will ever find someone who ‘gets’ us the same way our love did. The truth is, no matter how hard it is to believe right now, that as humans we are capable of loving many people. We can love very deeply and while we won’t love each person in exactly the same way, we can have more than one ‘true love’ in our lifetimes.

    The most important thing you need to do is get yourself in a position where you will be able to love again, and that will take some time.

    Here are the best steps for making a clean break so that you can move on and find love at some point:

    1. You have to face the fact that your relationship is over. This is unbelievably hard to do. You thought the two of you would be together forever and you can’t imagine that it could really be over. You have to face the fact that it is over and cut off all communication with your ex.

    2. Do not allow yourself to hide away. A few days, or weeks, of wallowing and hiding out is ok, but after that it’s time for you to rejoin the world. That’s not to say that you should start dating, you probably shouldn’t at this point, but you can start spending time with family and friends and not just moping around in your bathrobe for days on end.

    3. Do those things that you weren’t able to do when the two of you were together. In all relationships there are things that one person doesn’t want to do and more often than not the person who does like to do it doesn’t get the chance. Now is the time to revisit those things that you’ve put on hold. Remember the activities and places that once brought you joy and let them bring you joy again.

    4. Take this time to reevaluate who you are and what you want. Make yourself the best ‘you’ you can be. Lose weight, take a class, find a new job, paint your house, it doesn’t matter what it is as long as it will have a positive impact on your life. These types of activities will make you feel a little more in control and will help you grow as a person. They can also give you something to distract yourself from the pain you are feeling, at least for a short time.

    5. This is the hardest one… give yourself time. Whether you believe it or not at this point, some day the pain will fade and just be a memory and when that day comes you will be ready to love again. You have to give yourself the time you need to mourn your lost love and regain your strength. Don’t let others tell you when you should be over it, you will get over it at your pace. However, if you don’t seem to be moving forward even a little after several months you may need to have a counselor help you through the grieving process.

    Getting over your first love will seem like an impossible task. After all, this is the first time you’ve ever felt like this and it’s easy to believe that you could never possible feel this way again, but you can, and if you give yourself time you will.

    Few things in life are as heady, or as frightening, as the prospect of getting back the ‘one that got away’.

    More than likely you’ve spent more than a little time wondering what things would have been like if the two of you had gotten together, or stayed together, all that time ago.

    Getting back together after a long time isn’t as impossible as it may seem, you may even be pleasantly surprised to find out your ex feels the same way too.

    There are no guarantees, and of course, you will have a slightly more challenging time if you and your ex have a history and issues that the two of you have to work through. Things may actually be a little easier if this person is someone who you had feelings for but for one reason or another you never acted on those feelings, at least this way the two of you don’t have a lot of emotional baggage to deal with.

    You don’t have to be nervous that they will reject you, as a matter of fact you don’t need to let them know the true depth of your feelings at all at this point. Simply contact them. Keep things casual and let them know you were thinking about them and you were wondering if they’d like to get together to ‘catch up’. Maybe you’ve recently moved closer to them, or you’ve just found some old pictures that reminded you of them, whatever the reason, you can keep things very casual at this point.

    When the two of you meet, you’ll be able to find out what their situation is, are they single? And if they are available, you’ll be able to see from the way they act towards you if the feelings of love are mutual.

    If, after the first meeting, you have established that you are both available and you both have an interest in reconnecting the next steps will depend on your previous experiences. If the two of you never got together in the past, just take your time and get reacquainted with each other, this time in a romantic way.

    If the two of you have had a past relationship and now you’ve both decided you want to try again, it may be wise for the two of you to have ‘the talk’. No, I don’t mean about sex, I mean about the problems you had in your relationship the first time around. This talk doesn’t have to happen on the first few dates, but if there does seem to be a spark you both have to be careful that you don’t repeat the mistakes of the past and cause yourself, and each other, more pain.

    It’s important that the two of you are mature and honest enough to figure out what went wrong and what steps you will be wiling to take to make things better this time. It’s also important that the two of you are honest about whether or not you can really have a relationship without letting all the hurts and resentments from your first relationship get in the way.

    Sometimes we all need a second chance, we sometimes give up on someone too soon or are afraid to give it a try in the first place. The good news is that with a little luck and a lot of love getting back together after a long time is possible and you may both just find that it’s so much better the second time around!

    Getting back together

    Getting back together

    So your goal is to get back with your ex and you want some free tips on how to get your ex back. The very first thing you need to do is re-evaluate this. You may be putting yourself through some unnecessary drama if this relationship wasn’t meant to be. If, however, you are convinced that there is nothing better that you can be doing than getting your ex back, there are several things that will help you accomplish that.

    1) Don’t get over ambitious. It can be easy to get passionate about getting back together. Nothing wrong with a little passion, but there is such a thing as taking it too far. If you try to force the issue or try to move things too quickly you could end up scaring your ex off.

    2) Regain control of your life. It may seem like things have spun out of control since the break up, but that isn’t going to help you get your ex back. If you want to have a relationship that is more under control, then it needs to have partners in it who are in control of their own life. Not only will this give the relationship a better chance, it will help you look more attractive. People are drawn to confidence and if you are in control of things you will have that confidence.

    3) Avoid the drive-by. You may be incredibly interested in what is going on in their life and you might miss them terribly, but try to avoid driving by their house. This will only help you look obsessed and desperate. You are more likely to get a restraining order than you are to get your ex back.

    4) Give it some time and space. If the relationship just recently ended, allow a cushion in there. If you force yourself back into their life when they want a break from you, any bad feelings that they have towards you will only be amplified. Allow them a chance to miss you and for them to cool down their negative thoughts towards you.

    5) Don’t bother their friends and family. It’s not a bad thing to be concerned or worried about them. It isn’t a bad thing to want to know what they are doing. It is a bad thing to start pestering the ones they care about. If you keep calling them or keep inquiring about your ex, they may get tired of you quickly. Few people want to be a middle man and most people resent being put in that situation. When that happens, they will most likely not have good things to say about you when they talk to your ex.

    There are many other things that you can do that may help you get your ex back. Just make sure that in your efforts you don’t push them further away. The best free tips on how to get your ex back will help you accomplish that.

    When it seems like your story book romance has had an unhappy ending and the one you love has left, you may need some advice for a broken heart. You may not feel like it will ever heal and that the grief you feel is unbearable, but be sure that this is something that will go away. Healing a broken heart can take time and effort on your part, but there are some things that can be done and you can do it turning this sad story of loss and failure into a success story. Here are some advice that will help that happen.

    Give yourself a chance to mourn or be angry. You need a chance to feel the pain of losing the one you love. There is nothing at all wrong with allowing yourself a chance to feel this way. It is part of the way we are built. We are made with emotions that are helpful and by holding them back or ignoring them, you are only doing yourself harm and missing out on the human experience. The thing that you have to do is to limit that time. You can’t spend your life feeling that way, you will have to move on. Give yourself permission to feel this way for a few days, a week, or maybe a little longer and then get about the business of living.

    Let go. If there are some things that you need to forgive yourself for, then do it. Don’t let it hang over your head. If there are some unresolved issues from the past relationship, then you need to address them. If there is an issue of forgiving the one that left, then go ahead and do it. Don’t wait for them to come asking for it because it won’t happen. Just let go of it. You can’t embrace tomorrow if you are too busy holding yesterday.

    Don’t go back. There is no benefit to living in the past. You have today and tomorrow and that is all that matters. If you spend your time dwelling on yesterday you very well could be missing out on opportunities that will make your future much brighter than you ever could have imagined. Today has plenty to offer you. Take advantage of it. Spend each day looking for the good things and let the past stay behind you.

    Take this as an opportunity to improve something about yourself. Use this as a learning experience. Don’t let it be a negative lesson, though. Try to find a positive thing that you can learn. What would you do differently or better if you had it to do all over again? What are some things you wish you had done better? If you had it to do all over again, what would you do differently? What would have made that relationship better? So often we come out of relationships feeling depressed and having taken a hit to our self-esteem. Do things that will help improve self-esteem. Make yourself better.

    A break up is the end of a story in a way, but it is better considered the end of a chapter, not the book. The best advice there is for a broken heart is to take the broken and hurting pieces of your life and concentrate on making the rest of your life’s story a success and give this tragedy a happy ending.

    Ending A Relationship

    Ending A Relationship

    Ever since people starting coupling up, they have been splitting apart. The earliest writings we know of (both secular and religious) talk about how to handle couples breaking up. And even though it has been going on for millennia, dealing with ending a relationship is has not gotten an easier. Hearts get broken, people get hurt, and it can be painful and confusing at the same time. Here are some things for you to consider, to help you navigate a relationship that’s ending.

    The first thing you need to convince yourself of is that the past is the past. It is a common tactic to try to purposely erase the memory of your ex completely from your mind. But, trying to forget it means you are focusing on it. In other words, you are turning the past into the present. By doing that, you can be sure that you are dredging up old, painful memories and that you will feel miserable in the process

    As mentioned it’s not easy, in fact, it can be emotionally wrenching and one of the toughest things to face as you go through life. It may seem impossible now, but you must let things run their course. Give it some time. They say “time heals all wounds”, and though it’s difficult and you feel awful, the saying is true. Keep this in mind as you’re dealing with ending a relationship.

    Another thing you must do is establish firm ground rules, especially if you know there will be situations where you are likely to encounter one another; work is one such example. Your best bet is to keep things as platonic as possible at first. Sure, there were good times, but you don’t want to start talking about them immediately after the break up. You also want to avoid talking about the bad times, or whatever led to the breakup.

    When dealing with ending a relationship, you may want to do your best to avoid your ex, but don’t do this to the point of obsession. If you are trying too hard to avoid them, you are, in reality, giving them more power, and not dealing with your real feelings.

    By the same token, you need to understand that the relationship is over, at least for now. Don’t make the mistake of being overly friendly to show you are “back to normal”. It will only make you look foolish or phony. You may also want to get back together, but you just have to give this some time. If you try jumping back in too quickly, you run a high risk of alienating your ex even further.

    Perhaps you will never get back together, maybe you have no intentions of doing so, but it’s always a good idea to get along with other people. Following the tips above will leave the door open to the possibility of reconciling, or, at the very least, not having your blood boil every time you hear of or see your ex.

    Lost Love

    Lost Love

    Are you missing your partner?

    How to win back lost love is a question we all ask at some point in our lives. The good news is that if you use a good source of material like the “Magic of Making Up”, it is a question you will be able to answer.

    People fall out of love for all sorts of reasons but the funny thing is that it is rarely the big items, like an affair, which causes partners to fall out. It is more likely to happen because they got bored or felt taken for granted, neglected or ignored. Sometimes someone else comes along who has the time to flatter them and before you know it an affair has taken place.

    We can all be guilty of leaving our partners out of our lives. We expect them to put up with whatever we dish out; as they love us right? Well they may love us but if we continually put the world and it’s mother before them they will get fed up of us being selfish and may decide to look elsewhere.

    You have to be sensitive to your partners needs. He or she is entitled to expect to come way up high on your priority list as they are supposed to be the special someone in your life. If your ex has left you to be with someone else you need to understand why. what did this person offer that you didn’t? It could be something as simple as paying her some compliments or attention.

    Women crave certain behavior and if their current partners don’t provide it on a consistent basis, they will look elsewhere. You need to know these secrets to a successful relationship and reading books such as the magic of making up will help you to become a better partner and lover. Sex is a small word but it creates huge problems. Women often withdraw from making love when they are unhappy with another aspect of their relationship. Men see this withdrawal as an insult and often believe their mate just doesn’t fancy them anymore. This can lead them into the arms of another woman.

    There are many reasons why communication between a man and a woman gets tangled up and doesn’t work as well as it should. Our brains are wired differently and we make assumptions based on past feelings and situations rather than just on the situation we are currently faced with.

    We need help when our relationships go wrong but often people are not willing to discuss their relationship with a third party. They fear they may get blamed for things going wrong but that is not the role of the counsellor. Their job is to act as a mediator between the both of you.

    If you are determined to win back lost love, first start with reading the magic of making up and see how soon you can convince your ex partner back into your bed and your life.
