It does sound absolutely ridiculous, but to make sure that you get your ex back after the break up, the "No Contact Rule" is the only way you are gong to succeed.
This rule is almost self-explanatory - no contact at all, until you both have had time to cool off after the break up.
It will be difficult for you, and will more than likely be difficult for your ex as well, but you both really need to get rid of all the anger that you feel towards each other first.
If you make any attempt to speak to each other right now, arguments are inevitable because you just won't be able to feel relaxed when you are with each other at this stage.
The "No Contact Rule" will see to it that you both have time to think things over and pinpoint the problems you have.
Also, you will have time to decide just how you are going to fix those problems that caused you to break up as well.
The really positive thing about not seeing each other for a while is that, not only will the bad feelings disappear, but the love you feel for each other will return in a big way.
When this happens, you'll start to miss each other - just a little at first, and then it will get stronger and stronger, until you just can't stand it anymore, and will contact one another and talk about getting back together again.
This is when the "No Contact Rule" really proves itself! You will be missing each other like crazy, and will want to see each other as soon as possible.
Of course, NOW is the right time to talk about your problems.
You are both so happy to see each other, and will be more than willing to get those problems sorted out so that you DON'T break up again.
So, as you can see, the "No Contact Rule" might sound ridiculous, but it is absolutely marvelous when it comes to getting you and your ex back together again, and your relationship back on track.
