Have you been broken up for awhile, but still think of your ex-girlfriend? If that's true, you're not alone.
Whether or not this means you should get back together depends on several factors.
First of all, are you the one who did the breaking up? Perhaps you now realize they had something truly special they took for granted.
If so, that's not such a bad thing.
And in some cases, you may be able to resurrect the relationship.
However, if you still think of your ex-girlfriend and she broke up with you, then the dynamic is a little bit different.
You can spend some time figuring out why the breakup happened.
If the breakup was truly your fault, you may be able to change her behavior and get her to consider you as your boyfriend once again.
If she broke up with you because she wanted to move on herself but you did not do anything to cause this, then it may very well be that the relationship ending was the best thing that could happen to you.
If you still think of your ex-girlfriend and you would like to get back together with her, AND you're the one who caused the breakup, there are several things you'll need to do before you consider getting back together once again.
First of all, you're going to have to change any bad behaviors that made her break up with you.
Conversely, if you took her for granted and broke up with her in hopes that you were going to find "something better" and you now realize that that was not possible, you're going to have to change and begin to appreciate her.
No relationship works unless each partner appreciates the other.
Part of this appreciation includes changing any truly bad habits you have that your partner finds irritating.
Of course, the reverse is also true and your partner should be willing to change any bad habits she has, too.
For example, if you expected your girlfriend to wait on you hand and foot, or to do all the housework while you simply sat and watched football, that's going to have to change.
You're going to have to show her that you care and are willing to put your best effort into the relationship.
That includes taking care of some things yourself and showing her some TLC, too.
If you're not the one that caused the breakup and you have nothing to apologize for, take heart.
Perhaps this means it was simply meant to be that you broke up so that you could find someone who would truly appreciate you for you.
After all, this is exactly what you deserve.
