The temptation to make things right again can be overwhelming - but - are you being realistic here and is it really the best thing for both of you.
There are 2 or 3 important things to consider before rushing back into the relationship, especially if you want it to last Getting back together just to break up again is not ideal and just prolongs the hurt and upset.
You are going to have to be a bit brave here and have the courage to do the work necessary to ensure a long lasting and successful reunion.
1.
The first thing you should look at is what caused the break up and can it really be repaired? If it is a serious problem, like drink, drugs or violence, you really need to make sure the break up is permanent.
If it was a series of little irritations adding up to a major out burst, there is a much better chance of making-up and having it last.
Is it just a matter of saying "sorry" or is it much more involved than that? It is important to sort these things out in your own mind before you attempt any kind of reconciliation.
You have to be clear in yourself about the type of relationship you want and what you need to be happy.
Remember you cannot change you ex and you need to be realistic about whether you want to change yourself 2.
The second aspect to look at is the general health of the relationship before the breakup occurred.
Where you generally happy and madly in love, and did you have fun together? Do you have mutual friends and interests? Or did you have frequent arguments and disagreements? Be honest with yourself here because these are the problems that will continue to occur if the underling cause is not resolved.
A relationship cannot be built on wishful thinking and "hoping' it will just work out is a recipe for further unhappiness 3.
The third thing to consider is how you see the long term future of the relationship.
Do you see yourself with this person for the rest of your life or can't you see past the immediate future? It is really worth you while to think about these things before you try getting back with your ex if you want to spare yourself further heartbreak and unhappiness.
