When you break up with a partner it can feel like your whole world has collapsed.
The feeling of heartbreak is a horrible thing and it takes a long time to get over.
Everyone goes through it at various points in their life but you feel completely isolated.
Many people try and rekindle an old romance and are surprised when they only make the situation worse.
Sometimes it can damage a relationship even worse than before.
But it is possible to get back with an ex if you are clever about things.
Most people call and text message their ex and try to beg to get back together.
This approach only makes the situation worse and the best you can hope for is that your ex feels sorry for you and temporarily makes up.
This is never going to last long term though.
To actually get back with your ex and make the relationship stronger you should not act desperate and allow each other some space.
Try to figure out what the reason for the break up really was.
Often your partner will try to cushion the blow by giving an excuse why you cannot be together.
Try to think what was going wrong really.
Chances are there have been problems for a while if you think about it.
Doing this will make your ex have more respect for you and give you some space that was probably needed.
You cannot just lose the emotions overnight so there is a high chance you will be able to build on this and repair the problems.
