Do You Want Your Ex Back? Don"t Try the "Let"s Be Friends" Ploy!

You want your ex back.
Maybe for you, that is a given.
You are willing to try anything, and I mean anything to get your ex back.
You might be entertaining the idea that a way back into your ex's heart is through becoming his or her friend.
Read on, for why this is a mistake for a couple of different reasons.
Could you really see yourself being happy for your ex if or when he or she decides to move on? Or begins dating someone else? A friend could support your ex in these decisions.
Since you have shared an intimate relationship, it is unlikely that you could be very supportive or happy about these decisions your ex may make.
In other words, you are simply opening yourself up to more heartache.
And surely, at this point you do not need any more of that! Take heart, in that, most new relationships after a break-up are rebound.
Your ex is searching for a fast replacement to his or her own pain.
The good news for you is that, rebound relationships rarely last.
By not involving yourself in this spectacle you will be saving yourself a great deal of emotional trauma.
Spare yourself! Even if your ex tries the 'let's be friends' routine.
Refuse! You won't regret your decision! Involve yourself in the world around you.
'Pretend it, 'till you feel it,' an old friend of mine used to say.
I know you don't feel like doing much of anything.
Sitting around and waiting for your ex to make a decision, or forcing him or her into renewing a relationship, are not healthy alternatives.
After all, you really do not want to entrap someone into staying with you? Relationships built on these kinds of maneuvers do not last.
You want this break up to be the last one in your experience! You are hurting right now and you need to acknowledge that.
You need to take some time for yourself and figure out what went wrong in this relationship.
Right now, whether you reunite with your ex is unimportant.
You must take this opportunity to discover why this relationship ended the way it did.
This does not mean that you must abandon all hope of getting your ex back! This simply means you have the opportunity to discover how to make your next relationship stronger, healthier, and better for you both!
