To re-establish an intimate relationship after a hasty but messy break-up requires courage as well as humility on your side so that you can honestly assess the possibilities of winning back an ex-partner who probably is as hurt as you are. Find out if both still keep a hoard of affection needed in undergoing the healing process together. The former partner must be as willing as you are to hold dialogues and to discuss, without ranting, issues that frayed your bond. You’ve got to make sure therefore that both of you are still on the same wavelength.
To begin, express your feelings in a long passionate letter that you might need to deliver personally. Take time to sit down and put in writing all the life-affirming events while you were still a couple. Don’t just wax empty nostalgia but employ objectivity in listing down the positive effects that made you grow within the relationship with the ex-beau. Written words will detail the mistakes and the wrong moves that you made in that relationship. Be humble enough to apologize in writing for the hurtful things that you did. Be humble enough to acknowledge what hurt you and do try to express forgiveness. Then implore in writing for a second chance, beg for the space where you both can try to make things right for once. If straightforward sentences are not your cup of tea, try poetry or hip-hop song. You can even be boldly humorous, if that becomes your personal style.
Next, arrange for a date, a time to be together and to sense if the instinctual connection between you, no matter how slim, still holds. Get to a memorable place where you first met, where you had your first kiss or had your first dinner.
Try to take some time to talk while spending this time together, don’t be afraid to have fun. If your ex really wants you back, this is a good way to find out because the moments of fun will consume them and remind them of the good times you two are capable of having together. This will open their mind to the thought of being with you again.
Another step in this process is to do something for your ex. If you’re a good cook, fix a romantic supper and invite them over. If you’re crafty, make them a gift from your heart. You can even buy them something you know they’ve been wanting for a long time. This way they’ll know that you’re still thinking of them and that you still care about them. Assuming they still have feelings for you as well, this gesture should make them reconsider reviving the relationship.
Keep communication clear between the both of you. Let them know what you want from them, and tell them what you’re willing to do for them to get the relationship back. Your ex will be able to know if you are sincere and this will grab them and bring them back to you.
This is the courtship plot all over again. The chief aim is a renewed commitment to each other. Be open to possible changes in the shape of your relationship. It might not be the same rituals allover again as you will get rid of what did not work out well in the past. Hopefully, in the end, your former beloved will be convinced that the relationship merits a second try, acknowledging the strength of the bond you build together through the years.
