Who knows why people split; Incompatible, some cheat, some don't feel as the other feels for them, family, money, time, the reasons go one into infamy.
Every couple has its problems and some are just too big for one or both persons to ignore.
But even though you are left on the receiving end of a heartbreak sandwich, that doesn't mean you can't get your ex back.
First you need to know exactly why you broke up.
It will be difficult but you need to listen to your partner when he/she tells you the bad news.
If they are leaving you for another, you really need to determine if you even want to try and salvage the relationship in the first place.
If they are leaving you because you are a "Sloppy Joe" and they don't want to have to live in a pig sty, then you may have a chance of getting them back.
I think most people would be surprised to discover how easy it could be to get their ex back, but it is going to take some work.
One or both parties will have to make some changes if they really want to prove to the other that they are ready for a committed relationship.
Once you know why you broke up, you need to ask yourself if the other person is worth changing for.
Perhaps you need to change your spending/saving habits.
Maybe you need to pick up the bill for dinner more often.
Maybe you need to make supper for her and buy her flowers more than once a year on a certain shorted-month's 14th.
Maybe the spark has gone out of your relationship and they just don't feel the passion that they once felt.
Whatever the reason, you need to ask yourself if that person is worth changing for and then you need to work towards the change.
It may be hard; if you are willing to change for this person, say, going to the gym to lose those 30 extra pounds you packed on while with her, you need to be around to show them the changes you are making.
Standing up and throwing a mug of beer at them while storming off, probably, is not the best route of action to take.
If the break up was rough on both of you, you need to be willing to apologize for your actions and admit that you are willing to back their decision.
Either way, you need to be around to answer their calls or invite them and their friends to the party down the block.
Wear clothes that were bought for you, wear scents and perfumes that they purchased just for you.
Be the person they fell for in the first place.
Be around.
It could be hard, but it is possible to get your ex to come back to you.
The hardest part is being ready for the hard fact that they may not want to take you back or get back together.
Sometimes people just lose that passion.
It is not your fault, and you need to be ready to accept this fact and move on.
