Escape Regret – A Strong Reason To Consider Trying To Get Your Ex Back

Dear Candice,

Been going out with my boyfriend for a year and broke up with him last week. I am not sure why I did this. We were both being crappy and fighting. I immediately regretted my decision. What shall I do? – Nikki

Dear Nikki,

I have heard so many stories about going through a break up only to regret at a later time for not trying to save the relationship, sad tale it is. When you break up with someone and later regret your decision, is there anything you can do to get him back? The answer is, yes!

If you know that you had something special and you felt as though the relationship was deserving of a second chance, then it’s worth trying to get him back. However, for some reason, people failed to listen to their heart and let the partnership die. The story is always a fable of regret, punctuated by wishes that something else had happened.

That certainly isn’t the situation you want to find yourself in. If you are not comfortable with the breakup and you don’t want to regret in the end, go try getting back together with your ex — it’s indeed a very strong reason to consider to get your ex back. If you feel like he’s special and that the relationship had potential to be something wonderful, you will undoubtedly regret not taking action in the long run.

Let me ask you, do you want to be that someone that reflects on a later time in your life wondering what might have happened if you would have followed through on your feelings? You don’t want to think about him decades from now, wishing you knew where he was, what he was doing, and what things might be like if you had picked up the phone back when your heart was screaming at you to take a second chance on love.

If you believe that breaking up with your ex was a mistake you have to stand up and step forward to save the relationship. There are a lot of people who went through break ups, but did so only after making a sincere and heartfelt attempt at a second chance. They might not have succeeded then, but they moved forward with a certain comfort as a result of making an effort and they found love again.

There are those who did not step forward, though… those who did not put forth an effort. They are those who have regrets. They chose to spend their days wondering about what might have happened if things went differently. They chose to live in the past rather than taking living in the present as an option. They have failed to take action when it was needed the most. You have an option not to be like them.

There’s no prettier than the ugliest days of a break up but having regrets. If you want him back, try to get him back. It surely is the best thing to do. If you don’t mind the break up and you’re relatively sure things wouldn’t have amounted too much with him in the long run, then it isn’t necessarily a good idea to try to revive your relationship. On the other hand, if you want your ex boyfriend back you owe it to yourself to take immediate and serious action in an effort to rebuild the relationship.
