This shows your ex that you take their feelings and needs seriously and are willing to make changes to make things work.

3. Give your ex space

It’s important to respect your ex’s decision to take a break and give them space. Constantly texting them, calling them, or show up at their house will only drive them away further.

6. Work on yourself

If you want to win your ex back, you must first work on yourself. Take this time to focus on the areas in your life that need improvement. This could be anything from examining your weaknesses and bad habits to working on a skill or developing a hobby. It’s also a good idea to review your values and make sure you are still in alignment with them.

7. Make a plan

Once you’ve taken the steps to better yourself, it's time to create a plan that you can follow to get your ex back. Take a look at the things that went wrong in the relationship and think about how you can address them.

When you finally meet with your ex to patch things up, make sure it’s a meaningful conversation. This means keeping calm and being honest.
