We've all been through a bad breakup and sometimes, unfortunately, we're the ones being dumped. That said, sometimes, the relationship breaks up for obvious reasons. So, if you ask yourself the question, "Does my ex still love me?", you may be able to come up with some surprising answers.

First of all, just because a relationship has broken up doesn't mean all feelings simply disappear. Even the person doing the breaking up can still have feelings for the person he or she is leaving. That doesn't mean, however, that the relationship breakup shouldn't have happened. Sometimes, breaking up is the healthiest thing that could have occurred.

There are a lot of dynamics involved in breaking up. If you were dumped, did you behave badly, cheat, take the relationship for granted, or engage in any other behavior that you simply expected your ex to put up with, even though you were being very selfish? Or could the shoe have been on the other foot, where your ex was the one being selfish, but he or she still left you because something "better" had come along?

If your own behavior really was the reason for the breakup, it's very true that your ex may still love you but simply can't put up with your behavior and therefore chose to leave the relationship. This means that you may very well be able to change your behavior, show your ex that you have changed, and start fresh.

By the same token, if your ex was the one being very selfish and dumped you, all of a sudden, the realization of how special your relationship was becomes apparent, and they realize what they've missed. In this case, absolutely, your ex may still love you and again, perhaps the relationship is salvageable.

To see whether or not your ex still loves you, ask yourself the following questions. When you see your ex, are communications friendly, or do you simply fight? Has your ex contacted you recently, out of the blue, just to see how things are going? Do they talk wistfully about your relationship in the past? Or, has your ex truly moved on into another relationship?

If communications are friendly between you and your ex, or if your ex has recently reestablished communication on their end, it may very well be that your ex still has feelings for you and that the relationship could be resurrected. If that's true, start slow. You can call each other on the phone and chat, have "dates" just as if you had first met, or other things that couples do at the very beginnings of the relationship. Don't try sleeping together, living together, or anything that might otherwise complicate things until you know you're ready.

However, if your ex wants nothing to do with you, has clearly moved on to another relationship, or in any way has signified that the relationship is truly, truly over and that there's no hope of salvaging it, then it's time for you to move on, too. Remember that even if you're the one who got left AND you think it was unfair because you were trying so hard to make it work, it may be for the best that your ex left you. Let someone who truly will love you and be committed to you come into your life. After all, isn't that what you deserve?

3 Things Not to Do to Get Your Ex Back

Have you just broke up and now you want to know how to get your ex back? You realize, after the fact, that you are still very much in love and you have made a mistake. There are three things not to do after a breakup that could destroy your chances of getting your ex back into your life.

Your emotions tend to overrule any logical way of thinking during the first days of your break up. You are depressed, your heart is breaking, and yet you are desperate to change your situation. You are not thinking straight, and if you do not slow down and step back you will make mistakes that will wipe out any chances of getting back your ex.

1. Even though you feel as if you will die without them in your life, do not beg them to take you back. This is a huge mistake. Begging is not a point of character you would want to portray. You do not want their pity; don't use begging to bring them back. You want them back because of their love and respect for you. To correct your error of breaking up, you need to formulate a plan to get them back, and begging does not fit into this plan.

2. Although you feel that you must talk to them, do not persistently try to communicate with them. You want to be with them, to see them, but in reality what the both of you need is time away. Do not repeatedly call them, send text messages to them, or show up at places you know they will be. Give them space and at the same time allow yourself some much needed space to create an avenue to take to recover your love.

3. You want your ex back and with a new beginning you have the opportunity to make a difference in your relationship. Start with positive emotions; do not act needy in hopes of getting them back. Acting needy demonstrates weakness on your part, a tendency that could drive your ex even further away. Think positive and work towards repairing that what is broken.

These three mistakes are typical reactions after breaking up with a loved one. You only want to get them back, you miss them and you are still in love. No matter what the circumstances, you will need to avoid these actions so as not to hurt your chances of reconciliation.

Don't give up - there is hope for you as well. Couples reconcile every day and so can you. You do not want to give into your feelings of depression, hopelessness and despair by begging, being needy, and requiring pity to get back together.
