If you somehow found yourself in the unbelievable situation of being single again, it is very likely that you feel sad and hurt and confused. A long and fruitful relationship that went out the window is always a painful experience. But do not despair. There is a practical plan to redeem your ex back. In fact, the plan involves 3 crucial steps:

1) Do Nothing Rash

Some situations call for calm and a breakup is one of them. You cannot hope to do things correctly if your emotions are high. Give yourself some time to think clearly and logically. But do not wallow in self-pity or get depressed. Use this precious time instead to take some quality time off. Try to do the things you had always wanted to do in the past but somehow were not able to do. Play golf, go fishing, enjoy the beach or take up ballroom dancing. Learn a new hobby.

2) Allow Some Space

At this point, whatever the reason and no matter how valid, the fact of the matter is that both of you need space and distance. You may not be the only one who is suffering here and contacting them will re-open old wounds. You suffered and they suffered too. Anything that might be said during this time can in all probability worsen the situation. So, just stay put for a little while.

3) Get A Fresh Start

Be humble. Realize that you need a fresh start just like anyone else. Your past experiences are not a guarantee towards the future. In fact, do not get too cocky and overconfident. Remember, you are starting with a clean slate and whatever was your past count for nothing this time.

Formulate a plan that will re-ignite the sparks in your relationship. Think of something positive and not on the negatives such as whose fault it was or why it ever occurred. There is no use crying over spilled milk. Be positive and this time, be pro-active too. Take the initiative and pursue it.
