So, your ex has walked out on you, you're still in love with your ex and naturally all you want to do is to find a way to make up with them.

What are you going to do to get them back?

Well first of all you need to take some time out.

Needless to say this is a very emotional time and you are probably highly stressed and not thinking straight. We very often panic when we're in high stress situations and trying to get your ex back in your life is one of the most stressful situations we can find ourselves in, so take some time to think.

After you've stopped panicking and had some time out to clear your head, the next thing that you want to do to get your ex back is to face the mistakes you've made.

The worst thing you can do is to come to the conclusion that you haven't made any mistakes. It takes two to make or break a relationship, so the best thing you can do, if you're serious about getting your ex back, is to face up to whatever it is you did wrong. When you've faced up to your mistakes, own them.

By owning them, I mean you should begin to make the right moves to put right what you've done wrong.

If you've had an affair, then you need to make sure that the person you had the affair with is completely out of your life.

If you failed to make time for your boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband then you need to look at your schedule and change things permantently.

Whatever your part in the breakup, fix it or begin to fix it and for now concentrate on just that. Don't spend too much time focusing on what you see as your ex's mistakes, that is for the future, just focus on yours.

Once you've figured out what you've done wrong, the question that you next ask yourself is "can I sort this on my own?"

In other words, are you going to need the help of a professional agency to help you make right your mistake?

Perhaps anger has been your problem and your ex left because of this? If so it might be right to speak to someone about anger management?

If your part in the breakup was not making time for your ex, then perhaps talk to someone about time management.

All I'm saying here is to make sure that you don't kid yourself into thinking that you alone can "fix" whatever has gone wrong on your own. If you're serious about getting your ex back then seek out the help that is out there.
