Getting Back With An Ex...

I have truly never understood the phrase “falling out of love...” In fact — when I first heard it  — I found it deeply disturbing... I recall thinking as a child that if someone could fall out of love with someone else — and they were legally married, then could my parents fall out of love with me??? The question haunted me into my teens... It was then — and my first love/crush/kiss — that I learned some love outlast breakups...

Society pressures us to put relationships into boxes with labels, like “ex” or “partner” or “friend.” The reALIty is this: people’s roles in our lives are always shifting, and embracing these shifts is the only way to appreciate every relationship for what it is. That way, the end of a relationship doesn’t seem so devastating — because it’s really the beginning of a new one.

As painful as a breakup can be, relationships usually end for good reason—especially when one or both of you are unhappy, and you'd be better off meeting someone new. On rarer occasions, lingering feelings for an ex are so strong that "rekindling things" doesn't quite describe it, because that fire never went out. Even many seemingly-rock-solid celebrity marriages were preceded by a brief split: Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo and Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, to name just a few.

Reconciliations can work out, but is it right for your situation?

When with our ex, we already know what we like, don't like, and how they act...

It’s definitely possible to have more success with round two — however, you need to approach it the right way. Because real life isn't like Friends (Ross and Rachel), Sex and the City (Carrie and Big), or Grey's Anatomy (Meredith and McDreamy). The appeal of the ex is real...  And so are the problems...

Here's how to get back with your ex without making a total mess of it...!!!!!!!
