You still remember it like it happened yesterday.
The two of you went at it tooth and nail.
When it was over they stormed out of the house and you sat there fuming.
After a while you calmed down and you figured they had also.
It's not like the two of you have not been down this road before, Many times as a matter of fact but no matter what you both came back together better than before.
Not his time.
Your significant other says they love you but they have had enough of this relationship.
They want out.
You understand and agree that it would probably be for the best.
NO hard feeling and you wish them well.
It doesn't take long for you to figure out that this is the last thing you really wanted.
You want them back.
Warts and all the two of you in your opinion are a great team.
Any problems are minor compared to the love the two of you have for each other.
Now what? A few things need to be worked on.
1.
The Jealousy Problem You just cannot stand the thought of them being with someone else.
That's understandable but the reality is they can do what they want.
Therefore don't freak out if you hear that your ex is going out with somebody new.
Showing them those colors will only confirm in their minds that they made the right decision breaking up with you.
2.
Gentle Persuasion Send them a letter.
Yes you could always email them but a handwritten letter is more personal.
It can be just a quick note to see how they are doing and to bring them up to date on what's going on with you.
Don't make anything obsessive about how much you miss them.
Treat like you are writing a letter to an old friend.
