How To Determine If Your Ex Is Worth Fighting For
The person that makes them smile and feel true happiness.
Believe me when I say this will happen for you.
But before you continue reading and prepping yourself for reconciliation, you need to make sure your ex truly is the right person for you.
We'll explore how to look back and come to terms with what exactly came between you and your ex...
and whether or not this relationship is worth saving.
Time To Reflect Look deep into your relationship.
Think about those Monday mornings, Saturday evenings, nights out at restaurants, walks through the neighborhood...
what were the pitfalls in your relationship? Especially after a breakup, people are tempted to only remember the bad or only the good.
That isn't gonna help.
You've got to look at both.
Only then will you be able to remove those blinders and actually make things happen.
Get your pen ready, we're going to explore the good, the bad and perhaps the UGLY or your relationship.
The GOOD Aww, love.
It's wonderful isn't it? Put on those rose-colored glasses for a second and reminisce.
You meet hundreds of people over the course of your life, so what made your ex stand out? The beginning stages of your relationship are very telling about why you fell in love with this person to begin with.
For example, remember that first kiss? That first long talk about anything and everything? What was it about them that gave you butterflies when he or she came around? Just like most couples, you probably grew out of this "honeymoon" stage over time.
Instead of working to keep things fresh & fun, life gets in the way and we get lazy.
So let's do this.
Take out a pen, and write done the qualities that first attracted you to your ex.
What made you fall in love? [Some things to consider: Personality traits, similar interests, spiritual beliefs, etc.
] The BAD Alright, now on to the not-so-fun part.
No relationship is perfect, and chances are, neither was yours.
Sometimes it's ONE issue that caused a break-up, but more often than not it's a few little issues that pile up over time.
It's time to face reality and get to the bottom of the "bad" parts of your relationship.
Now, be honest.
Try to put those possible feelings of anger behind you.
You know what's coming next, right? Yup, another list.
This one is equally as important.
We know this sucks, but don't hold back.
What problems or issues were present in your relationship? [Some things to consider: Differences of opinion over family, faith, hobbies; lack of physical attraction, infidelity, etc.
] The UGLY Maybe you are one of those "big issue" people.
Did one of you cheat? Or was there some other sort of betrayal? Men and women don't just leave their lover unless there are other factors involved.
Look at your relationship: What do you think influenced the slip of trust? If you were cheated on, and would like to forgive your ex, you also need to be able to move past it.
If you were the one who cheated, you need to be able to properly explain what caused your slip-up and how you plan on fixing it.
