I regret breaking up with my ex. What should I do?

It is a little difficult to give feedback to this question only because I do not know your history on this relationship. However, the first thing may be to write down or list in your mind the reasons you broke up with your ex. then ask yourself if those reasons are still valid. If they are, then you need to move on. Get active, go out with your friends and count the reasons why you are lucky not to be in a relationship with your ex. On the other hand, if after reviewing the reasons you broke it off with your ex, you find that those reasons are no longer valid for you, you might want to consider the possibilities of getting in touch with your ex. to see whether you may be able to work it out with him. Do not be afraid to make the first move if this is something you want to make happen. He will not know you may want to get back together if you do not let him know. Of course, you have to accept the possibility that he may have moved on already and in that case, you should move on as well.

Think about the reasons you decided to break up with that person. Was it in the heat of the moment or was it a long thought out process. Consider whether or not you are only regretting it because you feel lonely or because you miss the familiarity. Also think about whether or not you were happy in the relationship. Is the relationship worth getting back into. Is the other person willing to work things out with you. Think about how to openly discuss why you got to that point and how to move forward from there before you re enter the relationship.

Ask yourself why you regret breaking up with them. If you love them enough to ask for them back then I would say go for it. It's better than being left wondering. If they take you back then great. If not then maybe it's for the best. One thing for sure is that you will need to talk to them about it all and if they don't want to talk then you need to respect that but I think everything happens for a reason so giving it a shot at least takes away the mystery of wondering what could have been. Best of luck to you! -LC

If you hurt them badly it will be hard trying to reconnect with them but i totally think you should try and chat with them about your regrets and let them know how your feelings are towards them and im sure if they still feel the same you will progress towards getting back together? Remember though, you have to fix the reason you broke up in order for you to get back together and make it work this time, if you don't get back together i suggest putting yourself out there and meeting new people and try to move on. GOOD LUCK

Move on. Let go. Trying to fill your life with other meaningful things. You can't turn back the time. Accept it. Try to open up your heart to a new person. It's never a good idea to read the same book. Because you know how it ends. Sure it's not easy but the best way to deal with it is accept it and you will gain a peace of mind. I honestly still love him. They best thing I can do is pray for him and hope he has a good life. Unless you two still have the same feelings.

Well, this question requires a little bit more context. As a general rule, if someone is your ex, they're your ex for a reason. You may miss the familiarity, the expression, and attributes about them - but if you felt strongly enough to break up with them, the odds are that maybe this is a boundary you need to maintain. If it didn't work then, it's unlikely to work now. But if you feel that strongly, I would open the discussion with your ex about how you feel, and see how they feel about it was well? I can't give further advice than that, i'm afraid.

Reflect on the background of why you broke up with him/her. Do you think it will be better to be apart, or could things work out again? Reflect on why you chose to end the relationship and what you can do in the future to avoid the situation. How about consider talking to him or her about possibly making things work again? If you are not comfortable with that just realize that there was a reason the relationship had to come to an end and never blame yourself for something that didn’t work out. There are so many people who would love to be with you and don’t take it personally because one person did not work out

Breaking up with anyone is a difficult choice to make. So there must have been some underlying issues or concerns that made you make that decision in the first place. So now you must be feeling some doubt about your reasoning from back then. My best advice would be to look back on his you were feeling in that moment and determine whether the reasons you had at the time affect your life the same way now that they did back then. Sometimes in life you can feel lonely and think that you are missing something but really you are just misguided and having some doubts within yourself. Best of luck!

Sit back and think about what is making you feel like you regret breaking up with this person. Do you regret it because you miss them? Do you regret it because you think you’ve done something wrong in the break up? Do you regret it because you want the relationship back? Think of all of the pros and cons of being with this person. Is this a person support you and your dreams? Are they good for your well-being? Did they let you have relationships with your friends and family? Only you can answer these questions in the end. Good luck and I hope this helps a little bit.

An intimate relationship between two people can never be judged by another. Both of you know best what to do. Maybe you could talk to them about it. It would at least relieve you of bottling up your feelings and hurting yourself in the process. Or before that give it some thought, why did you break up with them? Does the reason still stand valid? Would it be best to reach out to them and talk things through? What are the consequences? What is the best and worst case scenario? Thinking about all that will really help you open up to yourself so you can make the best decision. Remember to take care of yourself. You are just as precious as anyone else. So don't hurt yourself in the process. I wish you all the best.

As with most things in relationships, the answer comes down to communication. Direct, honest, communication. Before you reach out, however, think through what led to your regrets- is it a general sadness over having broken up, or a desire for this specific person despite the faults that led to the breakup? If you've recognized that the breakup was hasty or that the problems could have been resolved and you have the desire to work on them, it's time to reach out to your ex. Explain what you're feeling and thinking, candidly. Your ex is probably hurting too, so be empathetic and listen to what they have to say in response. Talk through what led to the breakup and your plan for how it could be resolved together, and then accept your ex's answer, yes or no, with grace.

Regretting the breakup. I feel like we have all experienced it in one way or another. But in my experience, it is a phase of a breakup where I doubt my decision, where i miss the person so much and where I’m so incredibly tempted to try to just get back to them. But I always try to objectively look at all of it as well. I first acknowledge that it’s a natural stage of grieving process, if you will. And I always try and remember why we broke up in the first place. Something led to that breakup that’s an indication of that relationship not working all that perfectly, therefore valid reason for a breakup exist.

Move on and find yourself. When you made a conscious decision to break up with someone, you are also making a conscious effort to let the other person know that whatever you may have been feeling for them is no longer present. If such a regret pops up, that could possibly mean two things. If the relationship was healthy, and it was going well, it shows that you were hasty with your decisions, and you now have a chance to work on being more patient and understanding with what you really want. Maybe talking about what you feel is wrong with the relationship with your partner will actually help strengthen it more. If the relationship was unhealthy, then it means you need treatment to help you with the trauma of feeling empty without them because they have made themselves a prime figure in your life by eliminating everything else that was probably important to you. This may not be the case for everyone, and everyone's case is different, but the one thing is that without regrets, we can't be our better selves. So move on and find yourself because the only person you can truly love is yourself.

It depends on the circumstances - if the breakup wasn't too acrimonious and you feel like contacting them wouldn't have a terrible effect on the progress they've made without you, then try reaching out. If they want nothing to do with you, try to apologize for what you've done and learn to live with your decision, but be ready for the potential "I never want to hear from you again". Another thing is, ask yourself if you really regret breaking up, or of they've simply picked their life up and done more with themselves than you have since the breakup - trying to reestablish contact with someone who's made great strides to move on while you've made little to no progress is unproductive and unfair to both parties.

You need to take time and have a little chat with yourself. Think back of the reason you broke up with him in the first place. Was he good to you? Was he bad? Make a list of the things he did and see how many of them were right or wrong. If you think that the reason why you broke up with him wasn't a big of a deal and that you wrong, then you could, maybe, call him and try to make things right between the two of you. Explain to him how you feel and why, the two of you, should give another chance to your relationship. Sometimes we make mistakes, but you shouldn't worry yourself over them, because we are human and we make mistakes in order to learn from them.

I have felt this way before but I had to remind myself I broke up with them for a reason. You may miss them but take a step back and ask yourself was he good for me? If not, then you made the right decision. Normally as people we miss it once its gone kind of like nostalgia but we only seem to focus on the happy times. If there was a valid reason to breakup with him, keep that in mind when making your decision to talk to him again. I know missing someone can be hard but put yourself first.

Why did you break up with your ex in the first place? And regrets always come at last to see what you lose. But if you regret it and want him/her to come back at you, then maybe talk to him/her and say that you made a wrong decision on breaking up with him/her. Talk it out with your ex and see if there's still a chance for you to get back together if you want to get back with your ex. You two have to come up with a mutual decision an if your ex doesn't want to get back with you then maybe you have to accept it.

This is normal. Don’t beat yourself over it. Try to remember the reasons and the feelings that brought you to that decision. Would you still have broken up with them if you had been in a different mindset? There are very legitimate reasons to break up: if you know you’re not headed the same way, if you don’t feel safe, or secured, or loved with them... then again, maybe you just need some time for yourselves. After this time, do you still crave that person? Or is it rather that you don’t want to be alone anymore ? There is no definite answer, you just need to take the time to ponder your decision.

Be honest to them about how you've been feeling. Think about where the relationship went wrong the first time and how you can improve it in the future. Then approach them and try talking about it with them. Always be honest in a relationship and see where it goes. But at the same time it takes two people two have a relationship so its now up to them to decide whether or not they want something. Don't be afraid for the answer to be no but give it a shot if you really want to try again. Good luck! -Anonymour Turtle

Many times after a break up, we tend to question ourselves as to was it the right thing to do or what if I made a mistake in ending the relationship. We also tend to or positive and have the good in the person outshine the bad. Which is very good but you also have to remember there was that you broke up with this person. Try to differentiate the good and the bad and bad stuff, think about it. Can I live with this? Is it all that bad? Can we work and around this problem? And after you’ve answered all of these, and you’ve realized that the bad things are you things you consider deal breakers, you’ll understand why you shouldn’t continue the relationship.

We all regret decisions at some point in our lives, but does it ever get us anywhere? Living in the past can be a hard thing, and I always find myself feeling most confident when I am accepting of my own decisions and follow through. I can't tell you what to do, because what works for me, might not work for you, but I can tell you about a time when I felt the same way. You are not alone in this experience, we have all been there and will probably all revisit it again someday. Acceptance is one of the tools that will help you get through this.

That depends on you , I can’t tell you what you should do in this situation but I can help , writing down your emotions and how you feel about them is one strategy you can use , settling your emotions helps with making decisions , it’s youre choice whether to talk to them or not but it would help if you thought about your feeling maybe start a journal , journals help because u can write all you feelings down and get in touch with yourself better , going over the pros and cons of what you regret can help you come to a good decision

Well there is a reason why it happened. Now you need to ask yourself why you broke up and list the things down. It is a difficult decision whether to hold on to someone or to let go of them but everything happens for a reason. How you feel about it and what you want, can only be answere by one person, that is, you. Break ups are always difficult but ask yourself you did and why do you think that you want him back. Then decide if that is what you truly want, if yes, then I think you know what you need t do.

Based off of my own experience, these feelings of regret are often confused with feelings of loneliness and loss. You need time to reflect on these feelings by doing what you feel allows you to express yourself best! Whether it is journaling, poetry or song writing, it allows you to process these thoughts. If this doesn't help, then definitely talk to someone who you trust. This is for gaining outside perspective and opinions that are not biased or involved. Communication and the thought process are key here. Do not make decisions in a hurry and because you feel obligated to. Do what feels right for you.

From my experience I only broke up with someone if I am sure there is no way that relationship is going to work. It can be hurtful to break up with someone over and over again for both of you, and we should never hurt each other. So think if there is a chance, think about why did you broke up in the fist place. Don't just go back because you miss being in a relationship, or because you feel uncomfortable on your own. It will get better! Sometimes it is better alone than with someone who is not right for you. Take care!

Try to talk to yourself several times a day, because it’s you who knows the best for you, who knows every detail about you, practice talking to yourself silently. Before you go to sleep, lie down on your bed/couch comfortably, make your body as comfortable as you can, then make your mind comfortable and then ask yourself what you did was wrong or right, what is this you are actually experiencing, why did you breakup with him/her. Does he/she ever tried to harm you. Was he/she a good person, a humble, loyal partner for you. All the answers are with you only. Try to sleep with these questions in your mind and no worries and I am sure in the morning whatever is good for you will pop! Take care

I have learned people need people and healthy conversations can shine light in a dark space. Self assessment is key then you can help others. I learned to take 1 day at a time and enjoy the process no matter the good and bad times. Always re adjust the lens you use to view life. take time to reflect, accept and grow. We need to be honest and communicate. Communication can mend a broken heart and fix misunderstandings. Communication opens the door for friendships, reconciliation and healing. We all have wonderful different and unique personalities, so whatever you decide to do make sure your authentic.

Unfortunately, my training does not allow me to give advice so I can not tell you what to do. You know yourself and your ex better then I do so this is your call. Why do you not tell me why You broke up with them in the first place and we can try to find you a clear path? Taking about your experience to another person might bring to light new point of views and facts that you had not noticed before. This can help you make a healthy decision! It’s good to have someone to talk to!

This is always a difficult question to answer. Feelings of regret are natural when something comes to end. I guess a starting place is to ask yourself why you broke up in the first place? Are the reasons valid? Secondly, give yourself some time away from the individual, it can help you determine what you real feelings are, especially if you can go a sustained period of time with no contact. Then have a look at their current situation, are they single? Is there a possibility of you getting back together? And after taking some time, assessing reasons as to why you broke up, perhaps then you can decide the next steps, whether to get back together or realise it's not right for you. Not a definitive answer but I hope this helps.

Remember why you broke up with them in the first place. When you've done that, ask yourself whether this reason is still worth it. Did you break up with them in that moment because you were angry?, Have they really been a good partner to you?. If you find you had a good reason to end thingsss, there's no need to be regretful, youve made the right choice, and things may hurt right now but they wont hurt forever. However, if you trult think youve made a mistake ending things, then talk to your ex as soon as possible, I think there's still a lot to talk about.
