Advice on Why Your Ex Broke Up With You

By Paul Prince

In this article, I'm going to give you some advice on how to get your ex back. The first thing that I should tell you is that if you're anything like the majority of exes, you do not know the true reason that you are no longer together with your ex. I find that many people think they understand what's going on psychologically, but actually don't. Let me go into some more detail.

When our ex no longer wants to be with us, they usually give us some kind of reason. Maybe you think you have a clear idea of what this reason is, because it was explicit.

On the other hand, perhaps you're feeling at least a little bit confused because the reason that your ex gave you for not wanting to be together was very vague. Maybe it was even a mixed message.

Take my advice -- you have to get to the bottom of the real reason that your ex no longer wants to be with you. And it's probably not what you're thinking.

If your ex is content on being away from you and no longer wants to be in the relationship, it can only mean one thing -- that your ex is no longer as strongly attracted to you as they once were. Let me tell you something about attraction -- attraction is one of the most powerful emotions that humans are capable of, and it dictates our actions extremely powerfully. If your ex were still attracted to you in the way that they were in the beginning, would they really be able to resist being with you? Can you resist being with them?

Powerful emotions such as attraction and respect hold people together like glue, often times even against their better judgement. Just take a look at the countless relationships around you where people who really probably shouldn't be together stick it out for the long haul, just because the feelings that they feel for each other overpower any logical reason for why they shouldn't be together. Don't make the mistake of thinking that these are exclusively needy, co-dependent people, either.

No, normally strong and independent men and women are powerless to the force of attraction. You are no different, and neither is your ex.

A major factor in getting your ex back is "attraction." The thing that first brought you two together, the chemistry that made you stand out to each other from all the other fish in the sea. Attraction is a vital link for getting your ex to want you back. When you hear the word attraction though, you may think I'm merely talking about looks alone, but I'm not.

No, attraction is a lot more complex than that, and it is not a choice. It is mostly mental, actually. Sure, looks contribute, but it's the overall feeling that is most important. And you can influence that feeling with psychology.

It doesn't need to be difficult, either. There are quite a few things you can do to make your ex feel that overwhelming sense of attraction for you that they once did. I don't want to make it sound too easy, but I don't want you over complicating this advice either. Attraction was the beginning of your relationship, and when it fades, it can be the end of it until you do something to turn the situation around.
