How To Get Your Ex Back If They Don't Return Your Calls

By John Laney

Maybe you have been calling your ex and pleading and begging and making an idiot out of yourself. You've realized the error of your ways and so you've been leaving a 100 messages trying to get them to talk to you. You want to get your ex back but they won't talk to you. It's very frustrating!

How do you get you ex back if they dont want to talk to you? Well, obviously, just calling them wont work since they wont answer. I always recommend the truth, since you want Real Love. So you can do a few things:

You can call them and leave a final message which offers them a deal. If they will give you ten minutes of their time, you'll stop texting and leaving endless voice mails. So then, can they please call you back? You don't need to beg or plead or threaten them, and you want to sound (and be) respectful, sincere and honest. Oftentimes your ex will call you back, just because of the promise of no more nagging or begging phone messages!

If they don't respond to that message, you can send them a short letter offering the same bargain. They may want you to suffer a little bit, but after a day or two you can often get a response from them, depending, of course, on how difficult and upsetting the break up was.

Once you've called and left a message or sent a note, give them a day or two to get back to you. And if they don't call you, and upsetting as it may be, it's okay. This obviously happens. Each break up is unique as to what caused it and how damaging emotionally it was. Getting your ex back is a process you have to dance with.

So if they don't get back to you after a sincere, honest, respectful voice mail or letter, you may need to give them a week or two of No Contact. Sometimes, to get your ex back, you have to give them the space and quiet time on their own to grieve or begin to forgive and let go of what happened. So if you give them some time, you can then try the two steps above again.

You dont have to wait forever (even though it may seem like forever), but a little time and space can do wonders for letting angry emotions dissolve. Its often not what we want to hear, but a week or two of no contact can show that you respect their feelings and needs.

So give it a week of NO CONTACT and then make a call. You can often move towards getting your ex back with a little patience. If they still dont get back to you, there are some more detailed steps you can take by sending them a particular type of apology and/or reconnect letter. - 15431
