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

By John Laney

Maybe you already have called your ex 100 times and begged and pleaded and made an idiot out of yourself. You really want to get your ex back and so youve been pushing hard. And they arent returning your calls. This is hugely frustrating!

How in the world can you get your ex back if they won't return your phone calls? Rather than tricks or gimmicks, like trying to bump into them at work, you can be respectful, honest and sincere and get them to talk to you. Here are a few ways to do this:

Call and leave them a sincere message that if they will just give you ten minutes of their time, you'll stop bugging them forever (or for a few weeks, whatever is sincere for you). So could they please call you back? Don't beg, but if you make it sound honest and respectful, your ex will often just return your phone call. In their mind, they are exchanging ten minutes for some peace and quiet!

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.

Give them a day or two, and if they dont respond its okay. This happens sometimes. Each relationship is unique in what happened, what caused the break up, and how emotionally upsetting the break up was. How to get your ex back is a process, not a formula.

If they don't get to you, they may just need more time to process their feelings and begin to let go of their anger or sadness about you and the break up. They need space. Everyone is different. So give them a week of No Contact. A week of silence from you. Then try the above steps again.

Giving your ex some space, time, peace and quiet can be very difficult to do, but it also work wonders. It can show that you understand and respect their feelings and their needs, which is always a good thing. It may be hard for us to give them a week or two of space, but it can be just what is needed.

So give your ex a week of no contact if needed, then make a call. You can often get your ex back using some patience. If this doesn't work, there are still some other strategies you can use, like a particular kind of apology or reconnect letter.
