How do I get him back? If you've split up with your significant other, you may be asking yourself this question every day. It can be very hard to deal with a break up and all the emotions you experience. But once you've processed the break up in your mind, you may want to know if there's any chance at all for getting him back.

The most important question you need to ask yourself is, do you really want him back? Once the shock of the split has worn off, make sure you ask yourself this. It's natural to want to get back together right after you've broken up, but once you have some breathing space, you may start to think differently.

** Don't Get Back Together For The Kids **

If you have kids together, then you may feel that you want to get back together for the sake of the kids. While this is an admirable sentiment, you do have to ask yourself if it is really fair on your kids to live in a household where their parents are together, but not really happy.

Kids pick up on tension in the house and will know something's not right, even though Mom and Dad say everything is fine. Sometimes it's better for kids to have two happy but single parents, instead of constantly bickering or fighting parents who are only together because of them.

** Once A Cheater… **

If you've broken up because your partner has cheated on you, then you have to decide if you'll be able to trust him again. By cheating, he has betrayed your trust and what you had together.

Although men swear that they'll never cheat again, often they find themselves doing it again and again. This may be because it's a symptom of something wrong in the relationship or because he's addicted to the thrill of the chase with other women and he finds the lying and sneaking around exciting.

So if he's cheated on you, you might have to be very clear with him about what is acceptable behavior if you decide to try to fix your relationship.

** How Do I Get Him Back? **

If you're still seriously thinking of getting him back, then it may be very helpful if you saw a relationship counselor. You can see the counselor on your own, or if you're still on speaking terms with your ex, you could ask him if he would be willing to go with you.

It can be very useful to get an objective perspective on an emotionally fraught situation such as a broken relationship.

If you see the counselor on your own, you can pour your heart out to them, knowing that you won't be judged for what went wrong in your relationship. The counselor may be able to offer suggestions on how to view things differently and you may be able to get a new perspective on what went wrong.

** Be Honest With Him **

It's important to be honest with your ex if you want to win him back. If you can both be honest about what went wrong in your relationship, you have a better chance of getting back together.

It's important to stay on friendly terms with your ex. This way, you'll be able to contact him if you do want to give your relationship a second chance.

However you feel about the break up, make sure you don't take any anger or bitterness out on him. It can be very tempting to make an angry phone call to your ex, but when you let him know you want to get back together, he'll remember that angry call and he may not be so receptive to your request for a second chance.

** The Art Of Getting Him Back **

Once you've decided you want your ex back, it's vital that you do and say the right things to win him back. So act like a lady and make sure you take care of your appearance. If you see your ex face to face and you look like a bag lady, then he may have second thoughts about getting back together.

However, if you look great, then your appearance may help to convince him to give your relationship a second chance. Always remember that men are visual creatures. If you look dreadful, he may feel sorry for you, but if you look amazing, he'll remember what he's missed out on since you broke up.

How do I get him back? By applying the above tips if they are right for your situation. If you stay true to yourself, you'll have a better chance of dealing with the break up whether you get back together or not.

Save your relationship and Win Back Your Ex now.
