If your wife has left or dumped you then don't despair, unless you haven't aggravated the situation then there are things you can do to put you on the path back to her door and into her arms.

How to get your wife back depends a lot on how you reacted in the initial break up. One of the best things you can do believe it or not is to simply walk away yourself. While this option is tough it has several benefits.

Think about this...there is a reason your wife decided to leave you. She obviously needs time on her own and will be hurting just as much as you. By continually wanting to contact her to try and present your case, ask for an explanation or throw yourself at her mercy begging for her to take you back is in most cases, going to prove detrimental.

Get Wife Back - What Not To Do

Unless you have done something which is irreversible in her eyes such as break her trust through cheating then there is hope.

Here are a few things you should consider:

• Tell her you agree with the break up and in fact were thinking about it for sometime yourself.

• Don't argue with her about the why of the break up. The last person she wants advice from at the moment is you and unless you can understand this, then you'll just be lengthening the gap between you and her in the relationship.

• Avoid calling her everyday. In fact, for the first few weeks, unless it's a real emergency then don't call, text message or email her.

• Resist the temptation to get answers from friends and family. The bottom line is, whether they help you or not it will get back to her and this is going to probably upset or aggravate her.

• And don't get all needy. In other words, letting her know you cannot live without her and you're going insane. This is considered needy and unattractive behavior.

By giving her space and time you will earn more respect in her eyes. In fact, by staying clear, then you are putting in motion something very powerful in relationships and in a nutshell, it's got to do with regaining your own posture and the first step to win your wife back.
