When a person is dumped, they may act out of sorts. This is especially true if the breakup was unexpected or quite bad. They want their ex back and who can blame them? Still, when they try to do this, they make three very big mistakes that can cost them their second chance. What three mistakes can these be?

Mistake (1) - Clinging

Everyone wants someone in his or her life. When your significant other decides they no longer want to be with you, it can be devastating. After all, you don’t want to be alone. You decide that clinging onto your ex is the best way to bring them back to you. That’s totally wrong. When you cling to your ex, you drive them further away. The breakup was designed to give a person some space so they could think about what they need and want in their life.

Mistake (2) - Drunk Dialing

Forgo the alcohol during the initial breakup period. If you drink, you are likely to do a major mistake called drunken dialing. What is this? It is done out of desperation where you lay your heart on your sleeve in a phone call to your ex usually in the middle of the night. What does this actually do for you? Nothing. What does it make you look like? A fool. It makes the person glad that they got away from you. In actual fact it does plenty of damage when you are trying to win them back.

Mistake (3) - Text Message Terrorism

It’s common to want to talk with your ex. After all, you were together for some time. However, calling them repeatedly can have devastating effects on your chances of winning back your ex. It doesn’t just mean calling your ex by phone either. It means texting them, emailing them, sending them instant messages, etc. When you do this, it’s as if you threw yourself at them each time. This is a big No-No. Just give your ex the space they need.

After your breakup while giving your ex space may be what you think is the worst thing to do, it’s actually the best thing. Space allows both of you to stay calm and plan out what to do next. Believe it or not, a break is needed from your other half from time to time. By not doing these three things, you can rest assured that your chances of winning them back are destroyed.
