"Should You Get Your Ex Back?"

If you are thinking about getting your ex back,the first thing you should think about is why you guys broke up in the first place, as in if it was a characteror an attraction issue. If it's just an attraction orcommunication issue, then by all means try to raise the attraction and save your relationship.

But if you guys had broken up because of relationshipdrama, such as if you or your ex had too much emotionalbaggage to be involved with a romantic relationship, thenI'd recommend against getting back together. If it was you who had character problems, then fix yourself firstand then think about getting back together. If it was yourex who had character problems, then be glad that therelationship is over and don't even think about gettingback together.

This will require an objective review of yourex's and your own character. If you're still too emotional to have clear judgment, then here's a simple test: Thinkabout whether your close friends and family hate your ex do. If they do, chances are, there's something wrong withyour ex that you don't see.

You should also think about how compatible youactually are with your ex. If it's "just too hard" foryou guys to be together, maybe you both would be better offbeing with someone who'd create less drama.
