What To Do If You Miss Your Ex – Your Friends Will Never Tell You This

Going through a breakup is one of the most stressful events that you can endure in life, and whether it was your idea or not you still might end up wondering what to do if you miss your ex.

There is a chance you might be indifferent toward the outcome of the relationship but, really, if that is the case then it was not that much of a relationship.

More than likely you will be polarized one way or the other.

On the one hand you may feel that being rid of your last boyfriend or girlfriend is good riddance. But if that was really the case I doubt you would be reading this, am I right?

So I can guess then that you have found you miss your ex and have given at least some thought toward how to get your ex back. Maybe it took some time before this feeling started to seep into your thinking, but now it is there.

What do you do?

Is this supposed to happen? You may have certain friends or relatives telling you to let him or her go and move on; and, truth be told, that could be the wise thing to do.

Before you make a rash decision either way, though, let us take a look at this issue through a clear lens.

If the breakup has been rather recent and you are feeling that you may want to get back together then perhaps you need just a little more cooling off time. Ponder the possibilities both ways, giving yourself time to come down from the high emotions that usually surround a breakup.

What you want to figure out is whether or not you really do miss your ex or if you just are lonely, or miss having a girlfriend or boyfriend. Some people even feel embarrassed to go certain places alone and are more comfortable with that steady date.

That is not good enough, though.

At some point all relationships are either going to be very serious or simply fade away. Almost nothing is constant in a lukewarm state.

If you are going to move on with your life then you want to file away the memories of your ex, no need to completely forget them, just put the memories and emotions into perspective.

But if your heart keeps nagging at you that it is more than that, that you really cannot stand to be without that person, then you need to take a different approach.

After a breakup it is not uncommon at all for a couple to get back together. We just were reminded of this when Elizabeth Taylor passed away. She and Richard Burton were married, divorced, remarried and divorced. Their love was almost a tug of war.

While I do not recommend such a see-saw approach to love, my point is that people breakup even though they love each other and are meant for each other; maybe the breakup is what should never have been.

If you are feeling that way now and want to know what to do if you miss your ex then pursue this matter further.

We have a lot of suggestions and articles written on this at our website that should be of help in sorting out your feelings and deciding how to proceed. The address is http://www.RelationshipAdviceHelp.com.

Deep Sea Fishing Mazatlan, Mexico

I will attempt to give you a fishing report from Mazatlan on January 20, 2009. The beaches are dead here and there are not many people around. We checked out the fishing and the reports were good. A few sails, the occasional dolphin, a tuna here and there, but many Striped Marlin around. Enrique Izquierdo, the GM of the Neto’s Fleet, approaches me on the dock. He has a panga ready to go for the next day. The panga will come with a Cpt., mate and is a typical 27 foot, center counsel with 2 Evinrude 90’s on it. I book it!

We leave the dock at 6:25am…we are the first ones out of the harbor…a good thing in my book. We run on a heading of 200 degrees until 7:30am. We are now approximately 22 miles out and set the lines. We are running baits on the outriggers, lures on the short corners, and one more bait up the middle…but short.

After trolling for about 30 minutes, I spot a tail in the water at about 250 yards. I point the heading to the Cpt. and we are off. The Marlin sees the baits and comes a running. Bam…HOOK-UP! He inhales the bait, so there is not much of a fight. One in the box!

We re-set and keep heading out. Not more than 10 minutes, I spot 4 tails in the air right in front of us. They are all sails, but after checking us out, they decide they are not interested. We continue on.

I’m looking back behind the boat and spot another Marlin. We circle back and this guy gives us a knock-down and a good look. Finally, on the third circle, he decides this is right for him. Bam…another one is inhaled. This one refuses to jump because he is hooked so deep. He gets the bat on the head and we now have our second Marlin of the day. We see several swirls near the boat and circle the areas, but no takers. It is now 10:00am and we have 2 in the boat, circled 4 sails and had other action. By the way, when I was bringing the second Marlin to the boat, I thought I saw something in the water. Turns out to be a school of giant squid. They came right up to the boat and the mate dropped a mullet on them. Twice he had a hook-up, but twice they managed to get free. These squid were in the 4-5 foot category…something I have never seen before. They were capable of biting a mullet in half…apparently, they have teeth!

We are on some birds and we cannot figure out what the birds are on. They act like tuna, but we have no takers. We have passed 5 commercial tuna boats and 1 helicopter…must be something in the area!! By now, the Cpt. has called the other boats and we have company. We split from the crowd (about 5 other boats) and head out further. The blue water was at 25 miles yesterday, but we hit 30 miles and the water was clear/green. Around noon, we suddenly had a visitor on the baits. It was the first fish of the day that we did not tail. This Marlin hit one outrigger (missed) and then went for the other one. Another swing and a miss on this one and we were on our third circle. About the time we were giving up and heading out, he appeared on the middle short bait. Bang…another hook-up! He was close to boat and kept coming toward us. I thought he was just going to give up, but when he saw the boat, he wanted no part of it. He took off and ran about 300 yards out in no time. I’m looking at the line heading directly behind the boat and see this fish jump off the starboard side and was beginning to think it was another fish. NOPE, it was my fish dancing on the horizon and I was beginning to worry about line stretch. This fish had at least 6 good jumps in him before I had to work him all the way back to the boat. It took me 30 minutes to get him there. Turned out he was barely hooked in the corner of the jaw and he did not want to come to the boat. This had to be the toughest Striper I have ever had to deal with. Number 3 was stacked in the boat for the ride home. We trolled a bit further and passed another school of giant squid. One took a run at the outrigger, but knocked it down and kept on going. We trolled in for a few miles and then pulled the lines. It was a great day of fishing. We hit the dock at 2:30pm and called it a day. Cpt. Rigo and first mate Isaac were good guys to fish with. I would highly recommend them and this fleet to anyone. Good guys and a great day of fishing…can’t beat that!!!

Why Not Talking to Your Ex Boyfriend Will Make Him Miss You – Break Up Tips for You

Any woman who is still in love with her ex boyfriend after the split wishes for one thing and one thing only. She wants to make him miss her. She dreams about the day when he’ll come running back to her begging her to take him back. If you’re one of those women dreaming that dream, you can actually make it a reality. If you’re tired of sitting home alone mourning the loss of your relationship, change it now. You can do certain things that will push psychological triggers within your ex that will make him miss you like mad and plead with you to come back to him.

One of the best ways to regain his interest is not talking to your ex boyfriend. You’ve likely taken the exact opposite approach up to now. That’s one critical mistake that many women make. You need to create a situation in which he’ll be able to fully understand what his life is like without you. If you’re constantly trying to reach out to him, it’s just not going to result in anything positive. That’s why, beginning today, you need to remove yourself from his life.

Not talking to your ex boyfriend is not nearly as challenging as you think it will be. You imagine him meeting someone else and falling so desperately in love with her that he commits to her forever after only dating a few weeks. That’s very unlikely to happen. What probably will happen is he’ll start to think more and more about you because you’re not right there anymore. He’ll also realize that you’re not waiting endlessly for him to come back to you and that triggers longing feelings within him.

Don’t make the mistake of announcing to your ex that your going to stop talking to him. This defeats the purpose entirely. Instead just get busy filling your time with other things. Work more, spend more time with the other people in your life you care about and spoil yourself. Take it one day at a time. If you do feel the urge to talk to him, call a good friend instead. Explain to them what you’re feeling and how you’re trying to avoid your ex, chances are good that they’ll jump on board and will take your mind off him immediately.

Once you do this for a few weeks, you’re going to notice a change in your ex boyfriend. No longer will he be telling you that he can’t be with you anymore. He’ll be calling you, asking how you are and wanting to talk. In the case of a broken relationship, absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
