How To Get Back An Ex Part 3
Welcome back to “How To Get Back An Ex.” This is part 3, part 1 of how to get back an ex is here, part 2 of how to get back an ex is here.
Ok, let’s recap. We talked about the first steps to take. We talked about taking responsibility. And last time we talked about some of the reasons to agree with your breakup. Today I want to discus some of the psychology behind avoiding contact with your ex.
Based on the questions I get, I know this step is the hardest to understand. How can I get back my ex, if I don’t talk to them for a month? Although it may seem counter intuitive, it is the single most important thing you must do to get back an ex.
Again I stress, this is not forever, only three to four weeks, maybe a little longer if you have behaved poorly at the beginning of the breakup.
Here is some of the psychology behind ceasing all contact.
It makes you unavailable. Your ex no longer knows for sure whether or not you’ll come running back at the drop of a hat. Here are the questions that start going through their mind;
“Have they found someone else?”
“How have they moved on quicker than I have?”
“What are they doing?”
“Is it really over for good?”
They’re mind will be on you. They will be checking up on you. They will check your FaceBook and MySpace. They’ll ask your friends about you. They’ll ask their friends about you. They will forget the fight or argument you had. They will start to develop selective memory, only remembering the good things about you and forgetting the bad.
Here is the proof. Think of a childhood friend that at one time you had a falling out with that you haven’t seen in years. Even though you try, I bet you can’t really remember the details of the falling out, only the good times and fun you had with them. 
This is what starts to happen with your ex. They basically start to miss you. This peaks at three to four weeks of no contact. This is the reason for the time.
Here is the other force at work on their psyche behind the scenes. Humans want what they cannot have. They want most what is just outside of their grasp. When they think of you, they now think they cannot have you. This draws them in. We talked last time about people fighting hardest to keep something of value they believe they might lose, this applies as well to this step.
Here is an important point. Perception is reality. Whatever your ex believes is true, is true to them. If they think they will lose you, or you are over them, they will be motivated to take action. So even if this is not the case, if they think it is, to them it is. Fake it.
The chances are strongly in your favor that your ex will contact you within the four weeks. If this happens, great. Move forward slowly and carefully. If not, that is OK, we will contact them after the allotted time.
These tips and advice are just part of a master plan you need to learn. If you truly want to learn how to get back an ex, get the plan, take the course, and live happily ever after. How to get back an ex.
