When two people have been together for a long time, their characteristics tend to blend and some personal characteristics are pushed aside along the way. They also tend to forget to show appropriate signs of love and respect for each other. When this happens, one party can feel not respected enough by the other, or does not have a complete personality as they had before the relationship started.
This situation often stays hidden, until something or many things happen to trigger the hidden feelings to surface, and lead the couple to face a break up. While one party is leaving to find their lost identity, the other might be searching for an answer to the unexpected break up to win back the heart and love of the leaving ex.
Before you do anything that you might regret in the future, you should consider these tips.
Time and Space
Pushing each other to keep talking and discussing 'while the subject is still fresh' does not help in this kind of situation. What you actually need to have is some time and space away from each other, to evaluate your feelings, your relationship and whether you really want to get back together. Being away will give you a chance to objectively look at yourself, your ex and the relationship you had. Both parties can reflect on the problem and find the right solutions.
Be Yourself and Be Kind to Yourself
It always feels hard to start a life as a single person after being in a relationship for a long time, but you need to let yourself know that you still exist without your ex. Therefore, it is important to try to find what you had been missing while you were in the relationship with your ex and start doing the things that you love to do. You might even spend some time with good friends and discuss your situation with them.
Healthy Communication
Once you are sure that you have enough time to reflect on the problem and have found solutions, it is likely the time when you are ready to meet your ex and discuss the situation. You two should sit down, listen well to what each of you have to say and discuss your problems without emotional outbursts. Be ready to make compromises if both of you still seriously want the relationship to be restored and continued. Otherwise, at least you both have a chance to keep a healthy relationship as exes by meeting up and by taking the right approach and communicating well to each other.
