Breaking up with your boyfriend and then wanting him back is NOT an unusual situation. It is quite common for women to get scared when a relationship feels as if it is moving too quickly, and then break the relationship off as a fear-based reaction.

As time passes, you feel as if you have made a mistake. You can't stop thinking about your ex, you can't stand seeing him with someone else, or you just plain can't seem to have feelings for anyone else. But YOU broke up with HIM - now what do you do? Will he give you another chance? How in the world do you ask your ex for one more chance ?

Fact is, the first step is a genuine apology. You may have really hurt him. If much time has passed, he probably went through a tough time getting over you and moving on. You will have to not only sincerely apologize, but also validate HIS feelings that were caused by YOUR actions. Remember, an apology is not about YOU - it is about the person you hurt.

If the apology is welcomed and well-received, there very well might be hope for getting back together with your ex... and there is a right way to do it, and a very wrong way.
