If you didn’t do anything unforgivable and you realize how much you truly want to be with that person, you can do a few things to try and get them back. Just know that you’ll have to work on it and you’ll have to continue to work on being a better partner if you do get them back.
1. Admit your mistakes. You have to own up to the wrong you’ve done. You can’t just expect your ex to take you back if you ignore the fact that you messed up. Admit your mistakes.
2. Give them an honest apology. Sit them down and actually apologize from the heart. If you truly want them back, then you really are sorry. If you’re just saying sorry for the sake of getting back together and you don’t really mean it, they’ll be able to tell.
3. Answer any questions they have. They’re entitled to some questions when you did something to mess up that badly. Let them sit down and discuss it with you. Answer their questions fully and honestly.
4. Give them time to cool down. They’ll probably be pretty upset for a while if what you did was bad enough to make them want to leave you. That’s okay. Tell him how sorry you are and then give them some space.
5. Show them how much you’re sorry. Actions definitely speak louder than words. Sometimes it’s not enough to just tell them you’re sorry. You’ll have to go above and beyond to prove you mean what you say.
6. Do some self-reflecting. You might want to get to the bottom of why you’re jealous in the first place. Most of the time, that has nothing to do with your significant other and everything to do with your own problems. Figure out if you have some issues and then work on bettering yourself so you can be the partner someone else deserves.
