Should You Reach Out To Your Ex?

Coach Lee answers the question, “Should I reach out to my ex?” He does so with the assumption that you want your ex back after they broke up with you. Breakups can be emotionally painful, leaving us longing for the comfort and familiarity of the relationship.

During moments of vulnerability, the temptation to reach out to your ex can be overwhelming. In this video, Coach Lee, explores several compelling reasons why reaching out to your ex is generally not advisable and answers questions about situations that people have stated for wanting to reach out to their ex.

After a breakup, reaching out to your former partner may momentarily provide a sense of comfort, but it can also reopen old wounds, intensifying pain and prolonging the healing process. Healing requires time, introspection, and self-care. By focusing on yourself and engaging in activities that promote personal growth, you can create a solid foundation for future relationships – including with your ex if he or she comes back.

Although the urge to reach out to an ex can be overpowering, it is crucial to resist the temptation. By prioritizing emotional healing, personal growth, and self-discovery, you lay the groundwork for a brighter future. Allow yourself time and space to heal, learn from the past, and move forward. Embrace the opportunity to explore new connections and rediscover your independence. Remember, the best chance you have of getting back together with your ex is to respect their decision by giving them the breakup that they think they want. Only then can your ex see if he or she actually wants the breakup or not.
