When I was 20 years old, my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me. It killed me. I felt like a husk of a man. I had no desire to eat, I couldn’t sleep, and all I could focus on was how to get my ex girlfriend back.

At that point of my life, I had no idea how to get over a breakup. It was hard for me to concede that any thing to do with the breakup had been my responsibility, and by blaming my ex for all of it, I wrecked any hope of winning her back.

Take this chance to learn from my error. Rebuilding your relationship with your ex begins with you accepting responsibility for the part you played in the breakup. Man up and admit where you messed up, and take the steps necessary to prove to your ex that you deserve her. If that sounds like too much work, the relationship obviously isn’t as important to you as you act like it is.
