Your Ex Has a New Girlfriend and You Want Him Back - Steps to Take

If your ex has a new girlfriend but you still love him, it can feel as though you are living through a type of emotional torture everyday. Just thinking about the two of them together can break your heart in two. You shouldn't give in and accept that she's the woman for him if you really do feel that you two belong together. There are things you can do to get him back, even if he's already moved on and met another woman.

Your initial reaction when you hear that your ex has a new girlfriend is going to be very emotional. This is especially true if you really love him still. There's a good chance that you'll hear the news from him and how you react will either make or break your chances of eventually getting him back. If you start crying, become hysterical and insult her, you will damage any chance you have of winning him back. This is the reaction he is anticipating so you must do everything in your power to avoid it.

The best approach to take when you discover your ex has a new girlfriend is to accept it. You may not feel that you can do that internally, but externally you have to give the appearance that you are fine with his new relationship. Let him talk lovingly about his new girlfriend and don't say even one negative thing about her. Wish him well and look happy when you meet her. This may feel impossible now, but if you do it, you'll be setting the groundwork for you two to get back together.

The reason you want to appear okay with the fact that your ex has a new girlfriend is that you want him to question your reaction. You want him to wonder why you're not acting jealous or territorial. Your being calm and collected about his new relationship will make him wonder whether or not you too have moved forward. If he's confused about how you are feeling, it will keep his thoughts focused on you. That's exactly what you want.
