Of all the stages of a relationship, the first stage is probably the most exciting.  This is the romance stage, the beginning. There’s dating and getting to know each other, and each of you is on your very best behavior because you want to woo the other person.

This stage is often called the honeymoon period, because everything is fresh and new. Everything the other person does probably seems wonderful. You laugh at his jokes, and don’t mind the person’s flaws. In fact, you may even find his flaws endearing. Just like anything new, it can be a great deal of fun and seem adventurous.

The next two stages are the make or break stages that many couples never make it through. They account for things like very short relationships and marriages. The second stage is commonly known as the power struggle stage.

This is when the newness starts to wear off, and usually starts somewhere between six months to a year after the relationships starts. It’s during this time that things start to get serious. Everything isn’t as cute and endearing as it was in the beginning.

Each person in the relationship is trying to get his or her needs met, and they’re starting to notice where the other person falls short in doing that. If you’re in this stage, take a step back. The things you’re finding fault with in the other person are probably flaws that you have also.

If a couple can get through this stage, the relationship has a much better chance of lasting. Unfortunately, many couples try to change each other in the second stage. This leads to break-ups. Honest communication is the key to getting past it. Be understanding, and realize that you have shortcomings, too.

The third of the stages of a relationship is where you realize that you can’t change the other person, and you stop trying. If you came to that realization by talking with your partner and being understanding, then congratulations are in order!

This stage for you will be one of learning to be content with what the other has to offer and learning to take care of yourself. If the power struggle ended badly, then this is the stage where you’re likely to end the relationship.

The next stage is that of commitment. You realized you couldn’t change each other but you still made it work, and you know you want to be together.  Now you can move on to a true partnership, which is the last stage.

Many couples bounce from stage 2 to 3 several times before moving on to commitment. By understanding the stages of a relationship, you’re at least aware of what’s happening and why.

Saving the Scorpio Woman Relationship

Now that you’re fixing the relationship, look back at what caused the problem. Was there cheating involved? If you cheated, or she thought you were cheating, understand that in the Scorpio woman relationship the potential for jealousy is very high.

This sun sign is possessive and jealous by nature. It’s flattering to have someone feel that way about you, to an extent. But when it’s taken to extremes it can make the relationship very tense and the amount of trust between you can suffer.

Scorpios are one of the signs more prone to obsession than any other. So if your woman becomes obsessed with the idea that you’ll cheat again, it’s going to be a hard mountain to climb for you to convince her otherwise. You have to be willing to give it a lot of time, and deal with a lot of suspicion.

If she cheated and has seen the error of her ways, try not to be too possessive or act too jealous now. It’s all right for her to know how hurt you were and the damage that it caused. But if you mistrust everything she does now, she’ll soon decide the relationship can’t be saved, even if she wants to stay with you.

Something to keep in mind in a Scorpio woman relationship is that Scorpios don’t like to be wrong. If she thought you were perfect or that you would never do something that you did, it goes beyond her being hurt. You proved she’d made a mistake, which is never easy for a Scorpio.

Any time a Scorpio makes a mistake or is wrong about something, she’ll admit it if she sees the clear evidence. So when she makes a mistake, give her time to realize it on her own. And do your best not to prolong it or keep pointing it out. She’ll appreciate that more than you know.

When you’re making up with this sun sign, you might tend to tiptoe a bit. Because of Scorpio’s volatile nature, you might worry that one wrong move could lead to another break up, this time for good.

But one of the worst things that can happen in the relationship is for the Scorpio to get bored. Boredom, for some born under his sign, is often worse than things going wrong! At least when things are going wrong there’s activity and movement.

When things are plain boring, though, that can be worse to a Scorpio than when there’s lots of conflict in the air. Scorpios enjoy challenge, debate and even argument. So when you’re healing your Scorpio woman relationship, don’t be so afraid of making a mistake that you’re afraid to make any move at all.

Step by Step – How To Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back

Your first step should always be to distance yourself from your ex and this is an action to preserve your sanity as much as it to make a statement to your ex boyfriend.  This step will stop you fixating on your ex and give you the space to concentrate on your own needs and requirements to help you get through this stressful time.

Make a serious attempt to reconnect with your family and friends and accept any help that will undoubtedly come from those who love and care about you.  If you’re serious about figuring out how to get your ex boyfriend back it would be a huge mistake on your part to isolate yourself.  With people around you it means you’re not sitting at home crying and obsessing about the breakup of your relationship or your ex boyfriend.

Now, as you’re spending time with family and friends, find out from them what they saw as the downfall of the relationship.  I’m sure your boyfriend would’ve told you what he thought as he walked out, and you no doubt have your own ideas on what went wrong and why.  However, sometimes it takes the perspective of an outsider looking in to make sense of a relationship.  So if you seriously want to figure out how to get your ex boyfriend back then ask others for their opinions.

Your next move is to make sure that given what you’ve heard back from family and friends regarding their take on the breakup, that you now think for yourself. You either agree or disagree with what’s been said and of course you’re doubtless going to get different opinions from them all.  So take some time to weigh up what’s been said and the final decision is yours.  Yes you started out wanting to get your ex boyfriend back, but is it still what you want?  Perhaps you’ve heard some ‘truths’ that now put that quest in doubt?  Perhaps you’ve had time to come to terms with the breakup and you can more readily accept it?  Whatever and wherever you are, be clear on what you want before you make the next move.

If you’re still determined to go ahead and win him back, then your next move is to call him and to do so calmly and without emotion and drama and talk to him about the way you feel.

How to Make Contact With an Ex

You’re going to need time to think, time to figure out what you want to do and then time to pick yourself up renewed and confident.  Failing to take your time and get through these three points means that you run the risk of any contact with your ex being a failure and a waste of time.  You’re really looking at least a month to get through all of this, longer if possible.

Once you’re sure that you’re ready, call your ex up on the phone and make the following conversation sound as casual and laid back as you possible can:

“You’ve had time to think!

And you think it would be good if the two of you could meet up someplace neutral for a quick coffee and have a chat!

As I said, don’t come on all heavy because that won’t work!

To make contact with an ex you then meet up, sit down and talk and explain your thoughts to your ex as well as you can.  You don’t want this meeting to be a long one, just explain, apologize if you have stuff to apologize for and then ask for a second chance.

You then have to give your ex their moment to tell you what they think.  Listen sincerely to what they have to say and make sure that you’ve understood their point of view, you don’t necessarily have to agree with them, but you have to make an effort at understanding them.

Then you tell your ex that you’re going to give them some time to think things over and you leave it at that.

No hysteria, begging, pleading or crying!

To Get Lover Back Show Some Self-Criticism and Tenderness

Some people can’t cope with break up pain and instead find themselves turning to anti-social and destructive methods to try and get through it, but these methods will bring their own problems long term.  I’m talking about drugs, alcohol and a culture of not valuing themselves in sexual situations.

Break Up Pain

If you find yourself in this position where you’re making dubious decisions that you perhaps wouldn’t have made if you were not dealing with break up pain, then you really need to stop and take a moment to look around at where you really are emotionally.

If you have no one to talk to about what you’re going through, then you should consider talking to one of the professional services that exist just to help people who find themselves alone and in crisis.   It’s not a stigma to reach out for help in whatever way you need to.  Each and everyone of us has to ask for a level of help at some point in our lives and the wisdom is knowing that it is a natural and normal thing to do.

Another route you must not go down if you’re dealing with break up pain is to isolate yourself from those people in your life that may want to be there for you.  Staying in night after night and avoiding people in your family or social circle will only prolong what you’re going through.  Instead, force yourself to re-connect with those who care for you and want to help you.

What you should also try your best to avoid at all costs, is to rely on your ex to help you through this period.  It will seriously do you no good if you turn to your ex when you’re struggling with break up pain.  If you do, you will find yourself very easily drawn into a situation where you might end up remaining emotionally attached to them and or having sex with them.  Sex between you and your ex when the situation is not equal, means you end up feeling less than you are.  You become even more deeply emotionally frustrated and unhappy.  Because let’s be honest here, you want more and your ex is not offering you more when they’re sleeping with you, they’re using you as a sexual release.

Remember this also, as bad as you feel now, and I know you feel bad and worthless – you will NOT die from what you’re feeling.  As I said, it is a perfectly natural and normal to be going through what you’re going through.  It is, after all the end of your relationship.

Simple Tips to Get Your Ex Back

The first thing to accept is that sometimes no matter what you do or what you don’t do, your ex may not come back to you.  Some relationships are over when they’re over and if you can’t accept that and work at moving on, then you’re in for a tough time.

But if yours is one of the relationships that can be saved and you really want to get your ex back, then here’s how you go about it.

1. Let your ex know that you don’t want to lose him/her.  Let them know that they’re still important to you.
2. Make your ex see that they don’t want to lose you either.  You can best do this by not panicking when the breakup is announced.  You might be stricken inside, but let your ex know that you understand why they left and that you admire them for taking the decision.
3. Avoid creating drama and emotional terror when you’re with your ex, if you want to get your ex back, then you have to get your emotions in check and be someone who your ex will admire and desire.
4. If you want to get back with your ex, then you should take some time to get your head together, but once you’ve done that your goal should be to work towards a healthy and happy relationship with your ex and then see if there is really a chance the two of you can make a go of it.
5. Once you get to the friendship stage, you should make sure that the levels of communication between you and your ex are healthy and strong.  However you communicated in the past didn’t work, so develop new and stable methods.

So avoid looking desperate and needy!  Cut out the panic as quickly as you can!  Take some time on your own to get your head together and then work at a positive friendship.

If you want to get your ex back and are 100% serious about that, then this is as easier way to get them back as I know.

Make an effort to be IN her life!

Most women rely a lot on her inner circle of friends and family.  If you’re going to impress her and stay in her life, then you’re going to have to get to know her girlfriends and her family.  If the woman you’ve set your sights on doesn’t feel that you’re making an effort to be IN her life, then she will pull away emotionally.  So if you want to keep her happy, make an effort.

Communicate with her!

If you can’t openly express your dreams and your desires to her, then you might have a problem.  If you can’t listen to her as she tells you how she feels and what she wants, then you might have a problem.  Guys you MUST be able to talk about your emotions and share with her.  This is key to keeping any woman happy, so please try and find a happy balance to what she needs and what you can do.

So the best way to keep her happy is really to be considerate of her feelings, her dreams and her desires and be as open with her emotionally as you can.

To Get Girlfriend Back – Part 3 of 3

But just what in intimacy and how do make sure your relationship if flourishing with it?

Many men confuse intimacy with sex.  Sex has it’s place when talking about intimacy but it is not the only way for intimacy to be expressed within a relationship.  You need to think about intimacy as a way to stay close and connected to your partner. 

Examples Of Intimacy

1. Holding hands in public, if you’re comfortable with it!
2. A stolen kiss!
3. A text message when your lady least expects it!
4. Running her a bath and making sure she has an hour without interruptions from the phone or the kids!
5. Telling her how lovely she looks, without being prompted.
6. Making sure that she is satisfied sexually and not just thinking about your satisfaction first and foremost.

The trick then is to make sure that your lady feels appreciated and is reminded regularly just how much you love and care for her and just how much her happiness and well being means to you.

If you can manage to ramp up the level of intimacy in your relationship, then you are on the road to a happier relationship and what you get back in return for giving to your lady will be a woman who loves and respects you.

To Get Girlfriend Back – Part 2 of 3

So to get your girlfriend back you’re going to have to sit down and ask yourself how you communicated with her and indeed DID you communicate her?

Lack of communication and or NO communication is one of the major reasons that women give as an impossible reason.  Remember what I said in Part 1 of this 3 part series: that a woman will leave a relationship when she can see no possible way forward!  And if you’re a man who struggles to communicate with his woman, then you’ve got an uphill struggle.

When a woman talks about communicating with the man she loves, she’s not only referring to verbal communication, though that is vital.  What she also means is communicating on the MANY other levels: e.g. making love, sharing a meal, a cuddle, a walk in the park.  For a woman, communicating with her man is a way to develop REAL intimacy and a way to deepen the relationship. 

Simply put, if a man listens to her and engages with her, a woman takes that to mean that he loves her!

So if a woman feels that the man she loves is not communicating with her because he can’t or won’t, then that is going to be a major problem for her and the way she sees the relationship.

It’s true that generally men and women are split on the amount of communication they need in a relationship.  Men often say that women talk too much, espcially about trivia.  Which is perhaps true!  

But if lack of communication was a reason for the break down of your relationship and you want to get your wife/girlfriend/partner back, then perhaps look at it from her point of view. 

If you show some interest in her and what she has to say on a regular basis, and in-turn share some part of your thoughts and dreams with her, then she is less likely to feel that you are not interested in her.

As always, this requires give and take and a level of giving!  But if she’s worth it, it’s got to be worth it!
