How To Win Him Back - The 6 Step Formula to Get Your Ex Boyfriend or Husband Back
Breakups suck. They more than suck. They tear at you. They make you feel empty inside, as if nothing could ever again fill that void. I know what youre thinking right now. You want him back. You want him back so bad you can feel it in your blood, boiling eagerly. And it just makes it all that much worse. But, heres the thing about a breakup. As painful and debilitating as it might seem, what youre going through right now can be a very good thing. It can be a journey of discovery, one that leads you not only to a better sense of self, but to becoming an irresistible Goddess whose Ex cant help but come crawling back.
My Story
My name is Anna Wilson and Ive been where you are...more than once. I remember the crushing loneliness and the agonizing anxiety that he would find someone new and that I never would. I remember that feeling and I also remember discovering that deep down, underneath the self-loathing and anger, there was something else. A woman brimming with confidence. A woman who didnt NEED a man to define her. A woman who could have ANY man she wanted and that would live her life HAPPY no matter what he did or said. That woman got her Ex back and this book is about how she did it. Im going to show you how to determine if youre coveting him because of fear or love, how to tell what he wants, how to get to the root of a break up and understand exactly what happened and why it happened. More importantly, Im going to teach you how to quit cold turkey, leaving your needbased relationship in the dust while discovering the exciting, fun and happy woman thats right beneath the surface.

You are going to make some incredibly constructive and life altering changes as you learn to be alone, discover your ultimate goal in life, the things you should never say to your ex, and how to start dating again, even if you know you want your ex back. There is no magic wand that will put everything back the way it was five years ago, but why would you want one? The way things were ended in a breakup. We can do better. And with the right mindset we will.

I would step back, reset the game clock and try to do this right - by focusing on me. The rest is history. That was six years ago. Today were married and have a ridiculously happy relationship. Seriously, my friends roll their eyes even as they look on jealously. This IS a fairy tale and it all could have ended if I hadnt realized where I was going wrong.
Is He Worth It?
Sure, your immediate reaction is to do everything in your power to get him back. But is he really worth it? Thats the question no woman wants to ask herself. What if the answer is no? What if he really doesnt want to be with you? What if you were just afraid of being alone? A recent study by social psychologists at Harvard and Princeton Universities sought to discover what makes people shortsighted. They put groups of students in two groups - one with plenty of resources and one with limited resources. Each student was given a game to play like Angry Birds of Family Feud and those in the limited time group would quickly use up what few resources they had for the immediate gratification of gameplay instead of saving it for future rewards. The lesson of this study is that, when resources are scarce, we make decisions that forfeit the future. We cant imagine the future because we have no resources to create one, so we focus on the here and now. Youre doing the same thing with your heart - giving away the future to hold to what you have now, desperately afraid youll never be able to get it again. Value is often pegged to scarcity. If you have something, you could care less, but once its gone...you freak out doing whatever you can to get it back. Like those students without any time, you cling to the man you love because you dont think you can find another man, and are worried that he will move on soon. Im not saying to give up. If you love him and really, TRULY want him back, keep reading. Heck, even if youre unsure all of a sudden, KEEP READING. Everything in this book will work towards making you stronger and prepared to handle whatever a relationship can throw your way.

But before we get to that point, you absolutely must know if what you THINK you want is really want you want. Is it NEED or DESIRE?

So it takes a tremendous amount of willpower to consciously overcome a habit. That is, of course, unless you know the shortcut.

* Avoid his friends * No emails Its not easy. This is a man that you spent months, possibly years with. You are used to communicating with him and sharing your thoughts and desires with him. You want to be near him and to communicate with him. But if you do, youre giving into that addiction and everything else in this guide will be that much harder.

Now, on the left are Zach and Erin and the situation is very different. Erin is visibly miserable, Zach looks frustrated and he periodically tries to cheer her up, telling little jokes and trying to get a smile. Its almost sad how ineffective his efforts are. But, when you stop and think about it - really think about it - which of those two women were you most like in your relationship? Were you always relaxed and happy, cheerful because you enjoyed life and were excited to see what today brought? Or were you frequently annoyed or bored or even miserable when out doing something new? Were you actively against trying new things and did you ignore your partners attempts to make things better? Lets ignore what exactly precipitated these situations. Sure, maybe Zach was being a jerk 10 minutes ago or was getting a little too friendly with another woman. Maybe Anna and Tom just met and are in that happy-go-lucky giggle phase. Thats not the point. The point is that, when you see either couple, you can immediately dissect and understand their relationships and their current moods. You wouldnt want to be caught within a 10 foot bubble of Zach and Erin right now, but youd gladly stumble into a conversation with Anna and Tom. The same is true of you. Whether talking to your ex over coffee or out with friends, the smile on your face becomes an irresistible magnet to everyone around you, ESPECIALLY men. They see it and immediately want to know you. Who is this happy, attractive, alluring woman and why am I not talking to her right now? When you frown a lot and are less than impressed with the world around you, things are different. Men avoid you (unless they go for that kind of thing) and your ex is continuously reminded of just how hard it was to have a conversation with you. I dont know your situation, but what I do know is that, whatever happens, whether he was a jerk or you simply werent amused by some of his hobbies, the mere act of FUN can have an immensely positive impact on his impression of you. But even more importantly, it will teach you how to enjoy life again and see the positive side of things.

Jonathan Haidt in The Happiness Hypothesis describes many factors that impact how happy you are. Among them is the idea of positive and negative thinking. In fact, most people see the world around them as inherently positive or inherently negative, and this is genetic. Some people simply have a harder time being positive in the face of adversity. Something happens and they see it as inherently bad. But its natural. The human mind is hardwired to focus on negativity not because our ancestors were brooding artists, but because it was a good survival technique. If you made a mistake while hunting your dinner, it could mean death for you and the people you are trying to feed. So you would dwell on that mistake...possibly for the rest of your life. In fact, recent studies have shown that, on average, the human mind will focus intensely on negative reactions and memories above and beyond the positive. It can take as many as 20 positive things to offset even one negative thing if youre not consciously focusing on them. The solution? To make a conscious decision to focus on the positive. There are three ways to do this: 1. Describe Life Affirmatively - Practice saying everything in the affirmative. Instead of I dont like orange juice say Can I have grapefruit juice instead. Dont focus on the negative reaction you have to OJ but to the positive reaction you have to grapefruit. You can even take this one step further and actively affirm things, reminding yourself every day how happy you are, how attractive you are, how excited you are to be alive. 2. Observe and Record What You Are Grateful For - Its easy to dwell on the bad things in life and run a movie through your mind of everything thats ever gone wrong, but what about the good? The never ending urge to move forward and get more out of life is built into us as human beings. Ask a room full of 100 people what they want in life and 99 of them will describe things they dont already have - money, cars, success. If you are lucky, one person will have the foresight to realize they already have what they want - health, family and friends. So, create a journal, jot down what you already have that you are grateful for and what positive things happen to you each day that you are happy about. 3. Seek Moments that Make You Happy - You know what makes you happy. You also know what you can bring into your life to make you MORE happy. So, make a list of those things and go after them! Go to movies with friends. Play a game you enjoy. Read trashy mystery novels. Buy a new jacket. Whatever you know will make you happy, go out of your way to engage in those actions.

If you do these things, you will have more fun in life and it will have an immensely positive impact on how you see the things around you and, more importantly, how other people see you.

If you dont feel at least a little happier (heck, maybe even just from the goofiness of the exercise), I dont believe you ;) There are quite a few other ways you can use this principle in your life. Using your left hand instead of your right to eat can help you lose weight. Taking a bath can cleanse bad memories. Dressing as if you are successful can make you more successful. I strongly encourage you to pick up Wisemans book - its an eye opening read. But for now, I want you to focus on the idea of acting as if a thing is true. Now, Im not saying you should repress your emotions or ignore the fact that, just a few days ago, you broke up with someone you love. What I am saying is that, if you act AS IF you are happy for your Ex, you will become happy for them. You know this to be true because the inverse is true. If you sit there and brood about the whole thing, getting angry whenever you see him, cutting his head out of pictures, cursing anyone he dates and angrily eyeballing his friends (or yours if they still talk to him), it wont take long before that animosity makes it nearly impossible to be in the same room with a man. For many women, this it the only way to grieve a failed relationship. Im telling you right now that there is another way - a way that will generate happiness in you and create a stronger bond with your ex. One that will make it possible (or even likely) for you to get him back. Be happy for him - and if you cant, pretend you are and youll be surprised how quickly it becomes truth.
against accusations, frustrations or pointed fingers. Its natural and in some cases necessary. You cant just roll over whenever someone tries to belittle you. But the defensive reflex of most people in relationships quickly turns into an instant reflex to argue over anything. When this happens, men become afraid to talk. They worry that, whatever they say, whether its constructive or inquisitive, it will be turned around on them in an argument, or worse, that youll hold on to it for weeks, months or years and turn it on them later. This cant change over night. If youve always been a strong arguer and defensive about your thoughts and beliefs, the men you know will expect it and avoid triggering that reflex whenever possible. But you can show them that youve changed by avoiding the urge to argue over small things. Dont argue over the breakup. Just accept it and wish him happiness. Dont argue over whose fault it is. Just find your own happiness and move on to try new things. Dont argue over who said what and when. Just accept that there is a new paradigm and you are eager to make it work. For now, you should be avoiding your ex, allowing the dust to settle and yourself to grow into an independent woman with her own desires and needs. But as you practice accepting the opinions of others, asking for honest feedback and trying NOT to argue constantly, youll feel yourself changing and trust me, he will notice.

The simple act of taking care of your body is so profound that it can have an immensely positive impact on how you perceive yourself after a breakup. Plus, I guarantee hes going to notice. Sit down today and make a commitment to yourself. Take part of the time that you would have spent with him every day and spend it with yourself. Go to the gym. Go running. Get a bicycle and go for rides. Better yet do these things with your friends - create strong connections with the people you may not have seen much in recent years and use it to feel stronger about yourself. Exercise is a powerful restorative. It has an immediate positive impact on your mind and body and the resulting selfesteem boost it can give you is intense. Combine that with a few key changes to your lifestyle - removing junk food and alcohol for example - and you can quite literally transform your body in just a few short weeks. Heres a story I received from a reader just a few weeks ago: We broke up the last day of March. I remember because we were arguing over money again and he decided hed rather pay his own bills, so he ended things. I was pretty upset for a week or so but then a friend suggested I join her at the gym on the weekend. It was incredible. Ive always been in decent shape but not necessarily GOOD shape. So, I started going three times a week. I got so into it and the people I met there that I stopped obsessing over emails and calls and started focusing on myself. Within four weeks I had lost 8 pounds and was feeling amazing about myself. Better yet, he was starting to call me again. The addiction snapping nature of a breakup causes huge surges of cortisol, epinephrine and other hormones to course through your body. These can result in everything from an upset stomach to sore muscles and headaches. Exercise is the cure all for stress hormones, triggering all the good stuff to wash it away. The endorphins released by regular exercise will relax those muscles, ease your stomach and help you feel better and get over your anguish. At the same time, taking care of yourself tells your mind (and body) that you have value. The act of getting in the shower, fixing your hair, buying a new outfit for a night out with your friends, going to the gym and eating food that is GOOD for your body - these things have a positive impact on your mind as well as your body.

She started spending countless hours with friends and family instead, quite literally unable to be alone. She couldnt have fun because she couldnt begin to imagine herself capable of it. So, we skipped straight to step four and to forced alone time. I asked her this question: Close your eyes and imagine you can be ANYWHERE in the world. Where would it be? She knew the answer shouldnt be with her husband so she told me in Paris. Liz had never been to Paris. Im not even sure she really wanted to go to Paris, but when she said it, a lightbulb sparked in her head. She was going to Paris. She left a week later and spent two weeks in the City of Lights, cut off from everyone she knew. She was truly alone for the first time in years and when she returned, I almost didnt recognize her. The woman who stepped out of that airport terminal was glowing with energy, vibrant in every sense of the word. Hair done, new clothes, standing straight and a giant grin on her face, she practically tackled me to the ground with a hug. Shed found herself in Paris and learned again how to be alone.

While he makes up his mind, you need to take action to restore your life to what it was.

Do you really want him? This man that you have long told yourself you loved more than anything in the world do you still love him? Did you ever truly love him? I dont ask this to be cruel. I do it because many times, whether they realize it or not, women cling to their relationships just to be in a relationship. They may not desire the man or the love they have long held so dear nearly as much as they thought they did. Maybe you jumped straight into a relationship after another one ended. Maybe you tried exceptionally hard to get together with him in the first place and cant admit to yourself that it was a mistake. Maybe you are just addicted to being with someone. You feel the need to be in a relationship - to be defined by that time with a man. Its all very normal and yet, its exceptionally hard to admit when youve been doing it. Whether because you are afraid to admit that you never really loved him, embarrassed by what it means for you as a person, or maybe you still cannot imagine a life outside of a relationship - this moment is as tough as any moment you will ever face. I cant give you an exercise or question that will make this an easy one to answer. If you know you love him, truly and honestly love him, and have no doubts, keep reading because this doesnt apply to you. If, after a few weeks apart you find yourself questioning what you really want, now is the time to really ask yourself what you want to do next. Will you accept his call if he calls you or is it time to truly move on? This all ties together with the ultimate goals in your life. Too few women I find ask themselves what they really want. There are assumptions. This is what Im SUPPOSED to want. There are expectations. Ive always worked towards this. There are pressures. My mother keeps asking about grandkids... But, when you ask yourself what you want out of your life, what do you see? Do you want to spend your adult life in a relationship or are you eager for something more? Are you addicted to the time spent alone now?

Step 5 - Go On Dates
Wait just one second! youre saying...I thought I was getting my EX back, not finding another guy. For some of you (a lot I imagine) this is going to be the single hardest step you take. Its all fine and good to sit there and talk about how important it is to get out of the house and meet new people and try new things and open yourself up for new experiences, but actually going on dates? Thats an entirely different level, but its also a very important one. Listen, no one is telling you to abandon your ex forever or to go sleep with a bunch of new guys. Its a lot simpler than that and it can have a very positive, very profound impact on YOU as a person, and it often has the added effect of making him immensely jealous. Going on dates can actually help you get your ex back, because it ensures that if he does come back, your will is stronger and you understand your worth outside of that relationship. Heres what I mean.
Forced Socialization
Up to this point, even if youve been out having fun, trying new things, finding new hobbies and experiencing life in ways you havent for many years, the odds are that youve been doing it within a certain comfort zone. You spend time with friends, in places you know and in situations you feel you can control. Youre still a little raw and, understandably, you want to protect yourself against what could easily become a hurtful experience. Even just meeting a new person can be immensely stressful - why submit yourself to that? There are a few reasons. First, forced socialization is a GOOD way to learn new things about yourself. Think back to your first dates way back in high school and college. How intense were those nights? You were probably thinking a million miles a minute and collapsed into a chair when it was over, either out of exhaustion or embarrassment.

Page 30
Dating has that effect on us and its a good thing. It forces you to think about what YOU want out of a man and what you can bring to that relationship. More importantly, it separates you from the idea that you NEED any one man. There are some really great men out there, all of whom would die to be with you. Dont believe me? Go on a couple of dates, be your relaxed, engaging self and just try to tell them no when they want a second date... Its not easy. By going on dates, even when you are still in love with your Ex, you teach your mind to think of a relationship as a symbiotic thing. Heres a story Ive been sharing for YEARS about a woman I knew in college. Its one of those stories that jumps out at you, not because its amazing, but because its so representative of what EVERY woman goes through during a breakup. My friends name is Eva and she had been dating the same guy for eight years...in college. Meaning they had been together since freshman year of high school. We tend to romanticize these kinds of relationships - talk about them like they are meant to be and while sometimes that is true, its rarely that simple. Imagine the raw emotion you felt when you were 14 years old. How much you thought you loved that boy. How much you felt like your life was over when you broke up. How much it all hurt, even when you had NO IDEA what was going on. Now, take that raw emotion and amplify it over eight years through three phases of development and you had Eva the night she burst into my dorm room bawling because her boyfriend, Steve, had just broken up with her. The two had gone to the same college together and were only a few months from graduation, so it was a shock. It wasnt a typical college growth breakup. Hed simply started to change as a person and told her he thought their relationship hadnt changed with him. I could go on at length about the deep revelations of a 22 year old man who has changed, but the truth was that he didnt feel raw emotion the same way Eva did and it broke her heart. We gave her all the normal post-breakup advice. Get out, have fun with your friends, stop looking at those old photos. She was calling him obsessively too and while he had asked to remain friends, it became clear soon enough that he preferred to move on. He stopped returning her calls and it just got worse.

Page 31
Then something happened that changed both of their lives forever - a kind of happy accident really. One of our friends, Jessica, broke up with her boyfriend and decided that the best way to move on was to get back on the saddle, so to speak, and go on a couple of dates. Somehow she managed to cajole Eva into going on a blind double date with her, which to be honest was good for all of us. Another night watching A League of their Own and eating Reeses cups would have put me over the edge. The amazing thing is that Eva was changed after that one night. Whether it was the call she received the next day (and the day after) from the guy she went on that date with or because shed actually allowed herself to have fun, she transformed overnight. She was happier, more vibrant, willing to try new things. She was still sad and she still missed Steve - more than I had ever missed anyone in my life to that point - but something inside clicked. I can love a man without giving myself to him to the point that Im miserable without him. I dont NEED him to be happy. It was a turning point for Eva in that breakup. She stopped calling Steve. She stopped running into him in the Quad. She stopped moping at home and went on more dates. Long story short, it took Steve all of two weeks to come to his senses and get back together with Eva after that blind date. The two are married today and have three beautiful (and rambunctious) kids in New England. This is the secret sauce - the magic bullet that will hit the reset switch on the emotional hostage situation this breakup has created. You dont NEED them to be happy. Heck, you dont need any one person to be happy. A healthy relationship is a symbiotic relationship in which you grow together, sharing experiences and generating a new, unexplored dominion - something neither of you has ever experienced before. If he can have that kind of effect on you when he walks away, you need to ask yourself...why? Why are you so dependent on this ONE person to be happy in life. What about your family? Your friends? Your career? Your pets? Yourself? Discover the answer to that question and you will join the ranks of self-confident women whose boyfriends and husbands would never DREAM of walking away.
Page 32
Now for the fun part - the mini day dream youve been having since you started reading this section. What goes on in HIS mind when he sees you with another man? Jealousy, my friend, is a POWERFUL tool and while the last thing you want is for a man to want you only because he thinks he cant have you, dating other men can be the trigger that sets off all the other stuff youve been developing. Theres a reason why dating other men is Step 5 and not Step 1 or 2. You need time. You need time for yourself - to get away from your ex, spend time alone, rediscover new hobbies and generate a sense of self that doesnt rely on him to make you whole. You need to make some small corrections, put on your sexy smile and wow the world with what an amazing catch you can be. When you do all of this, going on a date or two with a guy you met online or a friend of a friend will not only seal the deal for you, but for your Ex. If your Ex really wants you back - if there is a real chance that he will be at all interested in returning and rekindling what you had before, it will happen now. Its been 4-6 weeks. Hes seen or heard about you having fun, laughing and looking mighty hot. And now theres another guy in the picture? Activate male protection reflexes! Heres whats happening in his mind right now. He sees you out there having fun and looking good, clearly happy for him and happy for yourself. He sees the woman he originally fell in love with and wants her back. But there are two things holding him back from acting. First is pride. No man wants to admit he was wrong. In his mind, a phone call or email is the same as crawling back to you and he doesnt want to do that, both because he is embarrassed and because it makes him look weak. Second is time.

Page 33
Youre still single, hes still single. He can always wait and maybe youll do the crawling back. And the truth is that, at this point, you probably could. You could probably give him a call and ask to meet up for coffee and he would be all for it. But my hope (and the likely reality) is that you dont want to. That urgent NEED to be with him is gone. You love this man and you hope he loves you too, but you cant chase him for the rest of your life to validate your self-worth. You need to know that he feels the same about you and values your presence in his life. Trigger the jealousy reflex. When he sees you with another man, whether on a single date or over the course of multiple dates, his mind is going to flip out. When he sees a woman he loves, that he is immensely attracted to and that he already HAD not more than a month ago in the company of another man, pride goes out the window. Some men will slink away at this point, frustrated that they missed their opportunity. But, if youre truly in love with him still, this wont be an issue because its very unlikely that youll start dating another man on a recurring basis. You want to grow as a woman and make your ex jealous - not create another needbased love trap. So, when youre single (and make sure you stay visibly single), he will come calling. It will be casual, it will be nonchalant and noncommittal, but trust me - its coming.

The Contact
When he calls or emails, dont rush to answer. Keep your schedule full and make him work for time with you. Imagine if a random guy asked you out and you were willing to do it but had a full schedule. Would you move everything around to see him tomorrow? Or would you make him wait until next Friday when you have time? Make the same decisions for your Ex. Playing just a little bit hard to get is a great way to stoke the fire of his desire, but its also a GREAT way to remind yourself that you have control in this relationship. You can decide when you will see this man and what role he will play in your life. You dont NEED him tomorrow - you can wait a week.
Keep it Casual
Same idea. If you went on a first date with Jimmy from the health club, would you take him to your place, make a romantic dinner and sleep with him on day one? Probably not. Youd go to a public place like a coffee shop, probably during the day and get to know each other.

Page 35
The first contact with an Ex should be a rebirth of your relationship - and a true rebirth starts from the beginning. When you accept that first contact, do it but dont capitulate to his urges. Make him earn it. Put him through the first date treatment. Get to know him again for the first time and, more importantly, help him get to know you.
Page 37
* Show Him Your New Dedication to Self - Dont just think youll spend more time alone, actually do it. Dont drop everything for him and ditch your friends. Maintain your new hobbies. Go out alone and maintain a life that doesnt revolve around him. Hell see it and likely respect it. Dont pick up where you left off. If you were living together when you broke up and having sex six nights a week, jumping right back into your old routine can not only short circuit a lot of the work youve done but make him think that the old you is the new you. Take it slow, at least for a little bit, and make sure he understands that you want it this way. Men are not the sex-crazed beasts we take them to be. He will understand, especially if he truly loves you. His ultimate goal right now is for you to be happy and for this relationship to work. It will feel odd at first, but as you relearn how to date each other and be in a relationship, I guarantee youll discover things you never before knew about one another.

Conclusion
The feeling of loss when a relationship falls apart cannot be explained. Its such a raw, painful experience that its hard to imagine a time when youll be the confident, commanding woman Ive just described. Thats why it takes time. You cant fix things overnight. He doesnt want it and if you really examine your heart and soul, youll realize that you dont want it either. So you need time to separate yourself from the tangle of your old relationship, recognize what you really want and NEED in life and build a persona that doesnt depend on a man...any man. The result of this work is often very positive. I wont lie to you. Not everyone reading this will get back together with their Ex. But thats not always a bad thing. As often as I see couples reunited I see women realizing that they dont necessarily want to be with their Ex anymore - that they are ready to move and start a NEW life that doesnt revolve around a love addiction. Its a painful awakening but a necessary one and the next time those women enter relationships they have the expectations needed to thrive. At some point during the steps listed above, your Ex will contact you. He might want to talk. He might just want sex. He might want to be friends and not pursue a romantic relationship at all. Its up to you to decide how you will respond to that moment. My hope is that youll have spent enough time with yourself, experiencing life, detaching yourself from that need-based lifestyle and building relationships with new people that you are ready to make that decision. Even if you have not, dont let his approaches change your plans. Treat it as a friend asking you out for coffee and if youre truly not ready for that moment, tell him. Men understand emotions as well as any of your friends. The difference is in how they describe and perceive them. If you are honest and upfront with him, he will respond in turn.
