People break up for many reasons? infidelity, boredom, geographical distance, they grow apart.. you name it. For many though, the passion dies because that 'spark' that was there at the beginning of the relationship blows out. But why does it disappear, and more importantly, how can you get it back? One of the common mistakes that people make when they enter a relationship is that they stop doing the things that made their partner fall for them in the first place. They take the relationship for granted, and instead of continuing to work at being attractive to their partner, they assume that the attraction will just always be there. This assumption is a relationship killer. At the beginning of a relationship, people put their best foot forward. They naturally try to give off an aura of independence, confidence and self-assuredness. This has evolutionary reasons? potential mates a mentally hardwired to look for these qualities in a partner whether they realize it or not. Too often however, once a relationship evolves, people tend to get needy or become pushovers (many times for the sake of ' relationship harmony '. But no one wants to date someone who is needy or a pushover. How do you get your ex back? It's simple (although seemingly counter-intuitive). Get on with your life, be that confident person that attracted them to you in the first place. Don't be a 'wuss', don't be clingy, and don't beg for their attention.
