You would have surely heard this expert advice: stay away from your ex if you want to get your ex back. But this can be very vague. Just how long should you maintain this distance and how long does it take to really win back an ex lover?

Undoubtedly this is one of the toughest questions and no one can really confirm the exact time it takes to win back someone’s heart. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that it takes a long time during which you have to hold your patience.

Considering that everyone is different, the exact time someone takes to come around a dirty break up is impossible to guess. The only thing you have to bank on is the truth that time heals all wounds, no matter for who and for which circumstances.

Some people have the ability to cope up with mental trauma and after a break up these people simply brush aside all negative emotions and get on with their lives. Yet there are also people who crumble under pressure. The only thing to do is to give each other time so as to be able to think rationally once more. But in the meantime, you too should try to get on with your life.

As your ex goes through the recovery process, you too are taking your own time to unveil several truths and come to terms with your life and the past relationship. To do this successfully, keep yourself as busy as possible instead of moaning and moping.

Remaining happy is a basic right and do not deny yourself from this simple pleasure. Be with positive-minded people and do things that relax you and keep you in lighter spirits.

It is also a good idea to discuss the matter of reconciliation first with your ex’s close friends just to check the kind of mood your ex is in, before you start to initiate the process. Hopefully, with time, things would look more positive and you would be able to get your ex back sooner than you thought.
