First think carefully at why you broke up with them in the first place. If you feel like you made a mistake then communicate with them and find a way forward

Just check up politely with him whether he is engaged with others. if not , tell him your feelings at this point of time and ask him he is ready to reconsider.

Getting over someone is a process. Make sure that you surround yourself with positive people who want to help. Keep yourself busy, discover new forms of art (music, film, etc.). Also, try to think of all the negative aspects of the relationship, in the end you broke up for a reason.

If you regret breaking up with your ex you first have to ask yourself what made you make that decision in the first place. You then also should way the cons and pros of your relationship. If you find your ex to be addicting or that you feel lost when you are not with them then maybe you should take some time for yourself.

I think you should think about it really hard and make sure that you truly regret it. If you do, you should approach him in a nice manner and express to him these feelings that you’re having. Talking about it can always be beneficial.

You regret breaking up with your ex. This could mean that you need to receive some closure and you want to make sure things end well or possibly you want to rekindle the relationship. I would suggest that you speak to him in a nice, composed and approachable manner and discuss how you feel and that you are feeling regrets and see what he thinks.

Focus on yourself, friend. There might be something about your ex that makes you want to go back, but think about the main reason why things didn't work out in the first place. Love yourself instead of hurting yourself. Love yourself by looking into healthy methods of self-care (hint: a good start is checking out our self-help guides here on 7 Cups!). Don't hurt yourself into returning to something that didn't turn out well. Breakups hurt a lot hun, and going into something that's on-and-off will potentially create more damage.

Tell them it was an honest mistake letting them go and promise them that you won't do it again. Tell them second chances are always good.
