You need to take time and have a little chat with yourself. Think back of the reason you broke up with him in the first place. Was he good to you? Was he bad? Make a list of the things he did and see how many of them were right or wrong. If you think that the reason why you broke up with him wasn't a big of a deal and that you wrong, then you could, maybe, call him and try to make things right between the two of you. Explain to him how you feel and why, the two of you, should give another chance to your relationship. Sometimes we make mistakes, but you shouldn't worry yourself over them, because we are human and we make mistakes in order to learn from them.

I have felt this way before but I had to remind myself I broke up with them for a reason. You may miss them but take a step back and ask yourself was he good for me? If not, then you made the right decision. Normally as people we miss it once its gone kind of like nostalgia but we only seem to focus on the happy times. If there was a valid reason to breakup with him, keep that in mind when making your decision to talk to him again. I know missing someone can be hard but put yourself first.

Why did you break up with your ex in the first place? And regrets always come at last to see what you lose. But if you regret it and want him/her to come back at you, then maybe talk to him/her and say that you made a wrong decision on breaking up with him/her. Talk it out with your ex and see if there's still a chance for you to get back together if you want to get back with your ex. You two have to come up with a mutual decision an if your ex doesn't want to get back with you then maybe you have to accept it.

This is normal. Don’t beat yourself over it. Try to remember the reasons and the feelings that brought you to that decision. Would you still have broken up with them if you had been in a different mindset? There are very legitimate reasons to break up: if you know you’re not headed the same way, if you don’t feel safe, or secured, or loved with them... then again, maybe you just need some time for yourselves. After this time, do you still crave that person? Or is it rather that you don’t want to be alone anymore ? There is no definite answer, you just need to take the time to ponder your decision.

Be honest to them about how you've been feeling. Think about where the relationship went wrong the first time and how you can improve it in the future. Then approach them and try talking about it with them. Always be honest in a relationship and see where it goes. But at the same time it takes two people two have a relationship so its now up to them to decide whether or not they want something. Don't be afraid for the answer to be no but give it a shot if you really want to try again. Good luck! -Anonymour Turtle

Many times after a break up, we tend to question ourselves as to was it the right thing to do or what if I made a mistake in ending the relationship. We also tend to or positive and have the good in the person outshine the bad. Which is very good but you also have to remember there was that you broke up with this person. Try to differentiate the good and the bad and bad stuff, think about it. Can I live with this? Is it all that bad? Can we work and around this problem? And after you’ve answered all of these, and you’ve realized that the bad things are you things you consider deal breakers, you’ll understand why you shouldn’t continue the relationship.

We all regret decisions at some point in our lives, but does it ever get us anywhere? Living in the past can be a hard thing, and I always find myself feeling most confident when I am accepting of my own decisions and follow through. I can't tell you what to do, because what works for me, might not work for you, but I can tell you about a time when I felt the same way. You are not alone in this experience, we have all been there and will probably all revisit it again someday. Acceptance is one of the tools that will help you get through this.

That depends on you , I can’t tell you what you should do in this situation but I can help , writing down your emotions and how you feel about them is one strategy you can use , settling your emotions helps with making decisions , it’s youre choice whether to talk to them or not but it would help if you thought about your feeling maybe start a journal , journals help because u can write all you feelings down and get in touch with yourself better , going over the pros and cons of what you regret can help you come to a good decision

Well there is a reason why it happened. Now you need to ask yourself why you broke up and list the things down. It is a difficult decision whether to hold on to someone or to let go of them but everything happens for a reason. How you feel about it and what you want, can only be answere by one person, that is, you. Break ups are always difficult but ask yourself you did and why do you think that you want him back. Then decide if that is what you truly want, if yes, then I think you know what you need t do.

Based off of my own experience, these feelings of regret are often confused with feelings of loneliness and loss. You need time to reflect on these feelings by doing what you feel allows you to express yourself best! Whether it is journaling, poetry or song writing, it allows you to process these thoughts. If this doesn't help, then definitely talk to someone who you trust. This is for gaining outside perspective and opinions that are not biased or involved. Communication and the thought process are key here. Do not make decisions in a hurry and because you feel obligated to. Do what feels right for you.
