Memories of an ex are really a very powerful emotion. They are usually negative in nature, and the terms or the reasons of breakups usually define the action to be taken. Accept your mistakes, ascertain your ex's mistakes, and learn from them. You may even feel motivated from it later onwards, just like I do. I went ahead to enjoy more, while getting rid of most of my addictions and grumpy behavior. What's lost can't be reclaimed, and that person wasn't meant for ya.

Get up the courage to tell him or her whatever you're feeling and see if maybe they feel the same way. If they don't then understand you're still a wonderful person no matter what. They might be understanding.

Talk to a family member or a friend or even your ex about it. Your family and friends may have more experience over breakups then you do. Your ex may even feel the same way.

Breakups are tough, and after breaking up, it can come to you that it was not worth it. You can try to reach out to your ex, and talk it out. Communication in a relationship is very important, and you shouldn't have to be regretting it and worrying about it alone. After talking it out, it may be clear that you guys were never meant to break up and can fight through things together

Ending a relationship is hard, whether it was your decision or the other person’s decision. You may be dealing with painful emotions and want to deal with those feelings as quickly as possible. There are several ways that you can work through your painful emotions and start to move on, such as writing about your feelings, allowing yourself to grieve, and being cautious about rebound relationships. Keep in mind that getting over a breakup takes time and patience. If things don’t seem to get better with time, remember that you can always turn to friends, family, or even a mental health professional for support.

First I would take a step back and go over the reasons you are feeling this regret. What are the things you are regretting? Are you missing and regretting for the right reasons or is it more of a loneliness and the missing the companionship?? Also, try to remember the reasons for the break up in the first place. IF you can come to the conclusion that you are truly missing your ex and you feel like maybe breaking up was in haste, perhaps you should try contacting your ex to see how they are feeling about the break up? Be prepared though, a break up is hurtful and they might not be receptive to the thought of reconciling. You may be faced with the harsh realization that the relationship is over. However, they might be missing you too. If you feel like the break up was not in the best interest of you both, then reach out and give it a shot.

Find the reasons for it and check whether you have taken that decision in frustration or angry mood. If not then list out the thing why you missing him/her. Then think are you doing justice to yourself and taking right decision. Always remember your happiness comes first but respect the feelings of other.

If you broke up with your ex due to a negative reason (i.e. cheating on you, abusing you, etc..) then you most definitely should not regret breaking up with your ex. If there wasn't really a particular reason, then you should just try to talk things out with your ex.
