I know what you are saying mmiller, and I agree with you. There is definitely no magic bullet or secret potion to get your ex back. Every case is different. But there are at least some things you can TRY besides moping about getting sad and angry and sad and angry over and over again.
Sure, someone's secret get your ex back formula didn't work for you, but that does not mean these kinds of things never work.
If they didn't, people would stop using them.
It's very very very depressing to find out 2 or 3 years later that your ex was very confused at the time and knew she made a mistake but felt ashamed or too prideful to call and say she was sorry. So she never called. And you did nothing to try to get her to come back except get angry and sad?
The worst part is that you find out that your ex was sorry and made a mistake when she finally calls 2 or 3 years later to see how you are. Sadly, you are married or engaged to someone else. Hearing the love of your life say goodbye for the absolute last time is heart breaking.
Imagine for a moment if she just needed some time and a little bit of prodding.
This is why you should give this a final last best shot....You are thinking about it all the time anyway. Why not do something constructive about it?
Want to move on with your life, but wonder "what if" every day? For years?
I wish I could roll back the clock sometimes, but you can never go back no matter how bad you want to. Take action while you can, because later, it will not be an option.
Hey, I'm on your side!
