Right. Before we begin going through this book in earnest, I would just like to say: I know what you’re going through, I have been down that road before.

The reason you’re here is quite simple, you’ve broken up with your ex, and now you want to get him/ her back, and you will do anything to do this. Before you even go down that road though, you should be absolutely certain that’s exactly what you want.

If revenge is your game, I would suggest you look elsewhere, because I do not advocate revenge in any way – no matter what the provocation (refer to the section: Revenge isn’t all it’s cracked up to be”).

If, however, you really do want your ex back, you will be happy to know that this book is completely dedicated to that goal.

Just about everything in this book comes from my own personal experience of breaking up and getting back together again, along with some valuable insights from my friends who have also been down the same road themselves.

So, the first thing that you need to know is that you are not alone. This happens to just about everyone at least once in their relationship, and it is nothing to shy away from.

Accept the fact that the unthinkable happened and that you are now not in a steady, stable and happy relationship. Once you do this you can move on to the more important aspects of trying to get back together with your ex.

Be warned before you begin that this is not going to be a simple task. The thrill of first getting to know each other has long gone and you will now be privy to some of each other’s best and worst aspects.

This can be a two-edged sword as you will find out, because now you will have to work doubly hard to win your ex back.

Now, to get back to the reason why you’re here reading this book: to get your ex back of course, I can hear you say.

Well, in order to accomplish this there are a few things that you need to do, most of which I have either outlined or gone into detail, within the pages of this book.

And the very first thing that you need to do in order to accomplish this very admirable goal is to decide exactly why you want him/ her back.

Is it because you still love your ex? Or is it because you simply cannot do without that person and your life won’t be the same without them? Or maybe it’s because you finally found a soul mate and you’re not willing to lose that special bond you know that you have forged.

It can be any one of these reasons or it can be all of these and more. There are many, many reasons why people get together and stick together and it would be truly impossible to cover all of these adequately in one book.

The main thing that you need to do as I said, is decide for yourself why you want your ex back, and whether you want your ex back. These are two very important questions and I have covered them in the section entitled, “It’s crunch time”.

Without this self knowledge, you will mostly be fighting a losing battle from both fronts, that of yourself and your ex.

It is to avoid this pitfall that I have posed these questions to you, questions that you might not have necessarily posed for yourself without some prompting. So think of this is book as the prompting from a good friend.
