Getting back together after a break up is never easy.
You and your ex are really mad with each other, and probably embarrassed at the way you acted during the argument that caused your relationship to fall apart.
If you make contact with each other at this stage, you'll feel really awkward and tense in each other's company.
So, the solution to this problem is to simply leave each other alone for a while to think things over.
The thing is, anyone who is having an argument with someone else usually ends up saying stupid things that they don't really mean.
This is more than likely what happened between you and your ex.
It takes a little time to get to the stage when you can actually speak comfortably about getting back together after a break up - it doesn't happen overnight, so you need to have patience to succeed at what you are trying to achieve.
Positive things can also come about after a break up.
Because you are staying away from each other for a while, it gives you both the time to think about the problems that you have in your relationship.
This is also the perfect time to think about the things that you do that could harm your relationship, and how to fix these problems so that they don't happen again.
By the time you and your ex DO get together to talk things over, the tension between the two of you will have disappeared, and you are probably starting to miss having each other around.
This is good, because, when you talk about the problems you have, you will both be more than willing to work together to fix them so that they don't cause trouble in your relationship again.
Time is a great healer, and it really isn't that difficult to stay away from your ex for a short time, knowing that when that time has passed, the feelings you have for each other will more than likely be even stronger than before.
Also, you will have a clearer picture as to what the problems are in your relationship, and will be able to fix them easily.
