Sending your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend poems about getting back together might seem like the right thing to do, but it's probably not. Why? Because when it comes to relationships, what seems like the "right thing to do" is often totally wrong!

We're much better off doing what seems "counterintuitive." In other words, when we feel like calling our ex is when we should put down the phone. When we most desire to express our feelings is when we should just keep quiet.

Attempting to salvage a relationship can be hard to do. What if we make the wrong move and lose the love of our life forever? Isn't it best to just express our feelings openly and honestly? Absolutely not! It might seem strange, but doing what "feels wrong" often works wonders.

For example, if you want to get back together, the first thing you need to do is admit the break up. Even agree with it. This might be hard to do, but you need to give your ex some time and space away from you. This is the only way they'll ever begin to miss you. Right now they're probably mad at you.

In fact, you should probably break off all communication. That's right. Nothing. And definitely no poems about getting back together. This is the only way your ex will ever get over the reasons behind the initial break up. And it's good for you too. You'll be able to see things more clearly.

Of course, at some point you and your ex will need to meet again and talk. But by following the advice above you have set the stage for a truly powerful re-connection.

There are many strategies and techniques that are very effective at rekindling a seemingly broken romance. Unfortunately, most people do the exact opposite. Ever wonder why the divorce rate is so high?
