Can they save a relationship, or are they a sign that a break-up is a right around the bend? You can get him back, but you need to know a few things.Do you know what makes your ex desperately miss you and realize you were the “one”?

Before all that happened, I was an incredible jerk, an arrogant piece of shit with an intellect to match and zero attachments to anyone.

This is especially true if you stay in touch over this break and continue to see each-other, and maybe even hook up, from time to time. Keep your options open (you don’t necessarily have to go on dates with other guys, but stay open to the possibility of another guy being the right one for you) and don’t make the break all about him, you are an equal in the relationship and also deserve to take time to figure out what you want and need. If either you or he decides to pull the plug for good, try and make it a clean break.

Even though you probably have his number memorized, delete it.

She’ll obsess over what she might have done to push him away and will try to devise some plan to get him back. In my opinion, breaks are usually a big sign of trouble.

However, it is possible for things to go back to normal as long as both people use the break time properly.
