How Do You Get Your Boyfriend Back - 7 Signs This Is Not the Best Idea

Before you try to figure out "how do you get your boyfriend back," you need to ask yourself first if this is what you really want. Sometimes we think that we really love someone and want to be with them when it truth we're just afraid of being alone. We're tired of getting into another relationship with someone else so we think "let's just get back to the old one."

But is trying to figure out "how do you get your boyfriend back" really the answer? What you need to do is look for signs that you had a bad and unhealthy relationship with your ex.

1. Do you take him seriously?

Be honest with yourself when you answer this question. Do you really listen to him or do you find yourself pretending to listen and smiling just so your ex wouldn't catch you being inattentive? If you think that his suggestions or whatever comes from his mouth is a waste of time then you're not taking him seriously.

2. Whatever

When the two of you have arguments, do you try to fix things at once so that it won't escalate or do you just say "whatever" and walk away? Sure, when arguments are getting heated sometimes you need to get out of there before you say something you regret. But once you've cooled down you try to talk it out. If not then maybe you don't really value the relationship or each other.

3. He can't let things go

Okay, so you tried talking about your problems but he just won't let it go. You've apologized but he's still extremely annoyed with you. You've talked for hours and he even blames you for most of the things that has happened. In other words, he wants you to be responsible for his happiness and his feelings.

4. He's controlling

You can't go anywhere without telling him first. He always has to know where you are and who you're with. It's bad enough that he likes to keep tabs on your social life but you also have to call and check in every now and then.

5. You take each other for granted

He knows you're just there for him and you think that he's there for you. You never stop to think that maybe he's hurting or feeling down. You don't spend a lot of time together or make any effort giving each other compliments and making each other feel good.

6. Uncomfortable silence

When two people are happy together, they don't need words to fill in the silence. Sometimes they can just sit around in comfortable silence and enjoy each other's company. But in your case, it's the complete opposite. When you and your ex are still together there's lack of communication. You don't talk to each other as much as you used to and sometimes, you can't find something to talk about.

7. He's very critical

Before you come up with a plan on "how do you get your boyfriend back," first be honest when it comes to how he treats you. Is he very critical of you and it seems like he can never be wrong? If that's the case then your ex has a very big ego. You may want to think twice before getting back an ex who thinks he's always right.
