You have love for your ex.
You know your ex doesn't love you anymore.
I know this is a tough problem to solve.
How can you induce love into some one? Anyway, whatever may seem on the surface may not be true.
Though your ex has made it clear that he doesn't love, it is still possible that he does have feelings for you.
There are many couples who love each other intensely and yet break up for other reasons.
They know mere love cannot keep the relationship going for ever.
There are practical factors like career, family, personal responsibilities, etc.
that may come on the way.
Just because you love your ex or your ex also has feelings for you doesn't mean that you must both get back together soon.
There did exist a strong reason why the break up took place.
You agreed to the break up.
Perhaps, the whole break up was purely due to your ex alone.
In any case, you must think over the episode.
Do you really think it is wise to get back together? Is there any guarantee that another break up will not occur? As long as the old unresolved issues remain, getting back together will not solve the problem.
You may successfully get back.
But then the problems that were there will also continue to haunt you.
It is important you handle the unfinished solution to the problem first.
That is the reason I insist on letting the relationship down for some time.
This time should be utilized to identify the problems between yourselves.
You must find out problems that you can solve and problems that you can do nothing.
Can you live with these problems in future? Can you accept these problems as part of your life and live unhappily? If you thought, "I still love my ex, my ex should be with me,"then you need to think deeper.
Love alone does not justify reunion.
You should look at the compatibility factor.
You should look long term.
Getting back together may be easy.
But what follows next should be given importance.
When you get back you will be inclined to express love, patience, adjustment, friendliness, and all those wonderful qualities.
So life will be happy for a time.
Remember, the reasons for the break up are still un-discussed and unresolved.
They will show their ugly head sooner or later.
What will you do now? Another break up? You have to take a decision wisely.
If you are in a confused mind, do not hesitate to read good books on relationship.
Or, the best way out is to consult an expert.
Since a counselor will be mature, experienced, you can expect practical solutions to your problems.
