When your relationship ends without your permission or against your wishes, the last thing you want to do is give up. If you are still in love with your ex or have strong feelings about a future together then you're not really interested in ideas of letting go and ending the relationship. But, is that always the best answer for you? Are there times when the best answer is to NOT get your ex back?

Unfortunately, the answer to the question is sometimes a big NO. There are times when it would be better and healthier for both parties involved to just go their separate ways and walk away from each other. You might not be happy hearing this, but it is true and it can actually save you from more pain and hurt in the future. The question is, how would you know if it's time to raise the white flag and end the relationship? How can you be sure that by walking away, you are making the right decision?

This is not an easy question to answer, no matter how smart one is. It would be great if we have all the answers to everything, if we could just have someone read our future and tell us if a relationship is bound to fail or not, before we get ourselves into investing heavily in it. But that's just not the way life works. "No pain, no gain" as they say, and you can actually learn from this. Ending a relationships is not as bad as it seems, if you keep an open mind, there are a lot of lessons that you can actually pick up from your failed relationship that could help you in your next one. Still, that doesn't hide the fact that ending everything won't be a walk in the park for you. So, you ask yourself, "How will I know if I should get my ex back? Here are some questions that you can ask yourself.

1)Does your ex make you feel better about yourself as a person?

2)Do you feel happy when you're with your ex - truly happy?

3.Do you bring out the best in each other and allow each other to grow?
