I honestly feel like there is an underlying message here, that can seems to take away from the recovery of the individual going through the pain of break up. That is, there is hope for the relationship. One example is, “ How to make him miss you”.
I purchased this book, as my partner of 6 years ended our relationship. We were to be married in 3 months. I desperately wanted to make contact with him and reconcile our differences. But the more I idealized him, the more denial I was about the relationship. I had to accept that there was no hope in the relationship. And that includes focusing more on my self than on him, or what he feels, and wondering if he misses me. HOPE CAN BE INCREDIBLY DESTRUCTIVE FOR A BROKEN HEART. The sooner you accept there is no hope, the sooner you can heal.
I understand how broken you feel when it’s over. And maybe your partner does come back. But you will be reliving the trauma again if after trying all the tips from this author doesn’t actually work. Get real with yourself, and write down all the negative things about your ex. Resist the urge to contact him. I thought that he was the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with. But he made his choice, and I’m not going to play any games with him to try to win him back. Just that fact he left a committed person like you says a lot. Someone who may be good for you may not be right for you.
I’m not saying everything is this book has content which can be a form of empowerment. But from someone who felt completely shatterless and hopeless, I had to admit there was no hope for THAT relationship, and to let go of the concern about him, getting back at him and ensure he doesn’t lose interest.
