What do you do if getting back with an ex is controversial with your friends and family?
Cupid’s Advice:
You want to work things out with your ex but your friends and family are extremely unhappy about it. They keep fighting you on the subject and will not agree with your decision to rekindle your love with your ex. What should you do? Luckily, Cupid is here to help you out:
1. Listen: Listen to why your friends and family do not want you back together with your ex. They are looking out for you and they have their concerns. Listen to why they are against it and maybe it will help you figure out whether getting back back with your ex is really a good idea or not. They may help you see some points that you didn’t think of before.
2. Tell them your feelings: Tell your friends and family why you think it is a good idea for you to get back with your ex. If your ex has changed something about themselves and you feel the change will help the relationship blossom the second time around, let them know that. Explain your reasoning. These are the people that care for you the most, they only want the best for you so trust their opinions and trust that they will hear you out.
3. Prove changes to them: When you got hurt from the breakup, so did your friends and family. They were hurt from seeing you get hurt. They will need proof that your ex will not hurt you again. Ask them to give your ex-sweetheart a chance and then bring them together so your family can see first-hand that your ex is different. They need to feel secure about your ex’s change by seeing it for themselves.
