What are some ways to keep things civil with your ex for your children?
Cupid’s Pulse:
With every breakup or divorce that involves children, comes the decision to co-parent (or at least try to). However, before you and your ex can make that choice, there must be an agreement and understanding shared between the two of you. So, how exactly do you keep it civil for your child’s sake? Cupid has some tips to help:
1. Respect each other: Which basically means no bashing, especially not in your child’s presence, whatsoever. If you are habitually arguing in front of your child(ren), they will soon start to believe one parent is not fit – this could possibly lead to lashing out and ill behavior. On the other hand, if you and your ex are showing respect one another, your child will suspect nothing wrong.
2. Come to terms: You and your ex should face that the separation is real and the chances of you all getting back together are slim to none. You both have turned the page and are now on new chapters. No matter the circumstance, those old feelings should not interfere with your parenting.
3. Delete: Let go of the anger and resentment. You must both remember, your separation was for the best. By staying together you were ultimately putting your child’s happiness was at stake. Think of yourselves as parents before exes.

What are some grand gestures you can make to win back your ex?
Cupid’s Advice:
If you are absolutely certain that your ex is the one who you are supposed to be with, don’t let anything stop you from your happiness. Whether it is circumstance, past mistakes, or a simple misunderstanding, if the two of you are truly compatible for each other, there is no reason that can’t be possible:
1. A sincere apology can go a long way: When in doubt, start with baby steps. Words can tear people apart, but they can also bring people back together. Give your heart strings a strong tug, and tell your man how you really feel. The phrase “I’m sorry” is a good place to start, and let the rest flow. Don’t feel the need to justify every action you’ve made. Be attentive and listen to what is hurting him, and see what you can do to fix it.
2. Show that you’ve paid attention: Sometimes a big gesture is comprised of the little things. What has he been telling you all of this time that you may have overlooked? Put together a bunch of his favorite things to show that you care. Whether it’s a mash-up of his favorite music, that chocolate cake from the bakery that he can’t resist or the movie you watched together on your first date. Go out of your way to show that you’re attentive to his needs and you can give him what he is looking for.
3. Take a trip down memory lane: Sure there may have been some reasons why your relationship looked like it wouldn’t work out, but there are so many reasons that it should. Every couple has their strengths, so use yours to win back your love. Try recreating your first date, or a few tender moments you’ve been through together. Remind him of how great your were together and the feelings that you share. If you’re both adventurous, explain how this rough patch is just part of the bigger journey. If he’s more introverted, appeal to his kind and quiet qualities with a love letter.
