To win your ex girlfriend back is to understand women Problem is most men are clueless when it comes to women and it doesn't help that women's favourite pastime is to confuse the hell out of men

Ever since middle school, I have had the misfortune of answering desperate pleas from girlfriends that basically go, "how to make my ex boyfriend want me back" or something to that effect Now if you are the sympathetic soul as I am, you will try to help them "scheme" their way back to their ex's heart - with hopes that this time round, the guy sticks to his guns

If you've been through a recent heart-break, I know how painful it is to know that the person you love just doesn't love you back anymore Sometimes things happen that is out of your control and other times simple mistakes can easily get blown out of proportion

Unlike other breakups that seem to be expected or come from nowhere, it can be extremely hard being in a loveless relationship, trying to figure out if you should work on the relationship, or bear the pain of breaking up Does it seem that whenever there is conflict between you and your partner, that neither of you are able to compromise nor find common ground to work out a happy medium

Even though some breakups seem to come out of the blue, it can be just as painful, or even more so, when you and your partner no longer love one another Is compromising or budging something neither of you will do because your are both equally bull-headed

Sometimes a break up can catch you by surprise, but it's actually just as bad, if not worse, to be trapped in a relationship where neither person is in love any longer Are both of you so insistent on being right that you can't give in

Sudden breakups hurt, but a slow descent into a loveless relationship can be even more painful Are both you and your partner stubborn, and do both of you refuse to budge an inch or reach a compromise

Being stuck in a loveless relationship is just as bad as dealing with a sudden breakup Are both of you stubborn and unable to give or compromise

Even though some breakups can happen by surprise, it can hurt just as much or more when you are stuck in a relationship where there is no love Are you each bullheaded, refusing to make concessions or compromise on issues

Sometimes break ups take everyone by surprise, but it's actually worse to be in a relationship where both partners have fallen out of love Are both of you so insistent on being right that you can't give in at all

Although breakups do seem to occur suddenly, it can be as bad -- or even worse -- to stay in a loveless relationship Are you both hardheaded and unwilling to compromise on issues
