If you are still in love with your ex even though he broke up with you, you may be afraid that your ex will not accept you back. Where does that leave you if you still love them? Should you try to move on with your life or should you see if your ex accepts you back? Here are some questions to ask yourself if you are still in love with your ex and wondering if the relationship is worth saving.

1. How long has it been since the breakup? If it’s been a few weeks and you haven’t had contact with your ex, obviously your feelings run deep. If you are still in love with your ex after weeks of separation, then it is possible that your ex loves you too.

2. What caused the breakup? If your ex broke up with you over something trivial, a misunderstanding, or sometimes even a lack of trust, they may accept you back. If you are still in love with your ex even though you broke up and are willing to work things out, then half of your battle is already won. Now you need to find out if your ex is willing to give you a second chance. Maybe all they needed was a little time apart to get over the initial shock and now they regret the breakup too.

3. Were you and your ex able to work out problems in the past? Sometimes breakups happen because one of you is tired of repeating old problems. If you and your ex used to fight over the same issues that never got resolved, it might be time to leave the relationship. But if the two of you were able to work things out and get over it, it could mean that your ex will accept you again. If this is the case, all you can do is try to talk to your ex and see if he is willing to talk to you.

Bonus tip: If it hasn’t been at least a few weeks since the breakup and/or you’re still talking to your ex every day about the breakup, it might be time to give the relationship a break. That doesn’t mean you have to give that up, but it does mean you should give your ex some space. Go at least a week without talking to your ex. Give them the opportunity to miss you, otherwise your ex will not want to accept you because he will think that nothing has changed.
