HOW TO
GET BACK TOGETHER AFTER A SPLIT
Breakups are hard, but sometimes, they don’t mean a relationship is truly over.
Two relationship experts -- Dr. Jenn Mann & Dr. Ava Caldwell -- share some helpful tips for rekindling a romance.
“First, make sure to work through old resentments. Process hurt feelings and unresolved issues together, if necessary, with a couple's therapist” -- Dr. Jenn Mann
“Create a boundary box filled with acts that establish their comfort zones & deal-breakers. You can’t blame someone for crossing a boundary that they didn’t know existed” -- Dr. Ava Caldwell
“Take the time to evaluate what caused the relationship problems in the past and make a concrete plan that will help you avoid the same mistakes.” -- Dr. Jenn Mann
“Make connection a priority in your relationship. Take the time to talk face-to-face without any distractions, including your phone, for a minimum of 20 minutes at night.” -- Dr. Jenn Mann
At the end of the day, if you want to be together, you’ll have to put in the work! Make sure it’s worth it!
