Have you been considering getting back with your ex husband? You would be taking a big step which should be thought out thoroughly. The two of you split up for a reason in the first place so you do not want to make the same mistake twice. Whatever the issues where that caused the split would have to be resolved or the two of you do not stand a chance of succeeding in your relationship the second time around.

Maybe splitting up was a mistake and getting back together is the best choice, this is something you will have to determine. Below are some tips that can help ensure a more successful relationship when you do get back together.

1. Don't expect you're ex husband to know that you want him back. Men can sometimes be useless at understanding human nature and reading signals. Many times they have to be told exactly what you want for them to get it. This can apply to just about all aspects of your relationship.

2. Most men do not like a lot of talk. They do not comprehend why some women feel like they have to talk about each and every detail of a problem. Men look at the bigger picture and when forced into the details can sometimes shut down their listening process. What happens with this is a breakdown of communication between partners.

3. When a man tells you he is sorry and they really mean it, they expect the issue to be over. Don't continue to talk about it or bringing it up over and over again. He made a mistake and apologized and is ready to move forward. Accept the apology and move on with them. Of course if he was physically abusive with you it would be a different story, even if he apologized the abuse would most likely continue.
