Winning back a lost love can be an uphill battle. Particularly if you've reached a point in your life where you wonder what might have been, had you taken that other path.
Maybe you thought the grass was greener. Maybe there was a litany of things you did wrong, or they did wrong, that drove you apart. Maybe you just miss a time you've idealized in your memory, putting gold pixie dust on cherished memories. If you want to move past the pixie dust and self delusion, follow these tips.
Be aware of what you've got. Everyone has relationships, those relationships are the ties that bind us together as families and societies. Make sure that what you're potentially giving up is worth what you're going after. Don't repeat the mistakes of the past by giving up something good now for something that you think might be better.
If you don't want to spend your life looking backwards at your old choices, make a conscious effort to look at the life and the love you have now. It's better to love who you're with and make that work than to live a life of regret over a sequence of lost loves given up to short sighted goals.
It's also worthwhile to ask if they've moved on. Quite honestly, time wounds all heels, and heals all wounds. Just because you're not happy with your present partner and are longing for what you gave up doesn't mean they're feeling the same way about you. Trying to re-open a dormant relationship could hurt both of you.
Look to see if they're content. If they are, let them go and let them be. It's not an easy decision to make, but it's the right one for everyone involved.
Third, understand that people change over time. Things may have happened in both of your lives that may have made you very different people. Dont do this to try and relive what once was. Try to win back lost love because you believe that your future will be better than your present and even your past with this person.
If, after all of these cautions, you still go into this...go slowly. They aren't expecting you to appear back in their life. They aren't expecting you to try and take up your old position in their life. No matter how much you want that old position, be careful.
Take your time and dont let them know how badly you want them back, at least not for a while. Take the time to get to know them again and for them to get to know you.
As with any relationship, look forward. Forgive the past, learn from the past, and let it lie on its own. What matters is proving that the future you can have together is worth pursuing.
You need to make the most of the chances you're given, and you need to focus on what you (and they) stand to gain from linking up again. Take advantage of today, so that tomorrow is not full of regrets for choices left unmade. If you're going to have a chance at making this love work again, you need to live in the moment, not the past.
