5 Ways to Get Back With Your Ex

Relationships are fragile bonds that need to be built up and maintained in order to keep them healthy and allow them to flourish. Unfortunately, break ups do happen, and they are nerve wracking, stressful and frustrating. If you are involved in a relationship that breaks up, you may be thinking that you want to get back at your ex but is this really the best step to take? One of the most influential ways that you can actually get back at your ex will not only put your ex in an interesting predicament, but it may also repair the relationship by showing your ex how important you are and were to them. So not only are these 5 tips to get back at your ex but they are also excellent methods for getting your ex back as well.

1 - Be strong. No one needs the needy, and this saying applies very well when it comes to broken up relationships. You need to stop begging, clinging or exhibiting the behavior of someone who is feeling desperate. Let your ex think that you have moved on just fine without them by acting strong and moving on. When you've moved on, your ex will realize that they have not.

2 - Minimize communication. Closing the doors of communication may appear counterintuitive when your primary focus is to rekindle things, but it is one of the most important steps when getting back at your ex or getting your ex back. Take a break from your ex, close off communication, and let him or her stew for a little while without any contact. This will allow your ex to clear his or her mind and realize how valuable your relationship was.

3 - Be flexible. Do not be forceful with your ex, demanding that they move out, or pick their things up by a certain date. Be flexible, be a listener and a sympathizer. Your ex will be surprised when they see this side of you, and it may inspire them to build the lines of communication that were lacking when the breakup came into play.

4 - Get the heck out! This is no time for you to be alone. Call your friends and get out of the house. Develop a social network and enjoy some entertainment in your life. This may not mean you need to date, or even pay attention to the opposite sex, but you do need to be getting out and enjoying your time with your friends. Not only will this be therapeutic for you, but it will also help convince your ex that they lost a gem.

5 - Simply be yourself. There was a really good reason for why you and your ex had a relationship to begin with, so go back to being yourself and let your ex remember why they loved you in the first place. This renewed self perception of your own self will surely rub off on your ex as well.

Don't Feel Guilty About Brewing Your Own.

When talking about the oldest profession in the world, some people immediately begin to think of something vulgar. However, while we don't care to comment on how long "that" profession has been around, we do know there is another profession or interest that has been practiced as long as humankind itself, and the skills for this particular profession have been passed down from generation to generation.

And that profession is brewing. Whether it's beer or wine, the desire and thirst (no pun intended) for alcohol has been around as recorded time.

Beer jugs found in ruins in Egypt date as early as 10,000 B.C., and pictographs depict wine drinking as early as 4,000 B.C. Much of their everyday life involved drinking wine or beer, and their god Osiris was credited with actually inventing beer!

As you may know from what's been found in ancient tombs, the Egyptians sent their loved ones to the afterlife with many items they thought would bring them comfort and be used, and this included beer and wine. So even after they were dead, the Egyptians still enjoyed a good belt every now and again!

In many parts of Asia, there was wine drinking as part of everyday life, although their wines were typically made of a rice base rather than grapes and other fruits used today. Some historians claim records of Asian drinking habits dating as far back as 400 B.C.

Ancient Babylon was known for its zest and love of life, and this includes their love of alcohol. Even writings in the Bible depict the Babylonians as being those who loved drinking along with feasts and large banquets. Wine was a part of everyday meals and even used for its medicinal purposes.

Virtually every culture in the world has a history or legacy of beer or wine, and many viewed it as just another dietary staple, along with bread and meat.

So if you're someone interested in home brewing, rest assured that you are not alone. This is nothing "bad" or anything to be ashamed of. Some of your friends may not understand your pursuit and may wonder if you're trying to hide something from the government by brewing your own beer in the basement, but you and I both know this just isn't the case. Brewing beer and wine has been long enjoyed by people everywhere, and can truly be called, if not "the" oldest profession in the world, certainly one of the oldest!
