Experts explain how to set your relationship up for success the second time around.
Before you can move forward, you really have to reflect on why you broke up in the first place and understand the issues that contributed to that breaking point.
Take some time to look at the whole picture and understand what your relationship was like before and how you both have changed to make sure you're heading in the right direction together. "Don't just get back together if you are lonely or afraid you will never find someone else. There were reasons your relationship didn't work out the first time, and something has to change to make it work a second time around," Susan Zinn, founder of Westside Counseling Center and bestselling co-author of"The Epiphanies Project," explained.
"It is important to ascertain that each individual is returning to the relationship for the right reasons and that absence has not cast on an unrealistic glittery glow on the past," Sanam Hafeez, neuropsychologist and director of Comprehend the Mind in New York City, said.Real talk: There were probably a few major issues that made you realize you weren't great partners the first time around.
