How To Apologize To Your Ex - The One Word Which Can Kill Your Apology To Your Ex

How important is an apology in the magic of making up? Well, it's just about the most important aspect of making up with your ex yet many spurned lovers completely get it wrong when apologizing.

Simply saying sorry is not enough and will get you booted even further away. A bad apology is showing a lack of respect. What do we mean by this?

In a nutshell, your ex had a very good reason to dump you and while you may not see it, don't assume it's just a passing phase and once they get over it, they'll get on the phone and tell you to come back.

This rarely happens. A break up is a serious situation and should be treated as such. A vague apology on your part won't cut it in most instances. In this article, we're not going to show you how to apologize but more importantly, what not to say.

If you're reading this then we are assuming you're in the wrong and were booted because of something you did or said. The key to an effective apology when making up with your ex is being a little humble. Forget about what has gone before this moment and unless you can do this, don't even attempt it.

You see, the ego is such a powerful force and people are individuals. People don't make mistakes - other people do. There is always a reason why you do what you do but it wasn't really your fault. You were just a victim of circumstance. You didn't know any better.

If you believe the above then you'll believe "pigs really do fly!" Let's face it, people never want to admit they're wrong. But there are times when you need to but not only admit you were in the wrong, you have to be sincere about it.

And the secret to an effective apology to your ex is sincerity. That's it. Nothing more and nothing less.

So what shouldn't you say. Well, it's not so much what you shouldn't say; you can say what you like provided it's an apology but it's more about using one particular word. The "B" word...BUT...

Think about this. You've done all the right things in how to get your ex back. You desperately want to be back with them. You finally get the chance to be back in their arms and the only thing left to do is apologize.

You say..."This means so much to me - you mean so much to me. I can't apologize enough...I'm sorry but..." or "This means so much to me - you mean so much to me. I can't apologize enough...I'm sorry but you've got to admit, you..."

See where this is going and how it can virtually undo all the good work you've done leading up to this moment. Remember, you're not in control here no matter how big your ego is - your ex is. It's their decision to take you back. They really don't want to hear "but."

It's insincere and makes the apology look superficial. It's one of the biggest killers in the magic of making up.
