Making time for each other is a critical step in the process of getting your ex back after a breakup. In fact, lack of time spent together is a leading cause of women feeling unappreciated and men feeling disrespected in relationships. It's hard to "show the love" if you're never in the same room together. It's even worse when you're in the same room but spending time with everyone else in the world, via technology, other than the person sitting right across the room. You need to figure out how to make time for each other if you want to have any hope at all of saving your relationship after a breakup.
Breaking up is hard to do. It's even harder when you're the one who has been dumped. But that doesn't mean the relationship is over. The good news for you is that history is on your side. You have a history of happy memories with your ex. You can capitalize on that history. Of course, the first step is to figure out how to make time for you to spend together. This is important time you need to keep things happy and healthy between the two of you when you do get back together with your ex.
Plan Time Together
In the beginning you might need to pencil the time in on your busy calendars. As you grow more accustomed to spending this time together you'll find that you're planning for it automatically without the need to "pencil it in". It doesn't hurt to schedule time to work on your relationship. In fact, it shows that you're both committed to the outcome and dedicated to making it work.
Planning time together also lets the world know that you're getting your priorities right and that there are going to be times when you're not available. The more accustomed they become to this fact the fewer instances you'll have of interruptions during this important time for the two of you.
Seize Opportunities as they Arise
Every once in a while, the timing works out right for the two of you to have a little private time together. Don't waste that time. Take advantage of them and do something together instead of doing your own thing.
Part of the challenge of marriage and other relationships is finding the right balance of time to define and build the relationship with all the other demands there are on your time. This is a perfect opportunity to build your relationship and connect with your partner. Use it wisely.
Create Opportunities whenever Possible
A weekly date night is a great way to create opportunities to spend time together – especially if you don't limit that time to going to see a movie where you can't really talk. You need to be able to talk and flirt a little in order to make the time truly valuable for the two of you. You don't have to rule out movies completely just make sure you do dinner, coffee, or dessert in addition to the movie so you have time to enjoy each other's company.
Another great way to create opportunity is to notice when one child is going to be away for the evening and try to make plans for the other child/children to be away as well.
