When I broke up with my wife the last thing I thought would happen was for me to get my wife back. Sometimes strange things happen.

I was so cut up over the split I didn’t have a clue what to do. I needed to get over her fast and did a lot of research for info and articles but what I accidentally found was info on how to get her back.

To be honest I’m probably the worlds biggest sceptic. I was willing to put money on it being a crock of….well, you get the picture. To cut a long story short a thought I’d waste forty bucks on it.

There was an extra bonus with the book that explored the psychology of how our minds work every day, and how you can get people to do things with little suggestions.

I was quite impressed with this part of the package. I connected with these tactics almost immediately. In fact I recognised some of them as things I’d used on my kids to get them to do stuff they didn’t want to.

The old reverse psychology stuff is used all the time, everywhere. Imagine you are going on a run and you try to get a pal to go with you.

They aren’t very keen on the idea so you hit them with the old “it’s ok if you aren’t physically up to it” line. They come straight back with a proud “of course I am, when do we start”.

That’s psychology in action there. You used their own sense of pride against them. The same type of subtle methods can be used to woo your ex round.

I got myself into a good frame of mind and left my ex a message baited with a bit of curiosity. Curiosity is a massive factor in our everyday lives. Mix this up with some psychology and you have almost white magic!

My ex called me back the next day. But more importantly she called me to ask about me, how I was, what I was doing. She didn’t consciously realise I’d planted the seed in the message the day before.

When I left the message, I never once asked her to call me but I was fairly sure she would. I was right as well.

After this it was pretty easy going for us as my wife was convinced she’d made the first move. She hadn’t, I had. But I’m not going to remind her.

At first I started out trying to get over her. I then had a complete change of plan and decided to try and get my ex back. And it worked ok for me.

Even if it didn’t work for me I would have got my money back and gone out and saw a game!
