As you are limping around emotionally wounded from yet another heated "discussion" about why you can't remember to take out the trash more than once a month, it may be time to re-evaluate exactly why this problem occurs what seems to be all the time and why it seems to be such a "hot button" for you. Is the argument really about trash? Do you seem to be drifting farther and farther apart? If you are already sleeping on your buddy's lumpy couch and asking yourself, "What should I do to get my ex back", here is the key. This is the secret code that will make life better.
Say you're sorry. Then say it was all your fault. Then say you're sorry one more time. Now, chances are that won't work for having another girlfriend or boyfriend in the shadows, but it will work for many a "heated discussion".
Maybe you weren't wrong. Maybe you thought this time was the time to make a stand. Make a point about all the other things you do for the relationship-there are of course, many. Make sure you don't forget to mention all of your partner's shortcomings for the last six months. Let's see, did you mention ALL 135 of them?
What exactly did you get out the the "heated discussion" other than winning? Hmmmmm....you got to sleep on the couch! You got to hug the pillow! But your pride is intact. Hopefully, your pride will keep you warm at night.
Being a bit humble in a relationship will go a long was towards increasing its longevity. There are times when compromise or complete capitulation will be needed. Do what you have to do, just make sure the consequences are worth it.
Sometimes the answer to, "What should I do to get my ex back" will be a bit more complicated. But for the little disagreements that inevitably occur in a relationship, just say you're sorry, and move on.
