When I went through a particularly hard breakup I never thought in a million years I’d manage to get my wife back. How little I knew.

I was lost, literally. I just didn’t know what to do. After what seemed like an eternity looking for info on how to get over my ex, I accidentally came across a book 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.

It came with a few extras and one of them was a report on how psychology works in our lives. It explained how with subtle hints you can almost mind control people.

This part of the package spoke out loud to me. I recognised these methods straight away. Psychological triggers I had used on my children to get them to do things 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 don’t like the idea so you lay a line on them like “if you aren’t physically capable, that’s fine”. They usually return with something like “of course I’m capable, 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 my head together and left my ex a voice message. I planted the seed of curiosity in the message as curiosity plays a huge part in our lives. Marry curiosity with a bit of psychology and we’re talking magic powers!

She called me back within a day and the important bit was she actually believed she was calling out of the blue. To find out how I was and what I was up to. She didn’t knowingly realise I had planned this with the seeded message.

The day I left her the message I didn’t ask her to get back to me, but I was pretty confident she would. And I was right on that point.

After she called it was easy going to get back together. I wasn’t going to let her in on the secret that it was me who’d made that first move. I let her think it was 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.

Although if it hadn’t had worked out for me I would have gotten the refund on the book and gone to a game somewhere!
