Control Your Anger

The emotional roller coaster of a breakup can make it hard to stay in control. Your ex boyfriend can drive you crazy when things aren't going your way. But if you want to save your relationship, then it is best to keep your temper under control. Shouting matches and bossy behavior will only send him running in the opposite direction.

By being the calm voice in the storm you will not only lower the stress level of the situation, but you will also never "lose" a fight. Even if his actions are making you mad, you should try to come off as calm as possible. This will work in your favor down the road as you will catch him off-guard with your composure. This is one way to begin gaining an advantage over him after a breakup.
