Balance
Couples need to determine how to set a balance between what occurred before and the future. The tenuous nature of the present post break up leads to circumstances where either one may feel they need to behave differently from their natural tendencies. A verbal agreement might assist in moving forward where the past is resolved without damage to the impending path before the pair.
Space
Even those closest before a separation, regardless of the reason, will need to negotiate the space they share. The funny thing about space is it does not always refer to square footage of a residency. Relationships have emotional and intimate spaces where each person requires a level of safety to form in a functioning couple. Initially, one may want or need more room or assurance of stability. This can be a slow growth area and forces couples to deal honestly with one another.
Return of Trouble
Establishing how to deal with conflict in the future must be hashed out prior to reestablishment of the relationship. Everyone wants to believe they are falling into a pairing with their ideal mate. Unfortunately, things never go smoothly all the time. If such bliss were easy there would be no need for things like apology cards, flowers and homemade meals with cupcakes spelling "I'm Sorry." Ignoring future trouble only compounds things, so it is better to address things early.

Expectations Before an Ex's Return |
Communication
Everyone thinks they possess a lock on good communication. They know what to say in every situation and can hear the truth behind the words professed by their partner. While this overly rosy view of things feels right, couples often note communication is the one area they struggle the most. Sharing things, especially the hard stuff, means being honest with oneself and a partner. Making communication a priority is a must if a couple settles back into a relationship.
Find Peace
One of the most difficult things in getting back together centers around peace and contentment. This becomes harder if there has been a significant betrayal like infidelity or abuse. Couples must take a hard look at what needs to be overcome. If the mountain proves too high to scale, they may come to the conclusion they are unable be together. This expectation generally proves the hardest of all because even the people who may believe they are meant to be together may never locate the serene place where they are able to grow as an individual and as a couple.
Expectations permit those seeking to reestablish a terminated relationship to reenter with clear vision and hope for the future. Each aspect requires hard work. Often couples wilt under the pressure of one of these components. If they rush, the couple will find themselves trapped in an unhappy situation which they may wish never existed. They are better off investing with hard work at the beginning while hoping for the best moving forward.
