Write an article based on this "Consider why you want him back. Identify why he broke up with you. Improve yourself."
Really ask, why? Think about the kind of self-image that he gives you. Does he speak well of multiple traits (at least a few) that you have? If he gives you a bad self-image, perhaps you should just move on.  A partner that is a bad influence, encouraging you to drink heavily, ignore your responsibilities and/or make unhealthy choices, is someone better left in the past. Can he experience happiness with you -- your successes or the little things that add meaning to your life? Reflect on the circumstances of the break-up. How did he act during the break-up? If he was willing to tell you why he broke up with you, then you can easily identify the reason(s) (unless, of course, the break-up was the generic "it's not you, it's me"); if it was a cut and go break-up, there maybe something that he doesn't feel he can tell you or doesn't want you to know. Either way, figure out what he wasn't getting out of the relationship.  Playing the field is a major reason for cut and go break-ups. Young men often feel that they need to prove their sexual prowess by dating a certain number of women.  He could simply be interested in another woman. In this case men will often become unresponsive and lose interest in the things that they had originally found attractive in you. Simply not having time for each other will cause a break-up also. Once you've identified the reason(s) for the break-up, attempt make the changes that need to made. If your partner directly told you the reason for the break-up, great, apply that to how you improve yourself; otherwise make improvements related to why he broke up with you.  Don't make any changes that could negatively affect your life. Take time improving yourself. You need to properly make the necessary changes to win him back.
