About Ex Back Permanently – From the Founder
I created Ex Back Permanently because I wanted to honor and empower the heartbroken people who feel lost and confused after a breakup. It was created for people who don’t want to give up on their love just yet but also don’t want to manipulate or play mind mages. I was created for people who want to learn to love themselves again after a painful breakup.
I believe that heartbroken people are some of the bravest people on the planet. They feel the loss and pain of their breakup every day. They go through some of the hardest time of their life.
But they still manage to get up and go on with their life. They still don’t give up. They don’t give up on life and they don’t give up on love. And that’s inspiring. Such people deserve to be honored and respected for the pain they go through.
I, too, was lost and confused after a breakup at one point of time. I didn’t want to give up on my love for my ex. And the only advice I found online was to either give up on your ex or play mind games with them. It was disrespectful – to me, to my ex and the love I felt we both shared.
There’s a better way. And it includes honesty, empathy, introspection, self-improvement and a little bit of soul searching.
Sometimes you should give up on your ex and move on. And sometimes you may have to fight for what you believe to be your one great love.
Ex Back Permanently aims to be the go to resource for both the above situation. It’s not just breakup advice. It’s breakup advice that respects, honors and empowers the heartbroken.
Our Mission
The mission of Ex Back Permanently is to respect, honor and empower the people who are heartbroken and going through a tough breakup. If you are going through a breakup or a separation, you will find the information on Ex Back Permanently immensely helpful, insightful and sometimes even life changing.
Why We Do What We Do? – Our Values
Ex Back Permanently was created because there needs to be better content that helps people going through a breakup. Because we believe that heartbroken people deserve to be treated with respect, and they deserve the knowledge to help them go through their breakup. We continue to create the best articles on breakups and reconciliation after being in the business for more than 13 years.
We create content that respects and empowers people going through a tough breakup. We believe in helping people get an ex back and build a strong foundation to their new relationship. A foundation based on honesty, vulnerability, communication, trust and love. We believe that you should only get an ex back if you can keep them in a healthy relationship for a long time. We also believe that sometimes it’s better to move on from an ex.
We aim to provide trustworthy and scientifically accurate content that our readers can use to heal from a breakup, move forward and build strong foundations for their next relationship. We use a combination of scientific studies, motivation, clarity, expertise and reader experiences in our content to achieve that.
Press and Features
We have been featured on many reputable publications such as Insider Magazine, Business Insider, Gael Magazine (Famous French Magazine), Glam.com, Madame Noire, The List, and GoodMenProject, and The Telegraph.
We also have mentions from Metro.co.uk, Bristol Post, Belfast Live, Wales Online, and MSN.com.
The above features and mentions came strictly because of the work we do at Ex Back Permanently. We are proud of these features and mentions because they reflect the work we’ve been doing here and is a testament to how it affects people’s lives positively.
In addition, Kevin Thompson have also been quoted and linked to from Bustle, Elite Daily and Lifehack.org and Hack Spirit. Although, we don’t really see that as much of an accomplishment.
Why We Got Featured in these publication?
We actually conducted the largest study ever on couples getting back together and staying together. We surveyed over 3.5k people and analyzed the result to find out how many of them get back together and how many of them stay together after more than 9 months. Most of our features happened because of this study.
Also, funny story, one of our readers from 2014 used our free email course to get back with her ex. Right now, she is happily married with her ex and has a beautiful child together. In 2022, one of her tiktok video went viral and she was approached by many publications regarding her story. She mentioned our website and told them how our daily emails helped her get her ex back. We got a lot of mentions because of her. We even spoke to her later on tiktok dms and she was very thankful.
So, as you see, our features and mentions are because of the genuine work we did over the past decade and because of the effectiveness of our website and advice. Not because we gave some quote to a writer to get featured on a generic article about generic relationship advice.
How We Aim To Provide Trustworthy Content
Listen, you are taking advice for something important in your life. And if someone gives you bad advice or inexperienced advice, you may regret it for the rest of your life.
What if you lose the most special person to you because you took advice from someone who does not know what they are talking about? What if you end up in an unhealthy relationship and waste years of your life on someone who isn’t worth it?
It’s important that you trust the person you are taking the advice from, especially when it comes to something as important as your love life. Especially when you are vulnerable after a breakup.
At Ex Back Permanently, we want you to be able to trust the advice you read on our website.
Make no mistake, this is still a website on the internet and the advice on our website is no substitute for advice from a legal or mental health professional. (Read Full Disclaimer here.)
But we do strive to provide you accurate, helpful and trustworthy advice that can help steer you in the right direction.
Kevin Thompson, who is the lead author of this website, has been working with heart broken people for quite a while now. At the moment of writing this, it has been 11+ years of helping people with breakups and relationship. Kevin considers himself a breakup coach who specializes in helping people get back together. He also specializes in teaching people how to set clear boundaries, communicate effectively, be honest, be vulnerable and develop healthy relationships.
After all, there is no point in getting back together if you can’t have a healthy and long-lasting relationship with your loved one. And communication, trust, honesty and vulnerability are some of the most important foundations of a healthy relationship.
We have helped thousands of people get back with their ex. At Ex Back Permanently, we don’t encourage people to use tricks or be fake when it comes to relationships.

Is It Healthy To Try To Get an Ex Back?
Here’s what some of the most respected Mental Health Professionals have to say about the advice on Ex Back Permanently
I really feel that it depends on the situation. Every relationship is different. If there were co-dependency issues or emotional/mental/physical abuse, then no. With that being said, if the co-dependency issues could be worked out in therapy, then there is a possibility.
With that said- nobody is perfect, and people make mistakes, so in certain situations, I do think it is okay to try and get your ex back- it’s all about communication and how you move forward with that. So yes, I would recommend your 5 step process seeing that it is a healthy relationship to work towards.
Dr. Stephanie Cornette, Psy.D.
Dr. Stephanie Cornette, Psy.D., is a psychologist based in Chicago, IL. She has been practicing for the past 16 years and is a well known Mental Health Expert in the area.
It depends. Both people need to want to try again and be willing to REDESIGN A NEW RELATIONSHIP. Both people need to be willing to talk about. what went wrong. It’s not just about blaming the other person. Both people need to be willing to examine their own roles in why the relationship ended.
Both people need to be willing to acknowledge, address and RESOLVE both their individual and couple issues that contributed to the difficulties. This is a tall order; depending on the problems. It’s difficult for most people to do this work on their own.
THERAPY….BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND COUPLES THERAPY NEED TO BE AN OPTION THAT BOTH ARE WILLING TO TRY.

If your relationship was initially a compatible and positive experience for you both, time apart for re-grounding can be a plus. Focusing on your own fullness, self-worth, and life for a while is highly valuable. Making yourself your own best friend will lead to a far more satisfying relationship.
Contacting your ex after you have spent more time to get yourself in a better place, provides an opportunity to meet in a new way, discover new shared strengths, and open up mutual possibility. Relationships end for a variety of reasons. Whether you and your ex being together again is the healthiest option depends on the particular relationship. If you feel you both have a lot to give and receive from each other, taking space to reunite with yourself before re-opening the potential door, is a positive step.

I found you, and today I am smiling, laughing, eating, sleeping
have to say, 2 n a half weeks ago I was a complete mess.
I didn’t even get out of bed for days on end and then when I went away for work I was so desperate for help through this.
Then I found you, and today I am smiling, laughing, eating, sleeping (kind of lol)
And so much more, my outlook on my whole life has changed and I am looking at myself so much more deeper then I ever have.
It’s exactly what I needed to do, actually the co dependant email, that’s when it hit me. The role I played. I was completely co dependant and the moment I realised that, something flipped and pushed me to want to be happy for me, from within, full my cup so I can bring something to the table, not just take from the table.
I’m grateful. For you, and your emails.
I just had to let you know
Thank you
