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.

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've looked at a lot of breakup type sites, and tbh I havent found any that have impressed me as much as yours.

Hi Kevin. I'm not sure if this reply will find it's way to you, but I'm not really sure what else to do. I've looked at a lot of breakup type sites, and tbh I havent found any that have impressed me as much as yours. You've done an amazing job! My situation is (in my opinion) unique and I'm not really sure how to proceed as a lot of the circumstances dont seem to apply. In your email today it said "if this hits home give me a shout". Well it definitely did. I've been waiting for one of your email packages to become available, and believe me, when one does you'll be hearing from me.


You've done an amazing job with the site, and I really appreciate the way you emphasize respect and that it's her choice at the end of the day to say no. Some guys really need to hear that.


Thanks again.

Hey There, I don't know if these emails are sent automatically by some sort of software or is it any of you really aware of my situation, but anyways I wanted to say 'thank you', a lot, I'm really grateful for all the advices I've been getting from you, I've been trying to fight depression and suicidal thoughts my whole life, and obviously when my girlfriend decided to break up with me I fell apart, my life started going backwards. In all honesty I really think we'll never get back together, but I still read all you emails so I can follow the advices on personal development and try to be a better version of me, I guess now it's not about getting her back, I just get a sense of hope and confidence to keep going forward in life every time I read one of your emails, so, thanks a lot. The void still remains inside me, but every day I manage to shrink it, those who fall will be forgotten but those who rise up their names will be remembered forever and boy I have to say that your guidance has made me want to rise up.

Best Regards all the way from Venezuela.

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 💕

Honestly thank you so much for your articles and emails, like i asked friends for opinions and support , it didnt work as well as yours, like thank you ssosososososoosososososo much for the advice, i dont know if you can see this message but thanks a lot for your articles, genuinely feel a lot better, couldnt have gone through this break up without your articles of support

Hey Kevin,

Thank you for these exercises. They really made a world of difference in my perception of my breakup. I have ultimately decided to let go of my ex and relax away from love for a while. I always sought out my lovers and that has always ended in disappointment so I'm gonna go with the flow and let the lover find me someday. I have to admit - these Healing Worksheets were why I bought the whole program. Don't get me wrong, your EBP guide was just as important for me to read, but getting me out of the denial & bargaining stages were the most critical thing to do and these worksheets helped tremendously.

You're awesome. Thank you.

Thank you kevin. All your artical was helpful. I got my boyfriend back. You are such a wonderful person please keep helping others.


You are such a honest and thoughtful person i have ever seen. You're such a caring human beings.


Thank you for everything. Since i got back him i am the happiest person ever. And also there is good news you wanna hear?


Nas

can confess that coming across your articles when the breakup happened is one of the best thing that happened to me. I come from Africa where emotional breakdown is viewed as weak. The breakup after 6 years in a relationship with the man I love was heartbreaking. The only place I could find solace was online thank God I came across your work. He broke up with me after we had some issues telling me he found someone else who is still currently with,two months now.

Thank you for making me feel better and appreciate myself. You have no idea how this means to me. Thank you for being a blessing.

I sense a sincerity in these writings that is long been shadowed for money and greed by others.

This is out of character for me, i dont praise anybody through email and very rarely do i get moved enough to give a stranger my happy opinion. But I genuinely enjoy reading your emails and i sense a sincerity in these writings that is long been shadowed for money and greed by others.

Keep doing what you are doing brother. You’ve made a fan out of me and I will soon reach out and try supporting your cause in what little way i may be able to.

You may not know the impact simply sending a genuine email might have. To those of us that are used to heartache, loneliness - its so much more than an email from a stranger.

Thanks again and I wish you all the best,

I just wanted to say thank you for these emails. They really helped me realize a lot, and that my ex and I really needed the break up. Our relationship wasn't really long to begin with and I'm starting to understand why. I also wanted to thank you for being with me through this hard time. You made me realize there really is hope for me as far as love goes. And, I mean things are still weird between him and I, but it's gonna be that way for awhile. All I know is it's getting easier everyday. I really appreciate you writing and sending these emails to me; you don't know how much they've helped.

I just want to thank you for your guidance and daily advice! It’s pulled me up out of a depression I didn’t think was ever going to end.


My names R and I’m a 18year old male from Singapore. I just wanna thank u so much for helping me get through this tough period of time. My ex finally decided to break it off with her rebound because she couldn’t help but miss me. She finally admits to loving me. I really have to thank you man. You were my light and you help me get through one of the toughest period of times. Really aprreciate it man. I can’t express how thankful i am to you and your daily emails. I hope you have a great week ahead and bless u:)

Kevin,
Idk if you read these or if your a real person or what. I really appreciate everything you and your company or whatever do. I've come a lon way in a short time and k want to continue to grow. Even if it doesn't work out im a happier person and her and her kids will always have a place in my heart and soul.

I LOVE ALL YOUR EMAILS AND MY EX HAS CONTACTED ME THIS WEEK ! It’s like you know everything! Every email you sent me has been accurate I can’t thank you enough. I can’t wait for tomorrow

I honestly just want to thank you. What you have built has been a huge help to people like me going through this shit. I’m really thankful have your website. And every time I waiver, I read it and it calms me down. Same with the daily emails. You have done a great thing
