Are you a patient person? Do you normally think short term, or long term? Are you able to put a plan in place even though you may not see results right away? Does it drive you crazy when you can't have something immediately? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there's a good chance that your impatient personality is preventing you from making the right moves in your effort to get your ex back.
  Patience is a virtue and it's never been truer than after a breakup.
 If you find yourself in a highly emotional situation at the moment, it's likely due to the fact that you can't accept the answers your ex is giving you.
 This can be directly attributed to a lack of patience.
You need answers to certain questions and you're not willing to wait.
  Ultimately, the overwhelming need to have instant results is going to make your situation worse.
 You'll get to the point where your ex is simply tired of being hounded day after day.
 Eventually, you'll wind up doing permanent damage to the relationship and any chance at getting back together down the road.
  Of course, lack of patience is part of your basic personality and unless you plan on doing years of therapy, it's unlikely to change in the near future.
 The best you can do right now is to accept the fact that you're not a "long-term goal" type person.
  That's not to say that you can't do anything to improve your situation.
 In fact, if you were to just stop contacting your ex temporarily, that would be a step in the right direction.
 Of course, this is going to kill you, but you need to see that it's really the only choice at the moment.
  Next, calm down and make a list of constructive long-term moves you can make that might help you get back together down the road.
 Unlike the erratic behavior you've been exhibiting over the past few days, force yourself to think logically and plan your moves instead of running on pure emotion.
 Some suggestions might be to stop contacting them for a few weeks, start making improvements in your own life, and develop a more mature attitude towards them.
 Lack of patience often leads to desperate, immature behaviour, and this is something you have to fix.
  Will your ex notice?   Strangely enough, once you start changing your approach and getting a handle on your impatient personality, your ex is likely to notice it also.
 If you stand any chance at all, you'll be doing everything in your power to change your long-term outcome.
