Think the law of attraction will help you get your ex back? Think again. Discover why science debunks this myth—and what you actually need to do to rebuild the relationship.
Can You Get Your Ex Back Using the Law of Attraction?
Can you really get your ex back using the law of attraction?
Does it even work? And can you actually use it to bring your ex partner back into your life?
Before we answer that, let’s first understand what the law of attraction actually is—especially as it’s been popularized by books like The Secret or The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.
What Is the Law of Attraction?
You may have experienced something like this:
You think about a friend—and suddenly, they call you.
It feels like more than coincidence, right? Like you somehow attracted that person with your thoughts.
But let’s take a closer look at what’s really happening.
Most of the time, neither of you is thinking about each other, and nothing happens.
Sometimes your friend calls you when you’re not thinking about them.
Other times, you think about them—but they don’t call.
But if you’ve known each other long enough, eventually those two situations will overlap.
You’ll think about your friend… and they’ll call at that exact moment.
Does that mean you attracted them?
No.
That’s simply coincidence.
In fact, it would be strange if situations like that never happened.
Why People Believe in the Law of Attraction
The truth is, our brains hate randomness.
We’re wired to look for meaning—even where there is none.
That’s why so many people say, “There are no coincidences.”
But in reality, this is a very common cognitive bias.
We tend to assign meaning to random events because it gives us a sense of control and understanding.
The Law of Large Numbers
There’s another powerful illusion that reinforces belief in the law of attraction: the law of large numbers.
Imagine this:
One day, completely out of nowhere, you think about someone you met 15 or 20 years ago. Someone you haven’t had contact with since.
And then—on that exact same day—they call you.
Is that proof that the law of attraction works?
Not at all.
This is a perfect example of probability.
Yes, the chances of this happening are extremely low.
But when you multiply that small probability by billions of people on this planet, it turns out that events like this happen every single day.
That’s just math.
It would actually be strange if unlikely events like this never happened.
But when it happens to you, your brain tries to assign meaning to it.
And that’s why people believe in the law of attraction.
Anecdotes vs Reality
When someone experiences a coincidence like this and tells the story to others—or writes about it in a book—it becomes anecdotal “evidence.”
But anecdotal evidence can prove anything—even completely contradictory ideas.
There’s an entire field of science dedicated to studying these kinds of phenomena.
And the conclusion is clear:
Your thoughts do not attract events or people.
If you want to explore this topic further, I highly recommend the book Quirkology by Richard Wiseman.
Will the Law of Attraction Help You Get Your Ex Back?
Now let me say this very clearly:
The law of attraction does not work—and it will not help you get your ex back.
In fact, it can actually hurt your chances.
Why?
Because getting your ex back is not about thinking or visualizing.
It’s a process that requires real effort.
You need to:
Work on yourself
Develop key relationship skills
Understand what caused the breakup
Learn the right strategy
Avoid critical mistakes along the way
This is an active process.
Simply imagining how great it would be to get back together won’t move you even one step closer to that outcome.
My Personal Experience with the Law of Attraction
If you’ve believed in the law of attraction before—just like I did—you’re not alone.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
It doesn’t say anything about your intelligence.
We all grow up surrounded by ideas that we accept without questioning.
That’s normal.
Becoming more aware and more mature means questioning those beliefs and being willing to change them.
I also read The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, and like many people, I was impressed at first.
But over time, I began to understand how these ideas actually work—and why they feel convincing.
I learned about cognitive biases, about how stories are used to create the illusion of proof, and how easily we can be misled.
And today I know that the law of attraction has no real scientific foundation.
It’s based almost entirely on anecdotal stories—not evidence.
