There are many things that could make you think of breaking up in your relationship. Many people are doing everything to make sure their relationship works. However, there are things that keep on coming in the relationship which make them wish for a breakup. Before breaking up, here are five things you should give a try to save the relationship:
Lay it all out thereLet your partner know that you are on the verge of breaking up with them. He/she should know that you have tried everything and you have exhausted all your options. Therefore, before calling it off, tell them that’s the only option you will be left with to take if things doesn’t change.
Be specificLet your partner know what exactly is making you mad. Don’t assume they know what you are struggling with. Don’t be general when telling them you are unhappy in the relationship, but break down every bit that makes you unhappy. Let them know what you find hard in the relationship so that they can change to save it from a break up.
Ask for helpAsking for help from friends, family and even counsellors could help save your relationship. If the relationship is worth fighting for, then you will have every reason to ask for help from whoever can offer it to save your long term relationship.
Give your partner room to talkUnhappy relationships aren’t just one person’s fault. When you feel like you are being oppressed in the relationship, let your partner too tell you what he/she is going through in the relationship. You might improve things to make sure both of you are satisfied with the relationship.
Leave the past behindMany times relationships are broken because people hold onto the past. Be open and honest to yourself on letting go of the past in the relationship. You should try forgiving your partner of the bad things he/she has done to try start afresh. This could seem hard but you need to do it if the relationship is worth it all.
