It's always a upsetting moment when your relationship gets into difficulty, your boyfriend or girlfriend decides that a long-term commitment is now no longer what they want. It can appear like the end of the earth, but there a few basic steps that you can possibly take to try and prove to that loved one that the relationship is worth saving, and that you're prepared to step mountains to revive it.
Communication is a vitally important part of any relationship, whether it's a rosy one, or whether it is one that is on the brink of ending. Talk constructively, discuss your grievances and doubts, and try and utilize these discussions as a starting point to step forward within the relationship. It is fundamental to keeping your relationship together, or parting on civil terms.
Although when things are tense, talking and listening effectively can be very tricky. Do not take an antagonistic approach and tell your partner all the things that they did wrong. This will cause added problems and make resolution of the issues virtually hopeless. Say what you need to say in a calm and gentle voice, and listen to what your partner has to say. Don't just look out of the window as they talk, pay attention and be seen to be taking in everything they say. And even if your pride is hurt don't disagree with everything they say just for the sake of it. There will be points that they make, that if you are frank with yourself you will have to concur with. If you can be seen to be doing this they, while possibly exceptionally hurt, will see if you as a person who is up to taking responsibility for their actions. And hopefully they will do the same.
When a relationship is in a tricky stage, the last thing your partner will need is to be hassled and made to feel they have no freedom to move. That claustrophobic feeling when a loved one is constantly harassing you does not put one in a position where they want to kiss and make up. So grant your partner some breathing space, give them all the space they want, but be seen to be there for them if and when they need you.
Be truthful about the things in your relationship that have caused it to come to this tricky moment. Truth is a wonderful thing, but sometimes you want to think about how you express your grievances so as not to put a negative perspective on it. If there's something you need to say you should say it, but do try to work in a way that will not make your partner feel hurt, angry or worthless.
These are some very easy strategies that one should use during one's life and in one's relationships, but they are exceptionally important when you are trying to save a relationship that is in trouble. Ideally use them before it gets that far, but if you are in the 'last chance saloon' you have got nothing to lose but try. Good luck and I hope everything works out well for you.
