Avoiding A Relationship Break Up
August 3rd, 2009
If you are reading this article, then I would guess that you are having relationship problems. I would also guess that you want desperately to avoid a relationship break up – and are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. If so, I congratulate you. It is easy to face the prospect of a relationship break up and think that it’s too difficult, or there’s too much work involved, or that it is too scary to attempt. The truth of the matter it this: Avoiding a break up is not as impossible as people may think!
To prove this point, think of a goal that you have had. Let’s say, for example, that you love to play soccer. You want to be the best, so you train extensively. You know that it will be tough; training is physically and mentally exhausting. But yet you do it anyway. Why? Because you recognize that there is something out there you want, and you’ll do anything to make it happen. That is called determination, and that is the first part of avoiding a relationship break up.
But, just being determined is not enough. You have to have a plan of attack. Ask yourself these questions:
What does your partner think about all of these questions?
The answers to these questions will really and truly help you figure out a plan of action. If you know what you think the problems are, and you know what your partner thinks, then you can get together and figure out exactly what went wrong. Maybe he or she is jealous of other people. Maybe he or she cannot trust you because you have been dishonest. Maybe he or she spends more time with his or her friends than with you. No matter what the reason may be, you can identify it and come up with a solution.
So, with determination and a plan, what is next? One word: Support. It is incredibly difficult to completely avoid a relationship break up alone, or even as a couple. You almost always have to have outside support and help to do it. Think of it this way: If you think you two can do it alone, then don’t you think that means you wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place? Because after all, that means you would have excellent problem-solving skills and conflict resolution abilities – which you do not.
That is okay, though. Those skills can be taught by trained professionals who excel in dealing with broken relationships. Seeing a therapist or a counselor together can help to avoid a relationship break up by giving you the tools you’ll need to survive and thrive – and understand each other better in the process. Seek out the help, take into account the advice given here, and you and your partner will be on your way to rescuing your relationship from the brink – and having a great companionship along the way.
