The sorrow of getting over a broken heart can seem unbearable at times. What can you do? Will you ever feel normal again? Are you wondering how to save your relationship? If this is what you really want, then you must understand exactly what to say and do. And above all, you must avoid the usual mistakes virtually all people make when seeking to fix a relationship.

Is this relationship what you truly desire? Is it right for the two of you? Be honest with yourself. Some relationships are better off being over.

If a second chance is what you honestly wish, then the first thing you must do is stop any pushy or needy behavior. When you come across as pushy you give away all your power. Arguing or trying to "sell" yourself will only drive them farther away. You must stop all phone calls, letters, text messages, etc. "Desperate" behavior is the worst thing you can do if you're trying to figure out how to save your relationship. It's human nature to resist if someone is being pushy or needy.

Give them lots of space. Now they will naturally start to be drawn to you. Remember the times when someone threw themselves at you? How did you react? You're almost always turned off. And it usually makes you take that person for granted. By doing the opposite, you now allow them to naturally start coming back to you.

Build up an attitude of detachment. Yes, this is easier said then done, especially if you're anxious to repair things. Keeping active doing the things you enjoy is very important. Not only will this help you regain your independence, but it will also send a message to your ex that your life is going great without them.

This is a very powerful method for learning how to save your relationship. Now you're no longer fighting human nature... you're working with it. By resisting the urge to behave pushy and needy and instead acting detached and care-free, you'll be surprised at how quickly your ex will regain interest. Then you'll both be in a position to work out your problems as equals.
