How can I save my relationship with my boyfriend?

Why do you want to save your relationship with that bum? It’s a joke! If you ask yourself “How can I save the relationship with my boyfriend?” And you mean it, this article will provide you with information and, more importantly, some pointed questions that will help you achieve your goal.

Relationships are often a bit messy. It wouldn’t be as complicated if it was just you involved, but unfortunately… The truth is that for a broken relationship, or broken relationship to heal, both parties must want to save the relationship. Additionally, both parties must be committed to the process of getting back together.

So…if you’ve gotten to the point where you and your partner are willing to work on healing your relationship, you both need to be willing to be honest, too! This is not an option: honesty alone will not cause success, but success cannot be achieved without it. With that said, here are some topics to discuss together:

1. What issues or problems, on each side, led to the breakup (or near breakup)? The process of recognizing these problems can be uncomfortable for one or both people. Are there unresolved resentments? Are the problems based on a one-time event, or are there habits of one or both people that are causing ongoing pain?
2. What brought the two of you together in the first place? What do they love about each other? What activities and places have you shared that you both enjoy? Sometimes in relationships, couples get stuck and don’t even realize it. What can you do together that might fan the coals a little?
3. How can they encourage each other? Things like strength, maturity, and self-confidence are attractive. Things like dependency, neediness, and whining aren’t that appealing. So what are some ways each of you can help the other become stronger, more mature, and more confident?

“How do I save my relationship with my boyfriend?” Make sure you both agree; It won’t work if you’re the only one in the relationship who wants to save her. If he’s not as committed to working things out as you are… well, let’s go back to where I started. Why the hell do you want to save your relationship with that bum?
