Is There Still Hope To Save Your Broken Relationship

The depression you experience after a break-up can be one of the most overwhelming feelings you ever go through. You are constantly asking yourself what went wrong and wondering is there still hope to save your broken relationship? It is very easy to do the wrong thing and once it’s done you can never take it back. Avoiding this situation will be the difference between getting back together and losing them forever.

Depression, hopelessness and desperation, are all very true and valid emotions but in order to work through these feelings you must be willing to implement steps needed in order to find a way to save your relationship.

First you must reach down deep and make an honest assessment of the kind of relationship you had with your ex. Why did you break up in the first place? Was it perhaps just a misunderstanding or disagreement and you really feel there is a chance to repair it? Or does it go deeper than that in which you must really seek the truth as to whether the effort to save your broken relationship is going to be worth it.

If it was a misunderstanding or disagreement, are you willing to compromise and go on with the relationship? Just remember, you cannot change the way a person is. They will still be the same person after the make up as they were before the break up. If you have dealt with your true feelings and feel he/she is the one for you then it’s time to take the next step.

One of the hardest steps may be the most vital step in saving a broken relationship. Go on with your life! I say this is the hardest step because when you have a hard time dealing with day to day life, it is almost impossible to go on as if nothing has happened. But it is so important for your ex to see that you don’t need them back to survive. Find new things to do. Explore hobbies that you have always wanted to do but never found the time. Get yourself in a place where you are feeling better about yourself and slowly the depression and hopelessness will start to ease.

When this happens you can really take a step back and be honest with yourself if what you really want to do is save your broken relationship. More often than not, we miss our ex because they have become a comfortable habit. When you change these habits, it helps you to realize if you want them back for who they are and not because you were content in the relationship.

If after all this you truly feel you still want to save your broken relationship then you need to rely on honesty and hope. Talk with your ex and discuss the chances of getting back together. If you still have hurt feelings wait until those have subsided. Re-hashing those feelings will only make things worse. When you’re ready to talk, be sure to talk about the compromises you will both need to make in order for it to work. Also, make sure you never make promises you don’t intend to keep.
