How To Save Your Relationship (Relationships 101)


Unfortunately there’s no such thing as relationships 101 in college. They put forward math, science, english and host of classes, but a class on relationships is something that could benefit everyone. Luckily, you have the skills already to save your relationship and make it better without needing a relationships 101 course.

The majority of relationships, no matter what happens, can be saved. There are a small number of relationships that shouldn’t be saved, like those that are abusive or really miserable. But most others have the ability to be fixed. That should be the first lesson in any relationships 101 class.

The fact is people give up too soon. They’re upset, hurt, angry and it just seems easiest to get out of the situation that caused this. It’s all too easy to focus only on what’s happening now, and not the past.

If the relationship was good at one point, and most were or no one would have stayed in it very long, then it really can be that way again. But people have to look past the frustration and the problems that are happening now, and remember those good times. That’s the only way they’ll even want to try to use relationships 101 theory to save the couple.

To create additional problems, often one person is ready to work hard at saving the relationship. However, the other person won’t look past the bad to remember the good. That person is ready to chuck it all away. And can only one person save a relationship?

Sometimes one person can do it, but it’s not easy to say the least. It’s hard to stay positive and hopeful when your boyfriend of girlfriend doesn’t act or feel the same. It can start to feel like you’re fighting a losing battle.

Relationships 101 lesson #2: Keep fighting the battle, because even if the relationship doesn’t heal, it will make you a better person. That’s because the things you’ll do to try to save the relationship are simply good for you, and good for the other person as well.

It’s crucial to remember the way you acted and behaved in the relationship when it was new and going strong. Compare that to how you behave with that person now. And turn things around by acting the way you used to, and doing the things you used to.

Strive to be civil again just as you were in the beginning. Be thoughtful and be a good friend to the person whenever you can, even if you’re not going to get anything out of it. Don’t force them to come back, tell them they need to come back, or threaten what will happen if they don’t come back?

When faced with someone acting like that, would you want to be with that person again?  Tell yourself that you’ll survive no matter what happens, but do your very best to show them the person they want to be with again.
