Whether you were married, engaged, living together, or just a happy couple, if things ended there were probably some clues that the relationship was going sour.
Oftentimes we miss those little signals; perhaps we simply decided to ignore them or maybe we really do not see them, but most of the time in retrospect we discover that they were there.
Consider how the relationship changes from the first encounters to what it is or was at the end.
Many times couples will say that in the beginning things were different.
They may say that they had less stress and more time to spend doing the fun things in life.
Some couples will say that over time they simply grew apart, with each partner having his or her own interests that the other did not share.
Other culprits are age, time, and finances.
Aging has a way of changing the things that we find interesting or even necessary.
When time is restricted we find that we must make choices about what or how to use the little free time that we have.
In prior times if time freedom was not an issue then these choices were not so important.
And we all understand that limited funds can mean limits in other areas in our life.
These are some of the basics for a relationship going stale.
But other couples survive all of the mentioned problems and for some it seems that with each new element of hardship come a stronger bond between the pair.
Instead of the relationship going stale it seems that the couple finds their strength in one another.
So let us now get back to you and your recently dissolved relationship.
If your goal is to make up with your ex then I suggest that you go back in time to the beginning of your relationship.
Try to discover what made the first spark between the two of you. Consider how things were then and contrast that to how they ended up. Then fill in the gap.
Think about all the things that may have led to the changes in the relationship.
After that consider ways that the negatives can be taken out of the equation. Decide if you believe it is possible to get back a healthy relationship.
Consider if you are willing to do what will be required to get there.
Then it is time to develop a make up plan. Keep in mind that making up is only as wonderful as the relationship will be.
Making up and going through another break up is not what you need right now. You and the relationship itself need a fresh start.
You will need to consider if you believe it is possible to achieve that and if so you need to create and implement that make up plan.
Be sure that your plan includes the following:
1) Taking care of you
2) Taking the past into consideration
3) Respecting the wishes of your partner
4) Finding ways to recapture what was lost from the early days of the relationship
5) Building the future on a solid foundation of friendship first
This should get your plan off to a good start. But remember, number one on the list is taking care of you.
Get yourself in order before you take on anything else. You will then be better equipped to give it all you have got! Good luck!
