Do you want to know how to save a relationship you feel has been spiraling out of control? Continue to read this article to find all the things you need to stop doing immediately.
Most people don't know how to save a relationship. That's probably because there is no night school on "how to save a relationship." Here are 5 mistakes you could be making that will damage your relationship even further.
Mistake #1 Trying to convince ourselves that our ex was the love of our life. If you ask me, a statement like that sounds like desperation. The reason we do this is because the logical side of our brain is trying to figure out a way to avoid the pain, called "Pain Avoidance" in Psychology. Simply people need a way to deal with rejection. Also from Human Psychology is the phenomenon of wanting what we can have. This is explains why we can't get the ex out of our mind. Mistake #2 Apologizing for everything profusely. There is a wrong and right way to say sorry. Going about it in this kind of manner will only make things worse no matter how good your intentions. How to not save a relationship is by apologizing for everything. Mistake #3 Promising to change for the good this time. Not only will this never work. You cannot not change yourself for someone else. You must change yourself because you truly want to make yourself a better person. You might be able to change your habits for a little bit but I guarantee it won't last for more than week and then you will be right back where you started and deeper in the hole. Mistake #4 Telling your ex that your break up wasn't really your fault. Not only does this go against "How to save relationship" knowledge but it goes against common knowledge. You cannot tell someone they are wrong and expect them to turn around and say, "You know what you're right." By doing this you are automatically setting yourself up for failure. Mistake #5 Begging them to take you back. Grow up and mature. This might of worked on your parents when you were like 8 years old. It's not going to fly here no matter how sorry your ex feels for you. If you made any of these mistakes you probably noticed your ex becomes more defensive, angry, and distant each time you utter something out of your mouth. Despite my strong words of warning...this is not your fault. I guarantee your parents didn't teach you this.
