If you’re asking the question: “how can I save a bad relationship” than the answer might be, why save it when you can improve it?  There’s really not a lot of reason to try to salvage a relationship that brings you more misery than joy.  If, on the other hand, you and your partner have both expressed a desire to make things better and you are both willing to work together, you won’t be saving a rotten relationship, you’ll be taking a bad relationship and making it great!

Relationships will always have some ups and downs.  If both people are mature enough to be able to have real discussions about what the problems are, as well as being honest enough to accept responsibility for  their part of the problems, than the two of you have a really good chance of making your relationship better.

If one of the partners is immature and unwilling to make changes or even discuss the problems than I’m sorry to say it but your relationship is already over.  You can stay if you want but don’t expect things to ever get better.  It takes both parties working together to overcome problems in any relationship, one person can’t do it all.

If the two of you have decided that you are both willing to try the first thing you need to do is find better ways to communicate.  What happens in many relationships is that one party gets upset and yells at the other person who will eventually just tune out their partner.  No one wins and both of you are miserable.

True communication isn’t about which of you is right and which one is wrong, it’s about trying to make your partner understand what you are feeling and why you are feeling that way.  It’s also about your partner trying to listen and not get defensive or upset, but try to listen openly to what you are trying to explain.

If both of you can learn to talk, and listen, properly you’ll find that things in your relationship will go a lot smoother.

Here is an example of what I mean:  Lets say that there is a situation where the girlfriend doesn’t like some of her boyfriends buddies, maybe because all they want to do is go out and party and all his friends are single so she gets a little insecure when they go out.  That is a valid way for her to feel, but it’s also valid that her boyfriend spends some time with his friends.  If she wants to discuss this with her boyfriend, she will be wasting her breath and time if she just starts screaming at him, accusing him of cheating on her, and bursting into tears.

That is a totally unhealthy way to deal with the situation.  He will feel like he is being attacked, which he is, and she will feel like she’s being ignored, which she is.

A better approach would be for her to find a time when they can sit and talk, when they are both calm and not angry and when neither of them is tired or in a rush.  She should then calmly explain that while she understands that he has the right to spend time with his friends that she would feel better about it if that time was spent going golfing, or to a basketball game, etc and not to a club.   That is a perfectly reasonable request presented to him in a reasonable manner.

Now his response will tell her a lot about where he is coming from and how he really feels about her and their relationship.  By approaching her boyfriend calmly and intelligently, instead of screaming at him like a banshee, she has allowed for an open discussion.  If, after that, her boyfriend refuses to make any changes than the sad reality is that he likes going out to the clubs and is more than likely flirting with other girls, at the minimum.  He doesn’t really care that much about his girlfriend, her feelings, or their relationship.  It’s time for her to move on.

The next time you feel like asking: “how can I save a bad relationship” try these tips so you won’t be saving a bad relationship you’ll be turning it into a good one.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering: “how do I save my unhealthy relationship” the first question you really need to be asking yourself is if you should save it.  No matter what type of relationship it is, family, friend, or lover, all relationships will have normal ups and downs.  If it seems like you have far more bad times than good, and it’s an important relationship worth saving,  than it’s time to see what can be done to make things better.

The first thing you have to remember is that you can’t fix a bad relationship all on your own, if your partner isn’t interested in trying than the relationship is already over, even though you haven’t realized it yet.

If, on the other hand, your partner seems just as willing as you are to try to figure out what the problems are, even if it means they have to make some changes too, and work on fixing them then here are some tips that may help:

1.  Communication.  I know you’ve probably heard this before but it is the number 1 way to fix a relationship, or tear a relationship apart when one or both of the partners lack good communication skills. This isn’t just about talking, it’s also about listening. It’s about the way you say things  and not just what you say.

For example, let’s say that a guy tends to go out with his buddies a lot and his girlfriend feels neglected and unloved.  If she wants to talk to her boyfriend about it, which do you think will get a better response: yelling at him and calling him names then bursting into tears and give him the silent treatment for a week, or set a time when neither of you is overly tired or in a hurry and calmly tell him how you feel, no yelling, name calling or accusations.  Just a mature conversation between two adults.  Which approach do you think might make the most impact?

Of course, the response you get when you use the proper approach will tell you volumes about where your guy is coming from.  If you calmly tell him that you’d like to spend more time with him and ask him to not spend quite as much time with his friends and he shuts you down or makes no attempt to change than he’s given you his answer: he just doesn’t care that much about you or your relationship. If this is the case, it’s time to move on.  Kick him to the curb and move on.

2. Once the two of you have committed to try to talk to each other, and listen to each other, in a more healthy, productive way the next thing you need to do is try to find some common ground. What types of things did the two of you do when you first met, and why aren’t you still doing them together?  Can you start doing some of those old activities again?  If not, why not try to find some new things that you can both really enjoy and that will allow the two of you more quality time together?

People say all the time that relationships are hard, I personally don’t believe that.  I think if you’re with the right person for you and you’re not trying to pretend that the person you’re with is right for you just because you are too afraid to find someone else, than the relationship is actually pretty easy and doesn’t have too many bumps in the road.

When it comes to your relationships, stop trying to fit a round peg in a square hole, instead take the time to find someone that you are truly compatible with and your relationship will bring both of you a lot of joy.  If you follow this approach you’ll never have to ask: “how do I save my unhealthy relationship” again.  You’re relationship will be wonderful and you’ll both be happy.

Love is a journey in itself. There are ups and downs to everything. When your love goes sour, you end up shutting everything out. It’s hard to deal with life when it seems to hit you right back in the face. You do feel as if a part of you is gone, and that’s something that just can’t be salvaged. But life goes on and time does really heal all wounds.

You need to work on yourself first before you can do anything sensible. You try to move on and save your relationship. You talk to them and convince them to take you back. You even apologize for the things you didn’t do or for something that is not even your fault. You make promises that are hard to keep and basically beg. In the end, you put yourself so low that you don’t even deserve respect. And even if you’ve done everything, your ex becomes more and more defensive. The more you try, the further you push them away.

Is this the way to go? You need some self-respect. People will only love you if they see that you love yourself. In fact, you may wake up one day and realize that you are the kind of person that people detest because you just do things that are ridiculous. Love shouldn’t make you look this way. In fact, it should leave you feeling happy. Purchase T Dub’s eBook because he has discovered the true recipe for love. The best part is, you maintain your dignity.

One of the questions that you may ask yourself is how to get my boyfriend back. The practice of dating is full of ups and downs, and most of the downs are the result of a misunderstanding. So when you are trying to figure out what went wrong, here are some clues as to where men get the wrong message and end up backing off.

Many men back off for a reason that seems counter intuitive. By trying too hard to please the guy, serving his every need, in the end you are selling yourself as a doormat in his eyes. The idea is to be respectful with who you are, and how you sell yourself. That is not to say you should be dominant, but that you should say that being someone who is respectable is how to get my boyfriend back. Men do like to be treated well at times, but they want women who can standup for themselves.

Another thing that will send them away is to talk about your ex’s. Men are competing when they are dating. They are thinking of the other men who are potential competitors to their efforts, so when you mention other men in your life you are giving them something to compare against. Again, this is not to say you should not say anything. Background and personal history is important. Knowing that you dated one man throughout high school and college is important. Telling your date that he is a football player with 20 awards, his game stats, where his tattoos are, etc. is too much. Focusing on one ex will sell the idea that either you still have feelings for him, or if it is all negative, you will cause your date to over analyze themselves.

Business like behavior, or conversely being too promiscuous, will work against you. The general ideal is a lady like or feminine behavior. Too much on the skin side can work against you, but being boyish will also push away prospects. You should be feminine, conservative, and someone who is not cheap or intimidating.

Pressuring him is another turn off. This includes trying to get him to define his role and analyze who he is and how he feels. Men tend not to like having their feelings challenged, and if he has an idea that is proven wrong, then it can send him packing.

Another thing to send him packing is to try and change him. You can’t. Men think that being steady means that you want him for him, so trying to change him is going to tell him he has a serious problem. Even if he does not have a problem, trying to change him will challenge his feelings and strip him of who he is. Let him be him. If you need something else, find someone else.

No one is perfect, and no relationship is perfect; but when you are trying to figure out how to get my boyfriend back, these are steps to make sure you do not scare him off.
