Relationships have lots of ups and downs for a lot of reasons and sometimes even break ups can turn out to be temporary. When a relationship ends prematurely step back and consider why and whether or not there’s still hope for a resolution. A lot depends on the reasons for the split and whether or not hurtful things were said or done. It’s important to always maintain lines of communication and be honest with yourself and each other about the situation and the feelings involved. It’s not always obvious what causes disputes that lead to break ups so it can be difficult to change the behaviors that lead to them. It’s important to accept responsibility when you may be at fault even if it feels unfair at the time and understand the other persons point of view. Whenever you feel the desire to reopen a previous relationship make sure your intentions are honest and for the good of everyone, and not just a need to feel in control or not be alone. While it’s usually okay to negotiate and try to persuade someone back into a relationship you should never make advances when it’s clear they make the other party uncomfortable. The key elements to any relationship are mutual respect and a commitment to communication.
