Are you grieving for the end of your relationship?

On the one hand you want to do anything it takes to get your ex back and to save your relationship, while on the other hand you want to drive them out of your mind, take revenge on them and move on to better things. All of this turmoil is quite normal in the immediate aftermath of a relationship breakdown.

Here are 3 things you can do to take control of your relationship.

1) Accept the reality. OK you have been rejected, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept your ex’s evaluation of you. Wake up and smell the coffee and stop with the denial. It not only could happen to you it has happened so do you want to get back with your ex or not?

2) Do not do blame. It is nobody’s fault, least of all yours. There is nothing especially wrong with you. Relationships come and go all the time. It is part of life’s rich pattern.

A more important question than who was more at fault than whom is what did you learn from this experience? What will you do differently if you want to save your relationship?

3) It’s make-your-mind-up time. What does your heart tell you? Is your ex worth the effort to save your relationship or are you moving on?

Now is the moment to decide. If you want to save your relationship, make the changes to your lifestyle and approach that will help you rebuild a better relationship.

Recovering and learning from a broken relationship is all about changing your state of mind to a positive mental attitude that will save your relationship or save you for the next better relationship.

I admit that I am guilty of showing too little love sometimes. Anyway here’s a recent version of the song.

I still prefer the version by Bananarama, the one with prison setting.

She was irresistibly attracted to you, but as time went on, you became less and less of a challenge for her.

And could it be that right now, you are zero challenge for her? And that she knows if she wanted to, at any time she could get you back again and wrapped around her finger just by saying the word?

To become a challenge again, you need to demonstrate to your ex that her sexuality has no more control over you.

Think about what it’s like when you’re stalking her with unreturned phone calls, voice mails, text messages, and emails. And then think about what it’s like when you keep doing it (as a lot of guys do) even after she’s told you to stop.

You’re indicating to the woman that you’re a low-value guy with no other sexual options. She won’t respect you again until you refuse her sexual power over you.

  1. Do not directly communicate with her.
  2. Do not be “friends” with her, as that rewards her with the continued validation of power over you while giving her a convenient excuse to stay broken up.
  3. Keep her locked in with your stuff.  She may even owe you money as well. She may get a mutual friend of yours to ask you if you want all of it back. The best answer to this is “No, not yet.”

The reason is because her holding onto your stuff (and you holding onto hers) is still locking you two in and ensuring future communication. Do NOT give her the psychological closure that would come from settling your accounts.

Are you feeling that your relationship is at its lowest and is beyond repair? Don’t worry, simply use my FGH System to turn your relationship around: forgiveness, good communication, honesty.


I) Forgive your partner

Everything can be forgiven in the name of love. Forgiveness is the biggest part that many people screw up because of pride. Self esteem can blind somebody into a life of empty encounters winding up alone. Start forgiving by following these steps:

1. Express your feelings to the other person. Tell the other person — in non-threatening language — how their actions affected you

2. Talk about the benefits you’ve gotten from a negative situation — rather than focusing on the emotions you have surrounding the event, or talking about something unrelated — can help you to forgive and move on.


II) Good communication is the key to saving a relationship

IF you argue all the time, both of you are not listening to each other at all.  So stop and sit down:

1. Get a coffee, or go to a restaurant. Sit down and talk about the problems in your relationship.

2. Make them realize why you liked each other in the first place.

3. Avoid arguments. There can’t be any communication if you both are just hearing each other’s voices all the time.


III)
Honestly tell the person how you really feel

Try to find several different solutions that may help the relationship and ask the other person if they think the solutions would work.

Make sure your partner know that the relationship is at a low point because he or she might feel everything is great when it isn’t.

Here are some tips:

1. Talk about what you need, not what your partner needs to do. When someone is approached “honestly” about their shortcomings and lacks they are likely going to be defensive. Ask your partner how you can get more support from him or her.

2. Identify topics that are off-limits. Some topics are simply too difficult to tackle, especially if they’ve been problematic in your relationship. Find out about what issues shouldn’t be talked. One example is money.

Now apply my FGH system to save your relationship and tell me your success story below!

Talk about what you need, not what your partner needs to do. When someone is approached “honestly” about their shortcomings and lacks they are likely (and understandably) going to get defensive and refuse your request or seek revenge later. Gottman recommends a ’softened startup’. Example: I’m feeling overwhelmed lately. Would you help me identify some ways I can get some more support?

Self-sacrifice and doing things for your partner is great and it is not a criticism, but ask yourself, are you all give and no take?

Everybody needs a healthy dose of self-love and robust self-esteem so that those ’special’ relationships are positive and balanced in terms of give and take. Too much give and not enough take leads to resentment.

Resentment is the enemy of love as the giver withdraws to nurse the vacuum in their relationship. It does not have to be this way if we take time to appreciate our selves, our achievements and our personality traits.

Love yourself enough and that love can spread outward to everybody around you. Your partner benefits and you can save your relationship with these simple self-esteem builders.

1. Take steps to be physically healthier. Look to your diet and eat more REAL food, especially plants. Real food is anything with five or fewer ingredients or does not come in a package. Refined foods are particularly unhealthy such as white sugar, white bread and saturated fats.

Thirty minutes of vigorous exercise every day, particularly before breakfast, will benefit your system, your body shape, your mental attitude and your sleep pattern.

2. Talk to yourself nicely and get your thoughts down on paper. The mind is a very limited computer. It can only hold one or two ideas at a time in our short-term memory. It is thereby very prone to repetition and circular trapped thinking.

By writing or drawing out your ideas you can exorcise repetitive thoughts and move on to develop your mind and attitude.

If you treat yourself and talk to yourself in the same way you talk to a child just learning the way of the World, then you will have a self-loving attitude.

3. Take time out from all the duties of daily life to meditate and reflect alone and in a calming situation. Reflect upon the modalities of your thoughts. Modalities are things like the color of the images in your mind’s eye, or the soundtrack that goes with your thoughts.

See what happens to your feelings when you deliberately change your modalities. By draining bad memories of color, dissociating from them and making them smaller we can reduce the pain they give us.

4. Be sure to treat yourself both physically and intellectually. You deserve what ever you feel will be good for you.

When you care and promote your own inner joy and good feeling, you will be able to share it with your partner and save your relationship.

Take a moment to think about the difference between talking and communicating. Communicating to save your relationship requires a speaker, a listener and messages passing between the two. Talk is simply the medium of communication.

So many couples talk endlessly AT one another but rarely actually talk TO one another. Have you ever felt that you have been talking a lot together but you can’t remember anything of consequence that was said?

What is it that makes a good message? When you learn to share your thoughts, feelings and motivation you turn talk into real communication. Here is an example as a man turns to his special lady and says.

“Can we for once turn the TV off and go to bed for a cuddle”? His lady responds, “You only ever want me when my favorite show is on. You wouldn’t say that if football was on”.

It is talk for sure but not communication.  Sharing his thoughts, feelings and motivations could sound like this.

“You know, we watch too much TV in these rare times when we have peace together. I feel we are drifting apart. What do you say we switch on the VCR and go get ‘up close and personal’ to make the most of our time”? “Mmm. You do the VCR and I’ll go slip into something more comfortable”.

The big difference between communication and talk is that the focus is not on the outcome you are looking for but rather on the process and the experience of being together. Unless you share what you think, how you feel and why you are suggesting these things your partner will assume negative reasons and become resentful and mistrusting.

You cannot save your relationship with talk alone. You have to reflect upon the messages you send out and add in your thoughts, feelings and motivations. When one partner starts the open communication it is easy to ask for and get it in return.

Now, sum up your scores. If you have selected option A, mark 3 points for it. Option B carries 2 points and Option C carries 1 point.

If you score 15 points or less, then your partner is starting to lose interest in the relationship and you need to sit down with your partner, communicate openly so as to save the relationship. Communication is important and it is not simply a “talking session”. Many a time, people assume that talking is the same as communication.

Scoring between 16 – 24 points indicates that both you and your partner are aware that something’s not right about the relationship but neither of you want to bring it up. At this stage, chances of saving your relationship successfully are the highest. Take action and do the right things to save your relationship now. However, be cautious that a wrong step will also worsen the relationship.

Scoring 25 points and above shows that your partner has lost interest in the relationship, either consciously or subconsciously. This is your last chance to save the relationship and you definitely need to know the exactly right steps to take.

To save your relationship now, you need to learn and apply the secrets and underlying principles to an enchanted relationship => You Can Find Out More Here <=
