In the early stages of every relationship it is difficult to accept that some day you may have to face a break up. We know that it occurs often but we in some way encourage ourselves that it can’t happen to us or it will be special this time. However disagreement and conflict is as much a part of human relations as is excitement and the passion of the honeymoon phase.

The thing is, do you desire to save your relationship?

The fundamental step to save your relationship is to set some distance and some time between you and your partner.

In the course of break-up there are various patterns of behavior on both sides that have to change if it is not to run its way to inevitability. Taking a break from the break-up process is the only solution to allow your heart to mend itself.

To save your relationship you should momentarily stop it so that you can return to the reunion conversation with a changed point of view.

There are two ways in how to handle a break-up:

1. You jump straight on with discussing things through in the intensity of dispute or

2. you can go round the corner to cool down.

If you can step off the route to break-up you can render a better decision regarding getting back on that path or finding a changed path to a innovative improved relationship.
