Chris is in a dilemma on how to fix a troubled relationship. She and her boyfriend are on their nth "I need my space" mode and she's just tired of it. She misses him so much but things always go south the minute one of them opens their mouth!
Be Strong
One day, Chris couldn't stand it any longer. She drove to his place to plead with him to patch things up.
But a voice in her head said, "Don't." One big turn off for men is women who are clingy and needy. Don't drive him away any further than he already is. Let him be and give him room to catch some air. You need to have a firm resolve not to act out as you feel. Though breakups are tough, leave the whining and drama behind closed doors.
Roll Up the Drawbridge
To fix a troubled relationship sometimes means to step back. So Chris drove home before setting foot on his driveway. As she walked through her front door, the blinking red light of the answering machine caught her eye. It was a message from her boyfriend. Communicating with your partner should be kept at the barest minimum in a situation like this. Take time to think and evaluate your relationship. Should you keep going or is it a lost cause? Remember, it's in the stillness of your mind that the spirit speaks what it desires.
Have Fun
Chris picked up the phone and invited some friends for a night out. To fix a troubled relationship can be exhausting, emotionally. Don't let this problem consume your energy. Balance your time around work, social life, family, love life and other concerns. You are different things to different people; don't neglect the other roles that you have in life.
Spend quality time with other people you care for and lose yourself in the moment. Don't let those love blues always cloud your day away.
I know that it's never an easy task when it comes to getting your ex back by setting yourself small goals and getting a plan it is possible. Win your Ex back with a plan but don't rush it!
