If you are involved in a relationship, at some point you will probably experience some conflict with your partner.
Unfortunately the conflict can sometimes escalate to the point where one person or the other wants out of the relationship.
For a couple, making up can save your relationship when things are not going well.
Making up is the key, but it isn't always easy, especially if anger or dishonesty has led to a break-up.
In a situation like this, often one person feels like they are in the right and the other person is made to feel like it's their fault.
And maybe it is.
If you look deep inside, you know what really happened and who is at fault.
If you are the one responsible for the break-up, and you don't want the relationship to end, a lot of what happens is on you.
You'll have to be the one who initiates getting back together and then does more than your share to work on saving your relationship.
For starters, you might want to apologize and admit that you were wrong.
Be sincere in your apology.
If you are just saying you're sorry but don't mean it, your partner will know.
And that will only make things worse.
Be prepared to listen, and really hear what your ex is saying.
Let your partner vent and whatever you do, don't be drawn into defending yourself.
Before your ex will even think about taking you back, they have to go through a whole range of emotions including anger.
Your part of this as half of the couple making up is to let those emotions happen.
Once your ex has had a chance to get past all the feelings that your break-up has caused, it's time to start working on the making up part.
Do everything you can to regain their trust and make their happiness a priority.
Remember, for a troubled couple, making up can save your relationship.
But you have to do it right.
