Saving a relationship is easier than trying to get back together after a break up, so putting in some extra effort now will mean that you do not find yourself in the position of trying to get back together with an ex-boyfriend. If you want to stay together, you need to be prepared to work at it.

Make the effort to spend time together without the pressures of everyday life getting in the way. Don’t worry about things like household chores, just go out together and have fun, like you used to do in the early days of your relationship.

You don’t need to call it a date, but it should have that kind of feel to it. Remember how you used to talk about anything and everything, but now you just seem to argue or don’t communicate at all?

This will cause problems in any relationship, so talk to him. Let him know what you are feeling, and he may then start to be more open with you.

It is important that you both make time to do the things that you enjoy. Find the time to do that activity you’ve always wanted to try, and stop making excuses that you don’t have the time.

Become more independent, and he will be reminded of why he fell in love with you to begin with.

You will have changed during your relationship, but you also need to remember that it is important to do what you love.

At the beginning of the relationship, you probably would have made the effort to look good every time you saw him.

As any relationship progresses, you will become less careful of your appearance. This is fine, but sometimes you should surprise him by taking the time to look fantastic.

Even if it is something as simple as a new haircut or some stylish additions to your wardrobe, do something that makes you look and feel more attractive, and he will definitely notice.

Remind him that you are a beautiful woman and you are in a relationship with him and you may find that you can save your relationship.

You may also want to encourage him to make more effort in your relationship as well – after all, it will affect both of you. If you still love him, and the feelings are mutual, then it should be equally important for the two of you to work at making the relationship last in the long term.

Good luck and I am eager to here your thoughts.
