In relationships, I have not been easy to live with it. Always takes effort and understanding. relationship is not going well, and it is difficult to know what went wrong and how to fix it. Even I can not do anything to improve, because I was not any. but I was the one who is always in accordance. Are steps can I take to improve my relationship, which was damaged?

able, or not a relationship in repair, depending on how big the problems encountered, and theattitude of each partner. magnanimity required to give in and apologize. if there is no generosity, it is very difficult to improve relations.

Communication is all important. Honesty as well. If you are doing all you can and are 'in accordance' then communicating this and making sure the other person knows this is very important. Think through in your head where the problem stemed from and when. Try to talk about this with partner if he is open to it. I think talking about it will help you to feel better.

First of all stop feeling sorry for yourself. A relationship is between equals, otherwise it is slavery. Emotion and logic play an equal part in relationship. So think and analyze the situation piece by piece and bit by bit. Stand up to the bad and in case there is an occasion to give in do it with dignity. It is a long and hard path and needs to be worked on.

Yes. This is a complicated and long journey. I can not do what you suggest. Because you mentioned, is my true state. Improving the relationship that I want, just simple. I only wish my partner, at least asmile when talking with me. It already makes me happy.

I don't know what you went through with your life, with your married life and i am not in the possession to know about it. What i know is that in a relationship for it not to be destroyed both should work it out nourish it and let it grow in love and harmony, and one useful tool is communication, you should have a good communication, you should communicate openly to each other even if it is just a simple and small matter that affects the two of you, then comes the listening ear both should have one, then understanding and accepting and forgiving, both should do the effort.

One person alone cannot take the entire blame for a marriage breaking up anymore than one person alone cannot take the entire credit for making a marriage work.
I'm not sure if you are talking about your marriage or a friends relationship but in either case, it takes two people.
Maybe it's the person this relationship is with that has some problems also, not just you by yourself, so don't be willing to take all the blame. Relationships need two people to participate, and both have to be willing to understand the other person. It just might not be you who damaged the relationship.

You can always say you are sorry. Tell them that you have been remembering the past and that you realize you could have been a better friend. Now you have made
changes in your thinking and would like to start out fresh with them. Just make sure if you say all this you mean it. This way you will know you tried to fix the relationships and the choice is up to them. Blessings

There are several things you can do, to improve relations that are running. But before, you should be aware of whether that relationship, deserve to be repaired or not. If beyond repair, the first thing you should do is to keep communication open. When you are constantly fighting and avoid each other, there would be no problem solved. You and your partner must be able to speak calmly and rationally. That way, you will avoid the heat of regret in the future. And, importantly, do not have that feel powerful, and feels, has much to do something for your spouse.

In every relationships,problem arises and it takes two to repair it.
Even though how much you will try to keep a relationship intact when the other concern is not giving an effort,it would be useless.
Repairing what is being left takes patience,love and two hearts to mend...not just one.

It seems like it can take very little time at all to destroy a relationship. It can takes more time to build and nurture one. Putting a relationship back together is not as easy. Some relationships are so torn apart they can never be put back together. Others take time to put back in place. healing is not as quick when relationships are in a downward spiral. Time can seem so long when you are trying to repair a broken relationship.

Hi Indah!.
I think if you wanna repair relationship with someone especially its broken in trust, you must forgive thats person. I think if you forgive him its will be easier for you to communicate and accept him. I think the whole key is how you both will communicate each others and your willingness to make every thing work.
Good luck on every thing Indah. I hope every thing will work out for you.

The only way to repair a relationship is that both must be willing, meaning that both have to understand and allow one another to speak exactly how they feel about one another.
There after both must be willing to change and compromises what ails the other, outside of that I do not know how else it can be fix as one wanting and the other not accepting the feelings of the other will only deepen depressed the one and the relationship either fails and or the person learns how to live with the person in such manner. Which for me would be impossible.
Best of luck.

It is not easy to have relationship, many obstacles to be encountered, many tears will fell on the ground, a lot of trials just to test your love from each other. We can fixed damaged relationship if one of you knows how to listen and ready to understand the situation.
Do not argue to your partner if he or she is not in a good mood.

Same here most especially with the last one I had. I thought I have done everything to solve and save it, but it seems there is still missing. However, I don't regret that it is over and damaged. Because I know I have done my part, and the problem wasn't me. I have realized the missing link in there. Now, I am very much fine and I don't know with my ex.

I think that when it comes to relationships, a constant adjustment will help a lot. People, even how similar they feel about each other will always have so many differences. Given these differences, arguments is expected. So if no one from the two knows how to accept each individuals differences, it will lead them stuck on disagreements for the entire time of being together.
