3. You no longer engage in activities together. Gone are the days you used to shop together or spend a weekend together. 

4. Your partner is no longer interested in discussing the sweet ways you will spend your future together.  

These factors and many more can lead to a bitter battle between the two of you. And all of us know too well that a relationship war always precedes a break up. So, the best way to prevent the break up is to make up immediately after the fight. Here are some tips to help you. 

Don’t Run Away from the Scene of Battle 

This is not really a sign of cowardice, but it is the worst mistake you can make because you won’t get another chance to let out all the bottled-up frustrations and negativity. This might lead to another fight sometime in the future and a possible break up! 

So, immediately after the fight, take a few deep breaths and cool off for sometime. Then have a really friendly discussion with your ex. Discuss the various reasons the fight took place. Now, you are on the way to solving your relationship problems.  

Show Your Partner that You Care 

Fighting partners usually make the mistake of saying, “I hate you and don’t want to see you again,” while actually they want to continue the relationship very badly. If you still love your partner despite his or her recent lack of affection or attention, you must let your partner know that you still care for him or her and want the relationship to work.  

Speak Frankly 

During your friendly, post-fight chat with your partner, speak frankly. Don’t hide anything. If you hide feelings, frustrations, and expectations, you will not be able to resolve the issue.  

Tell your partner what you feel—frankly! Find ways to fix your relationship problems. Now is the time to work out a feasible solution. 

Apologize to Your Partner 

An apology can work wonders. After all, you are partly responsible for starting the fight. So apologize to your partner after you have completely resolved the issue and are on very amicable terms. This seals a long-lasting bond between you and your partner. 

Two people are required to make or break a relationship. During a fight, you tend to focus only on your feelings and needs and forget the feelings and needs of your partner. The simple techniques of making up explained above will help you strike a balance between your needs and those of your partner and thus prevent your relationship from breaking up.
