Some people, after a couple of months or years of being together, tend to get bored with the relationship. This is a very crucial step in a because it is one of the most common beak up reason. Boredom.

What if your partner loses interest in you? How do you save your relationship from being eaten away by dullness? Here are some tips:

1.Give your partner some space. A change of atmosphere, environment, or company would help a lot. Go on a vacation alone or visit your parents. Let your partner hang out with his/her friends. Giving your partner a space would make him/her re-realize your worth. While doing that, take the opportunity to give yourself a break. Go out. Shop. So that when you get back to each other, you both feel refreshed and happy.
2.Have a makeover. Maybe your partner is getting bored with how you look. He/She must have loved you for what you are, but changing looks adds more excitement to the relationship. It is one of those surprises that would certainly catch him/her off guard and notice you once again.
3.Do not nag. Do not ask where your partner is going after work or what he/she is doing. Do not call up just to check on your partner. Nothing is more irritating than having somebody track your every move. This shows that you do not trust your partner. Trust is one of the main ingredients to a lasting relationship. Without it, any relationship wont work.
4.Try new things. New dishes, new house design, new activities. Novelty adds spice to a boring relationship. You can get new ideas from magazines, forums, chat lines and articles. Try something new every other day or once every week. This would keep your partner guessing what you would be up to next time.
5.Be sensitive. Talk with him. You partner might have some problems but you just do not realize it. Communication is important in a relationship because it opens doors for analysis, improvement and understanding. Let him/her know that you are always ready to listen and help them in any way.
6.Always smile. Nothing brightens up the day than a simple smile. Smile is contagious. Even if your partner feels gloomy, he/she will lighten up when you smile.
7.Show your partner how much you love him/her. You do not have to go to the extent of buying special gifts or giving expensive vacation treats. You can show your love in little ways. Give your partner a back rub after work. Or offer to wash his/her car. Cook his/her favorite food. Scrub his/her back. These little things show that you still care.

If all these fail, then maybe you are not really meant for each other. Keeping a relationship strong takes effort and strategy. You need to have your relationship planned out if you want it work. You should know what to do if a certain instance happens or a problem occurs. But the effort must come from both sides. It just aint worth it if you’re the only one saving the boat. In that case, let go. It means that he/she’s already lost interest. Try again, and make sure it works this time.

If your significant other has started pulling away from, has become distant, stopped having sex with you, or has outright informed you they want to break up, you’re not as bad off as you think you are.

Couples fight, break up and get then get back together all the time.

If you’re in a position where your partner wants to break up, but you want to stay together, then the following relationship saving tips below, might just get you back in the saddle again.

Tips For Stopping Your Break Up or Lover’s Rejection:

1. If you were too clingy in your relationship, back off. Leave them alone, completely. Let them have their space, or the freedom they think they’ve been missing. They’ll soon become real curious as to why you backed off altogether, and will be drawn back to you to find out why. When they do call, or come back around, play it cool and agree with their position of wanting space. Acknowledge that you were too possessive and that you’ve realized that acting in such a manner was not only unhealthy to the relationship, but it was becoming unhealthy to you as well. When they begin to think you’re the one pulling away, watch how they magically want you back in their life again.

2. If you didn’t show enough emotion or caring in your relationship, do something surprising. Send them a genuinely touching message with some flowers, or in a card. The trick here is to be ‘genuine’. If they smell insincerity at all, your efforts will be wasted. Don’t make it too mushy or too long. Acknowledge that you realize how insensitive you were and reassure them that they are the most amazing person to ever step into your life. Once you send that message out, back off. Don’t call, don’t send another message, don’t stalk. Your partner will be curious why you disappeared and they’ll come calling for you soon enough.

3. If you were lazy in your relationship, you better figure that out and become un-lazy somehow. No one likes, or wants a lazy, unmotivated slob for a partner. If you’ve become overweight, unkept (appearance wise), don’t work, don’t help out in any capacity, or you were even lazy in the bedroom, be surprised they didn’t leave you before now. It’s in your best interest to get some straighten up in your life. The next time your partner calls, you better be doing something active and worthwhile. You need to shock them with whatever you’re doing now. You have to come across as different in their eyes, or else they’ll continue to see you as that lazy, unfortunate person they’ve come to despise and they’ll keep moving further away from you.

4. If you were too much of a go-getter in your relationship, take it down a notch when it comes to your partner. You may have pushed them too hard, too many times. Ease up on your partner, not everybody has a high level of drive and determination. The next time they call and want to know what you’re doing, make sure that you’re engaged in something low key, something you wouldn’t normally be thought of doing. Like tip #3, you need to shock partner so they get curious as to why you’re acting so differently now that they aren’t around. When they inquire as to why you’re doing what you’re doing, inform them that you realized what a pain in the rear you’ve been and you thought it was time to take it down a notch. They’ll become curious and you’ll see them come around again.

5. Sex. If you weren’t having too much of it, or you were trying to have too much of it, this is something else you better figure out. Sex is a huge part in every relationship, but sex is on a different level for each individual. If you were the one who didn’t want to have sex because you were never in the mood, you better go see a doctor and find out why. If you were trying to have sex all the time, understand that your partner may not be as motivated to have sex with you all the time, so it’s best you find out why. There are many reason why a partner doesn’t want to have sex and those reasons don’t always have to do with you. Become more understanding of your partners needs. If you want them back and want to keep them, pressuring is the last thing you want to do to them, especially with something as sensitive as sex. The next time you two get together, do the opposite of whatever you used to do. If you never wanted to have sex, you better get in the mood real fast and throw yourself erotically on to them. If you were too pushy in the past, don’t even bring it up. Let sex come naturally. If you genuinely love your partner, then you’ll feel compassionate about their feelings and act accordingly.

If you are in the early stages of a break up, let’s say, the past few days, even a week; then the following are a few tips that you must follow exactly, or else you’re dead in the water:

1. Stop communication. If you keep calling, texting, sending notes, contacting their friends and family, then you’re not giving them a chance to miss you. I realize it’s difficult and you feel like you’re going to die without them, but whatever you do, don’t contact them directly, or indirectly anymore until they initiate the contact with you. When they don’t hear from you anymore, they’re going to become real curious as to why.

2. Keep communication brief. When your partner does call again, keep the contact short. Don’t speak with them more than 10 minutes and then casually remove yourself to take another call, or because you simply have to go. You never want to come across as needy and insecure, so always appear to have something else going on. Don’t act, or come across as arrogant, angry or insecure. These displays of emotions are a turn off and will guarantee that your partner won’t call again for a long while.

3. Take time out. Stop feeling sorry for yourself long enough to responsibly understand why your partner wants to break up. What did you say or do that made them want to jump ship right now? How have you been acting over the course of the relationship, that might answer why they chose to leave. Once you can reasonably understand the main motive for the detachment, then you can construct a game plan to adjust your position and start implementing a new life strategy, that will be more appealing to your partner.

4. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. The last thing that is going to help you, is acting like a depressed little cry baby. Not to mention, if your partner got wind that you were laying around pouting over the break up, that will only empower them. Use this time to be free to do what you want. Believe me, I know depression, it makes you feel like death is the only way to feel better. However, depression won’t get your partner back. Only a healthy confident ‘you’, has the power to attract your lover back in to your life.

The only true test to know if your partner will come back to you, is time.

Let your significant other have as much time as they need without contacting them, smothering them or pressuring them.

The two worst things you can ever do to a lover, is pressuring them and stressing them out. No pressure. No stress. Live by those two things alone and you’ve mastered half of the relationship game.

A relationship needs to be built on trust. Trust doesnt happen over night as you need time to find out who the person really is and not the person who is trying to impress you. Having someone you trust means there is some predictability as you know what your partner is capable of and what they are not. Here are some concrete ways to create trust in your relationship.

1. You will need to build trust in a relationship is to be predictable. This will go in opposition to the common notion that you have to stir stuff up to always keep the romance alive. Sure, going to a different restaurant or offering a surprise gift can be great, but most of all, we require things to be dependable and steady in order to make our relationships work. Take into account that trust in a relationship could be built on being reliable day in and day out.

2. You need to make sure that your language at all times match the message. This suggests that your partner needs to hear the words that match your body language. As long as you say you are happy but you are frowning, your spouse does not hear your words, he or she sees your face and the tone in your voice. Your partner must be able to rely on what you are saying. Any time the words match the message, you create trust in a relationship.

3. You need have a fundamental confidence in your partners competency. If you dont you wont have the trust in a relationship that you might want. When lovingly communicated, the truth is never harmful. When you do not believe that your partner is competent at some things (or indeed, anything), you violate the trust in a relationship.

4. Dont keep secrets. More than anything else, secrets destroy trust in a relationship. Be honest and open. You have to assume that everything you know will eventually be found out by your spouse. Secrets need to have enormous energy on your part. That is energy that could quite possibly be going into building the relationship.

5. Dont be afraid to let your spouse know what your needs are. Dont make him or her speculate what you need. Let them know. It is okay to be self-centered as long as you are not being selfish. Indeed, if you are afraid to assert your needs, you may go overboard in the opposite direction and smother your spouse.

6. Its important to learn to say no. If ever your spouse voices his or her needs then that is a good step. Its important that you dont have to say yes to everything. Your spouse cannot value you if you hardly ever say no. Refusing to be subjugated to the other persons will basically build trust in a relationship.

7. Always pursue improvement. When you plant a flower, you start by digging in the dirt. Unfortunately pain can be caused when digging in the dirt of your relationship. However, preparing the soil and feeling the pain will prepare you for future growth. Dont be fearful of uncertainty, crisis, or questions. These become the fertilizer for advancement and change. Embrace what is difficult.

Starting a relationship gives you someone to talk to; someone you can lean on when in times of trials; someone you can share your dreams with, and someone you can spend the rest of our life with.

A relationship is made up of two individuals who share the same hopes and dreams; a couple who fills up their own individual gaps with individual strengths and weaknesses. Building up a relationship requires tandem effort, and it eats up a lot of tandem effort. Maintaining a relationship needs not two individuals but only one vision made up by two unified, loving minds.

But after all is said and done, a relationship still ends up with two individuals with diverse lives and diverse characteristics. An individual’s needs are still different from another individual’s needs. Despite the closeness of a couple in a relationship, space is still needed for them to breathe and live as individuals with diverse needs and characteristics.

First of all, before you get into a relationship, you should have already established a lifestyle and characteristics that you cannot just leave behind and forget once you have committed yourself into loving someone. That someone also had a life of his or her own before you met him or her and he or she can’t just leave that life all at once just for the sake of getting into a relationship. What both individuals should do is give each other some space to still live their lives and do other things that were around them before they committed themselves to the relationship.

Space is a vital part of relationship’s maintaining power. Lack of space might lead to the suffocation of the individual; and a little after that, the death of the relationship.

Space is given for the individual who is in a relationship to still do things on his or her own; what clothes to wear, who to hang out with. Individual decisions should not be done by a couple, they should be done individually. Most relationships are subjected to bad endings because the individuals in a relationship tend to step on each other’s lives and tries to control them because they don’t like it; they end up deciding what should the other do, the other ends up becoming a slave, and the relationship is bound to fall off at any given time.

Space is also important for the privacy of an individual in a relationship. Privacy is also the main reason why relationships tend to get out of hand. It is important to remember that individual privacy is entirely different from the privacy within a relationship even though both are really important elements. Individual privacy is more of a person’s own space; a sanctuary within himself or herself; it is where he or she ponders on the things he or she has accomplished in life as an individual.

Space, along with enough time is also required for a relationship to strengthen itself up to an unbreakable extent wherein the individuals in that relationship are happy being together and are also happy being individuals who have their own breathing and thinking space.
