Being broken-hearted is a very painful process, and sometimes too unbearable to some people. Just think of the time, effort and emotions invested into a relationship gone to waste.

Before you make the effort to learn how to fix a broken relationship it is a good idea to spend time putting some serious thought into whether or not it is even worth fixing. Sometimes loving the other person simply isnt enough, especially if the pain that comes with a relationship outweighs the pleasure.

Take a break

Anybody who has learned from experience how to fix a broken relationship will advise you to give it at least a month or two before you attempt to do anything. You may be tempted to phone your ex right away and talk to them, but this is the biggest mistake you can make. First of all even though you may be missing your ex you are probably still angry with them, and vice versa. There is no point trying to discuss anything until you have both had a chance to calm down and think. Furthermore if you plead with your ex or act desperate you will push them away.

Most people who had been in a broken relationship have learned that the initial step is to concentrate first on yourself. This might sound self-serving but it's not! Take time to ponder what went wrong. Deliberate the pros and cons of your relationship. See if your happiness with your lover outweighs all the hardship and sufferings that comes with it. In this way, you can have a picture whether what you had is worth letting go or worth saving. In the meantime, relax and pamper yourself if you have to. Being with friends and doing activities you enjoy most will make it easier for you to consider your decision.

Restore Communication

After a month or so, it's time to go to the next step --- bringing back good communication. Begin with a friendly text message, phone call or an e-mail. See if your ex has a good disposition towards you. If he/she does, invite your ex to meet up in a neutral setting. It is best to prepare yourself. Be honest but not tactful. Express your feelings with kind words and avoid offensive languages. Respect his point of views and criticize constructively if you have to. As you chat, focus on your purpose and do not let your emotions control your conversation.

Fixing a broken relationship is not that easy. There may be hundred articles on saving destroyed romances but in the end, it's up to you to apply what were recommended. The main recipe is to understand one's self in handling such situation and to have an open communication between the couple.
