Talking in general terms, As a society we are living with a mindset of replacement. So it could be good if you want to replace something in your house, but sadly we tend to replace our relationships and important persons in our life for somebody else, instead of fighting and giving our last possible effort.
The number of divorces is growing each year. I live in Guatemala, and we are the fifth country worldwide with the highest divorce rate, it really concerns me.
So before we break a relationship we can do this things to avoid that and face the problems
1. Communication: Small unsolved problems will become into chaotic problems, its important to talk in the moment. If you need to breath and have your space for some time (hours or maybe a couple of days) before you express what you feel, do it, but dont let the time run and keep those feelings in your soul. if you dont heal those feelinigs they wont heal by themself. Express yourself, talk what you like or what you dont, do it with respect.
2. Admit your mistakes: Its so easy to see the bad things in others, so this is one of the biggest challenges for humans, to admit our weakneses and mistakes, we feel vulnerable, we tend to try to show us strong in front of the people and to hide the things we dont like from us, lets start being honest with ourselfs and recognize that we can improve in many ways many areas of our life.
3. Ask for help: There is beauty when we are weak, we open doors to many opportunities and to the change. Its normal to be weak, its unnormal to think that we dont need it. We are humans and sometimes we cannot continue our path without somebodies help.
4. Focus on solutions instead of the problems: When you talk to your couple do not point at him/her, reapiting what he/her does bad, try to think in a solution, what is better for the relationship? is it most important to show that you have the reason and to win this discussion rather than save your relationship? There is always a solution.
5. Forgiveness. This is the hardest part, i have been here many times, in front of the choice to forvige or to not do it, but we only understand the forgiveness when we are the ones that need to be forgiven, then we realize that the others do have the right to experience the same.
Hope this is helpful for somebody, if you are in problems do not quit, try to save your relationship, love is a decition, hopefully its not too late.
