If you are prepared to change something about yourself to try and keep your relationship then ask if there's anything that you can do to ask them to change their mind. If the answer is yes then explore further. If the answer is no, they may have just grown tired of you, need a new, more challenging rewarding relationship or may just have simply fallen out of love. If they have, there isn't a lot that can be done about it. Sad, but it is a part of life.

U cant make someone change there mind. But what u can do is try to find out why before it happens and ask him is there something i can maybe change to make the relationship work. So sometimes to make them last we either gotta change ourselves or change how we do things.

Alas, you cannot. The only person you can act upon is yourself. Try to understand how this situation developed. Focus on yourself and try to revive the very person that he/she fell in love with that is still within you.

I think the first question would be, do you really want to change their mind? Relationships can be tough but it's important to look at things from different angles and perspectives. Was this a healthy relationship? Do both parties still very much maintain in interest in wanting to pursue the relationship? There are many aspects of a relationship and before you fight so hard to salvage, you need to look deeper to determine if it should be.

Try talking with him/her. Make him/her realise what he/she will lose if you will break up. :) explain that you both won't be talking again, won't be meeting, experiencing those good moments together, or won't share secrets, it all will be just gone.

It's really hard to do so, make sure you don't lose yourself trying to please them

I think contemplating why you want to be with someone who does not want to be with you is a better use of time than changing another's mind.

Think about if the relationship is really worth holding on to? Whether the problems have arisen due to a stressful lifestyle? How much work the two of you had to put in to make it work? Sit down and talk. Be honest with your partner, and ask them why they want to break up. Acknowledge their feelings and start from the beginning. Be calm, be strong. Don't be the person your partner wants you to be, show your genuine side. Give each other some space. If it still doesn't work then he's just not the one. Good luck!

The best thing you can do is just talk to them. You'll hear people tell you to give 100% and it feels like you already are so I would say to give 110%. That 10% is you going to talk to them one last time to see if it's possible to stay together. If it works, then cherish that relationship correctly. If not, hold your head up high and just know you tried and be proud of yourself.

Sweetheart, speaking from experience, if they want to end the relationship for whatever reason, let them. Don't force anything that no longer wants to happen. Try your hardest to work on resolving whatever the issue is but don't force anything to happen. What is meant to be, will be. If they love you they will always want you. No excuses.
