I don't think it's right to change their mind. It's not right to force someone into a relationship that they don't want to be in. If you guys aren't meant to be then that's just it

If they are truly set on their decision then it is too late; However, if they are confused about ending things with you but still let you know that they might then you should talk to her and see what it is that went wrong in the relationship and then ask for forgiveness and then tell them that you will do everything you can to fix it.

No one can change anyone's mind. Just be yourself and if they still break up, it's not your fault and you couldn't have helped it.

Breaking up with someone is a big decision to make. Discussing the situation with them may help you both understand the situation better, however changing their mind may suppress their feelings and be unhealthy.

If he/she wants to break up with you then you can't stop them. You should not try to change yourself in order to change their mind . Be True to yourself and move on with your life. If he/she truly wants to be with you then he/she will realise their mistake and come back. And if that doesn't happen then be glad that you saved yourself from a one sided relationship because in the future you'll find better people.

You can ask them if there is anything that can be done to keep the relationship going instead of breaking up. Maybe you can change a behaviour that your lover dislikes, or maybe there is a problem that you both need to solve for the relationship to keep going. Keep in mind however that you can't force one person to stay and that it's necessary for you to respect their decision, even if it hurts you. Remember that the people who really, genuinely love you will stay within your life and do their best to keep you there.

If you feel like your relationship is worth salvaging- then remind them of the good times; why they fell in love with you. But as well my be accept their choice- love is also about sacrifices.

You can speak to them and tell them about your feelings however you shouldn't force them to change their mind too much because they also have the right to make their own decision and being too forceful can make things worse.

You can change their mind by telling them what's good about your relationship and all the good things that could come in the future. Tell them how much they mean to you and everything you love about them.

Sadly, you might not be able to change their mind. The best thing you could do is talk about it. Try to solve the problem. There is no way of knowing that talking about will fix it. Maybe they just need space and time to think about it and you have to give them that space.
