it is unwise for oneself to pursue a relationship out of impulse or fear of loss. One has to understand the rationale of your significant other wanting to end the relationship. If the reason for wanting so is something that can be worked out then both parties have to have a mutual agreement to put in the effort to do so together. Otherwise, cloning on to sentiments would only serve as a greater wound to oneself in the future.

Try and convince them, but overall if they don't want to be with you, don't force them. Things happen for a reason so clearly it wasn't meant to be

I had a boyfriend try to talk me out of breaking up with him once--for an entire month! I had already made up my mind and drawing out our break up was much more painful than it would have been if he had initially respected my decision. I don't think you can change someone's mind if they try to break up with you, but you can respect their decision and change how you react to it yourself.

If someone's made a decision in their life it can be difficult to change their mind, though you may care for or love them it may be best not to force the relationship to go forward if the other wants to end it. This is no reflection on you but you don't want resentment later. Though you can always be open with your s.o about how you feel.

Talk with him or her is the best way to know exactly what happens in the relationship. Try to talk to her or him and manages to find the cause of why you think you want to end the relationship .

You cannot change their mind! It is better to not change their mind because you would be waiting both of your time and only hurting yourself more. You must let go. After all, if its meant to be. It'll be.

I would say let it be. Because relationship can't be force. Even if you really want to save your relationship, if the other wants to let go. You should let go. But still you need to be true to yourself by communicate.

Learn why they are leaving you and act upon that. Sometimes though, things just happen for a reason.

You cannot force somebody to love you, you just can't unfortunately. I am sorry, we all go through this, you must let somebody make their own decisions.

Changing another persons mind is most times not within our realm. Bracing yourself for change and coping is the best method for progress.
