It's important to respect your partner's autonomy regarding these decisions. However, if both of you are willing to work on the relationship, the best thing you can do is encourage clear and open communication. Sit down with them and talk about how you're both feeling and what's making the relationship hard to sustain in the first place. If there are changes that need to be made on both of your parts, you need to get them out in the open. The goal here shouldn't be just to keep them with you, it should be to get your relationship back to a place where you're both happy with each other and your lives.

I think changing their mind is something that's a hard task. Talk to them, but keep in mind that you want someone who cares about you for all you are. And if they can't see that, they might not be the one you want to devote so much of your heart to.

I've been in a situation of wanting to save the relationship and to change their minds from breaking up. It's just anything but breaking up that fills up your mind and you don't want to lose someone important. It's completely normal especially if you love them so very dearly but at times like this, you can't do much. If your relationship is very unhealthy, then you want to let it go. If you partner isn't satisfy with you and what you've done for them, then let them go. They don't deserve you as much as you put out there for them. If you disagree, that's fine but if you can't agree with anything, it isn't. If they want to break up with you over a silly fight, yes, you can somehow change their minds and ease them into a stable mind of thinking. Although if it's constant silly fights, you may want to have a stable and civil talk with each other about maybe some insecurities or problems you have with each other.

At that point, I start asking myself, is it worth trying to change their minds? I know that's a hard question to answer, but, if someone wants to break up with you, there is always more than a simple answer. And honestly, it's might not be worth changing yourself to make them happy.

Ask yourself first, what are the disadvantages and advantages of the breakup? Do you believe it may be for the best? Are you afraid to get back into the market again? Would it be best to have some 'me-time'? Or why would they even want to break up? Is changing their mind going to make the relationship any stronger in the future why or why not? Sometimes asking questions to yourself and being honest with yourself may help you understand what is it in the relationship that wants you to make them (him/her) change their mind.

You can't change his/her mind. If they want to leave, then let it be. Someone else would be able to see how beautiful and special you are. You deserve someone who can give you their time and attention because you are worth it. Put yourself before anyone else and love yourself. No one else can love you more than you.

If you didn't want to be with someone, would you want them to change your mind? Think on this for a while- is it fair to keep them in a relationship they do not desire? Sit down with your partner and talk about the relationship goals you both have.

its not really fair on them for you to try and change their mind, if its because of something that is easily changeable then maybe give it a go but if its because of something you have no control over then im afraid there isnt much you can do about it

You can not really change their mind but you can talk to them about it. Like if the say that your cheeting on them when your not so they want to break up with you just sit them down and explain that you are not. Hope this help!
