Unfortunately you can't change their mind. It is their choice, you should not force them to do something they don't want to do. If they don't like you that way anymore it is better for them to leave you rather then to be with someone who doesn't feel the same way as you feel about them

When you get into a relationship with someone you make a commitment but also understand that there is a possibility that the person you are with could lose interest or have something come up in their life. If the person who is trying to leave has made their mind up p, you really can't change it as it isn't your own choice. You could confront them but that may not always work depending on the issue.

unfortunately you can't always look to change someone else's mind. sometimes people need space and time.

One can never change a persons mind, a persons mind is their own. But there are often things that we can do that may help them realize that it would not be for the best.

You can change the situation by wise thinking but you can't change a person perspective if they are not ready to listen..be calm and if the relationship is important to them they won't take that step and if they still do ..Just let go bcoz you are saving yourself from worst and in future you will thank yourself for staying neutral. .take care

Don't. If they don't see that you truly love them, they are simply not worth your time and you love.

They say if you love something, set it free. You don't want to hold them to anything. Don't force that person to be in a situation they don't want to be in. Ask them what the reason is for the breakup, and ask if there is anything you can do to change their mind. If they say there isn't anything you can do, then it's best if you leave them be. Don't make the decision for them.

It's really their decision in the first place. They are the ones wanting to break up with you, not the other way around. Be supportive and be a good listener because they obviously have an issue with the current relationship or it could be an outside force. There are no guarantee ways to changing someone's mind in regards to this in particular, but just being there for them shows that at least you care.

You could try talking with your partner about how you have come a long way. Also ask a friend to help you out

First think about yourself and what's best for you. Will this relationship make you happy? Is there any good reasons to break up? If being together is right the reasons will be clear. If this is a regular occurrence think, is your partner trying to make you work for them. Always think about yourself and your happiness first
