Sometimes there is nothing you can do. Just remember no matter what life goes on and you don't need a man or woman to make you happy. You have yourself, the most important person of all.

I am sorry to say this but most likely you cant. Unless you guys sit down and talk about the problem.

You need to let them have some time. and talk to them. Be honest about how you still feel about them.

I would first want to find out why they wanted to break up with me before deciding if it was worth the effort of trying to get them to change their mind. Does he want to break up because of something he is doing and the trust and integrity of the relationship is gone or is it something that I am doing that is causing him pain or grief. This is why rational communication is so important. Making assumptions without any proof to back them up is hurtful to both of us, especially if they turn out to be untrue gossip. If he has met someone else and feels he is now in love with that person, there is absolutely nothing I can do to force him to love me instead. As a matter of fact, the more that I point out all that I have done for him, all the things I have forgiven him for and the more of the past I throw in his face, the more he is likely to believe he is making a better choice by leaving. No one wants to be constantly reminded of their faults every time there is a disagreement. If I am at fault, if my personality seems to make it look like I am flirting or that I complain about everything and appreciate nothing, then I would hope, depending on the time invested in the relationship that both of us, if we still have some feelings for each other, would consider couple counseling. If one person is adamant about wanting to leave the relationship and unwilling to help the other person have some kind of emotional closure by explaining why they are leaving, I would hope the person being left would consider individual counseling to not only work through the grief of being left behind, but to also learn and accept what their part was in the relationship, even if it was allowing bad behavior from the other person to increase throughout the relationship for fear that the person would leave if criticized. There are two things to remember. First, people treat us the way we let them, usually because it is the way we have been treated all of our lives. Secondly, we cannot force anyone to stay, to change their mind, to love us, we can only love ourselves enough to build a support system to help us get through all the traumas of life. Someday he or she may mature and realize what they passed up, but by then, you may have also matured and are with someone who can see your true value and worth.

Show them you love them by being there for them at all times and tell them how you feel everyday. :)

The answer to this question honestly depends on the reason why they want to break up with you. However I will say this, one thing you could try is to have a heart to heart with them and tell them that you didn't mean to hurt them. the thing is though. you have to mean everything you say and you have to be honest with them

Maybe you should try to ask them why do they want you to break up with if they can't do it themselves.

part of being in a relationship, is that you both love each other. If love is only coming from one side of the relationship then maybe it is for the best that you break up. you need to respect each others opinions and decision, and support each other through what ever the outcome is.

Do things you know make them happy and continue to support them unconditionally. If it was meant to be, you wouldn't need to change their mind but if you love them, that's all that counts.
