Well as hard as the situation may seem, there is really no way to change someone else's mind. Only you are responsible for you and your actions. You can't be responsible for someone else's. The best thing you can do is to talk with the person you are with about the way you are feeling. YOu will have to accept whatever choice it is that they make. In the end, the best you can do and hope for is that you are able to remain friends no matter the situation and do your best to move forward. And to also know, that this to shall pass and there are plenty of "fish in the sea"! So keep "fishing'!

Tell them how much you care for them. Talk through it with them. You cannot force them but only show you care about them and are willing to stay and support them through anything and everything

You can talk to them about how you feel. At the end of the day, it's their decision. You are strong, and can take care of yourself.

You can't. You can talk to them and try and come to an understanding with them, try and compromise with them and see if they are willing to give you another shot but if someone has made up their mind, you can't change it. You can accept it and although you will be upset and hurt by splitting up, you won't feel that way forever.

Ultimately, you can't. Accept the choices they made, they will have to move on and live with them. If it's meant to be they will come back. If you love something, let it go, if it comes back, it's yours. The same can be applied to people. Be at peace with yourself and with them. If they jump ship and never return, it's their loss.

Sometimes you can't change their mind. Sometimes they are set in their ways and there's a specific reason to why they want to break up. Sometimes it doesn't even involve you, it involves them and possibly it involves them and their issues. It's hard; but all you can do is show that you love them and are there to support them. If that isn't enough then sometimes their mind is already made up.

You may have to try understanding why your girlfriend/boyfriend wants to break up and discuss solutions by working together harmoniously. If they do not want to fix things however and as hard as it might be, you have to allow them that space to consider if the relationship is worth fighting for or not.

You be respect and love them regardless, and respect their decision. Be mature and just show them how much you love them and Im sure they will realise it themselves. Don't worry bro if she really loves you and is worth it, she will stay trust me. There were a Million times i thought my girlfriend was going to be leave me, but she truly loves me and we are still together

most of the time you cant. and the hard truth is, you dont really have the right to. just like nobody has the rght to force you into a situation you arent comfortable being in. people are always learning about themselves and their wants and needs. always. and sometimes people just come to understand that things arent going to meet whatever needs they have. it sucks. and it hurts. but the key thing to remember is that its not your fault. again, just like its not somone elses fault if you have certain realisations about your own needs
