The Key to Making Up - Mending Your Broken Heart

How can you get back with your partner? How can you make them see how great the two of you were together? This is your guide to making up and healing your broken heart.

First of all, you have to recognize that whatever happened, you were both at fault. If you cheated, they probably weren't giving you what you needed so you looked elsewhere. If they cheated, you were the one not giving what they needed. Of course, the cheater is purely responsible for the cheating. The person who was cheated on should not hold the soul responsibility. The fault should lie in both party's laps.

Given that, it is important to forgive and forget. Only letting go of the anger related to the incident will lead you to true forgiveness. The incident must never be mentioned again. You must remember the past is the past and don't let it cloud your relationship. You will never be able to truly make up unless you can do this.

You have to apologize if it is your fault. But simply saying "I'm sorry" is not enough if you end up doing it again. This is not fair or respectful to your partner. When you say you are sorry, you have to commit to changing. You have to mean it, otherwise you can forget about making up.

To get their forgiveness you may have to chase them a bit. You have show them you want them to forgive you, but that doesn't mean sending them hundreds of emails or stalking them. Just because you send out some signals that you would like to make up doesn't mean they are going to come rushing back. You need to put your heart on the line and your ego in check.

You may have to settle for something less than you wanted. It may be that they are only ready to be friends when you want a full fledged partner. It may take time to rebuild the trust. You should give them the space they need to get to know you again, if this is the case. If you really want to make up you have to be willing to take what they are willing to give you.

Finally, you need to realize when the strategy of trying to make up isn't working and you need to give up to heal your broken heart. At times the best thing to do is move on. There comes a moment in time where you may see that your partner is unwilling to forgive you and you need to give up and look for someone new. While this will break your heart right now, it may be the best thing that could have happened to you. Whatever went wrong in this relationship, your soul mate is still out there. Getting them back may stop you from meeting them!
