Feeling Hopeless Over a Falling Apart Relationship?


Is your relationship falling apart?  Is it getting worse, and you feel hopeless?  Has panic gripped you, and you're grasping for anything to help you?  The confusion, pain, and anger you experience when your relationship is falling apart, is one of the most devastating things to endure.  There is help to make it healthy, and you don't have to feel hopeless!  It can be fixed!

Everyone will have problems in their relationship, whether minor or major.  In your case, it's major,  you feel hopeless, and don't know what to do. Your sense of urgency has brought you here for your falling apart relationship.Take a deep breath it can be fixed!

Here are some facts what falling apart relationships lead to.  It's estimated that 50% of men under the age of 45 will divorce in their first time of marriage. For women, it is about 44% to 52% under the age of 45 who will divorce in their first time of marriage. For men, and women between the ages of 45 to 55, it is about 40% who will divorce. The lowest divorce rates are for men and women at 60 years of age, until death, at about 32%. Not good odds, are they?  Don't be a statistic!

How many people have you heard say that their relationship was over? You felt for them, you cried with them, and hoped that something like this won't happen to you.  But it did!  There are 5 extremely important areas that you need to focus on to help your falling apart relationship heal. Series of events led up to it.

1. Are you in love, or just love?

There are many ways to describe love, but concerning a relationship,  It's about being in love!  When you first fell in love, did it take your breath away, make your heart beat faster?  Did your knees knock, and left you shaky all over?   Life gets in the way with the business of making a living, taking care of family, and so on, and it has contributed to diminishing  the magic of being in love!  Re-kindle that magic!

2. Be committed to make your relationship work!

Are both of you committed to stop your relationship from falling apart?  If only one of you is willing to rebuild it, the odds are that it is bound to fail. Both of you will have to sit down, and discuss your willingness to make your falling apart relationship work.  There will be problems, and both of you will need to be willing to work on them, and see them through. 

3. Learn how to communicate with each other again!  

How many couples do you know who were madly in love in the beginning of their relationship? They talked about everything under the sun, and were excited with each others conversation.  Then time past, and you saw them again, both of them so quiet, you could hear a pin drop and hit the floor! Has your relationship reached that point? Communication won't be easy, because the relationship is already in trouble, but you keep trying.  It will get better!

4. Be willing to work on trust issues!

For a relationship to work, it has to be built on a foundation of trust! I don't know what kind of events went on in your home that led up to it falling apart, but if trust has been compromised, it will be a difficult issue to work on. Nobody is perfect, and we all make mistakes! It's when you do it again, that it isn't a mistake anymore, but an intention.

5. Rebuilding your relationship will take time.

Working on a relationship that is falling apart will take time. You have to be patient! It will not heal over night!   Keep in mind, that the damage is done, and you don't want to put a band-aid over a gaping wound! 

Relationships that fall apart are difficult, and unfortunately, too many people give up. They end their relationships when there was a chance it could have been saved!  Yours can be!  You don't have to feel hopeless!
