How can you try to fix a damaged relationship?

Answer 1

Sincerity and honesty. You broke the trust previously, so it's what it takes to win it back. You need to really want it back.l First, ask yourself, why do you want to mend it? Does this person mean so much to you that you don't want to move on? If the relationship means alot to you, (I presume it means alot to the other person too, because true love is felt by both parties. But since truat has been betrayed, a block of forgiveness might be present such that the other person might not wish to let their feelings reign, as they might yet again get hurt. So, I believe take it slowly, show them that you made a mistake, and regret it. If you're sincere, and the other person still loves you, you're heading the right way.

Answer 1 The question provides so little information that it's impossible to answer it. One would need to know more about the kind of damage.

Answer 2

You could start by apologizing... It takes a big person to fess up, and admitt they were wrong. But, the other person forgiving you OR taking you back is not guaranteed, it depends on how much the relationship was damaged.

Answer 3

You can also take this as an opportunity to reflect on the relationship and whether or not it should be fixed. Was is fulfilling for both parties? Did it cause more stress than it was worth? And most importantly if you are seeking to fix the relationship: What needs to change in order for that to happen?

Answer 3

Try talking to them. Tell them that you are more than sorry about what happened and wished it didn't. Promise that you won't ever do it again. Tell them you really promise and that it's not fake.

If your friend isn't talking to you, try having one of their friends talk to them about how you feel. Tell the other friend that you really mean it so they believe you.

If nothing what so ever works, try talking to the person who is always alone.

Good luck!

I'm afraid you broke the worst rule in a relationship "trust." Once you have hurt someone by being unfaithful that trust is hard to earn back. If it was the first time this has happened, then you and your ex should realize everyone can make mistakes, but, hopefully one learns from them. If you really are sorry and have changed your ways, then try getting in contact with him/her and see if you can meet to have a talk. Talking one on one is much better than talking on the phone or by email because you can see the persons expressions and body language which can tell you a lot about how they truly feel and he/she can see that you mean what you say. It's worth a shot and I'd go for it! Good luck Marcy
