How can women break the insidious cycle of relationship failure

Nothing is more traumatic than seeing a relationship falling apart. It breeds suspicion, distrust and distance. A couple who could not live without each other at some point begins to find reasons to stay away. The relationship is not painful for both parties. Both are trying to hurt each other, and the more they hurt each other, the more they destroy what was once a very loving relationship.

Signs of relationship failure

It requires no special skills to understand when a relationship starts turning sour. Some of the indicators are:

1. The partners will start finding fault with each other.

2. You stop listening to each other

3. They begin to spend more time outside the house

4. They find less and less time and even less reason to touch each other or to reassure each other that everything is right.

5. The trust breaks down.

6. No satisfactory explanation is offered for coming late.

7. Phone calls not returned

8. There is an attempt to injure and wound each in the slightest opportunity.

9. The mutual respect that existed for each other begins decreasing.

10. There are high expectations but did not give and take.

How women can save the relationship

The burden of rescuing a relationship based on both parties. One partner alone can not save a relationship if the other is determined to go away. But if the relationship is in trouble because of misunderstandings so certain that the woman in the house can save it.

The first step is to start listening to her partner. She need not flare up and show his disapproval if she does not agree with what he has to say. Instead, she accepts at face value his opinions. This is not an easy task, but the first crucial steps to curb his male ego. No man will be treated lightly. He will begin to feel more wanted if he finds that the woman he loves is not always on the warpath. The small talks that ended in bitterness and conflict will gradually start getting longer.

The next step is to show that you want your husband to come closer to you. It can begin by putting a little more passion in the pickaxe that you give him when he goes to work or hug when he returns. He may well be surprised and even somewhat reluctant to return to your newfound love, but there is no better way to close the gap than through touch. It can bridge the widest of distances that can divide a relationship.

You should also begin to find fault with him. Do not ask him to give an explanation for arriving late or staying away on weekends. Take it in your stride length. Wait for him to open up.

Give the man some space

Also, to give him room to relax when he returns from work. You do not need to rush him and start a conversation. Every man likes some private time and space to themselves. Let him use it, let him cool down and become more emotionally ready to light your chat and banter. Avoid items that he considers frivolous, focusing on topics that may interest him. Obviously not trying to trick him by trying to reach more than yourself. Even silence is great for friendship. You can just pat his hair or hold her hand while watching TV or hover close around him to make him feel wanted.

Soft music and good food may make him more relaxed. Try to play music that he likes, and cook, that he loves. You must allow him to set the pace if he wants to take you to bed. Do not push yourself on him. But let him believe that you have come to him because you wanted it. This is still true.

Do not try to change your man

It is important that you stop trying to change your mate. This is a mistake that most spouses do. They believe that their husbands will change if they keep after them. Nothing could be more counterproductive. Constant nagging only leads to insurrection and rebellion. Also, stop blaming your mate for anything and everything that has gone wrong in the relationship. It will only make him fight back.

Do not sound or look dishonest when you try to save the relationship. It is important that you have complete faith in what you do. You should gradually make him talk about why he had starting moving away from you. Once again, you do not pressure him to talk about his misgivings. You must create a situation where he wants to confess where he wants to release the pent-up emotions. This can have magical impact on your relationship. Suddenly, the ghosts that had mad your relationship can be exorcised.

There will be confident again, and mutual trust. Try not to lose it again.
