In the above example, if both of you still love each other deeply, usually a simple apology by one of you can easily solve the problem. Of course, it will be better to wait for a short period of time, say around 2 weeks, before you approach your partner.

Unfortunately, not all situations are as simple as the example above. There are more serious cases like violence, infidelity etc. Consider the example below.

Adam and May used to be very much in love. However, due to overwhelming stress at work, Adam started getting very irritable. In fact, Adam even started to become physically abusive towards May.

Although May was extremely hurt by Adam's behavior, she did not want to leave the relationship as she still loved Adam deeply. Eventually, by encouragement of May's friends, May decided to leave the relationship.

There are many people who may be in the same situation as Adam and May. As an outsider, we wouldn't expect Adam and May to patch up. However, it is quite surprising that some couples in this situation do decide to stick together again.

This just shows that even the most difficult relationship can be saved. Obviously, I am not encouraging anyone to stay or go back to this type of relationship.

However, if after considering all factors, you really believe that it is beneficial for both parties to be reconciled, then there are definitely steps that you can take to repair the damage.

However, it is generally better to wait till your emotional state improves before you take any action. Being in a low emotional state will not help you and will even spoil your chances.

Here are a few ways you can consider to improve your mood, especially during the first few days after breaking up:

1)It is always a good idea if you can share you feeling with someone you trust. You don't have to share your feelings with many people. Just by pouring yourself out in front of one person will make you feel a lot better.

2)Cry out loud if you need to. However, don't do it in front of your boyfriend at this point in time. You can do it when you are alone or in front of a trusted friend or family member. Crying helps to reduce some tension.

3)As said above, be comforted by the fact that most relationships still stand a chance to be saved. While some relationship will have to end eventually, always look on the bright side. Even if at the end, you can't be together with him, think of it as his loss. You will definitely be able to find someone who can appreciate you in the future.

4)Try sports. Any sports will do. Exercise can sometimes make you feel better. You can try bowling, tennis or squash. Hit or throw the ball as hard as you can. Vent your anger. Of course, be sure to take care. Don't injure yourself and anyone who accompanies you.

Once you are in a better emotional state, you can start to think about what you are going to do next.
