Working Things Out With Partners

Sometimes experiencing a falling out with someone close to you such as a spouse or business partner can seem like the end of the world. Sure it could be as simple as working out a single disagreement that has escalated into the decision to part ways; But what happens when it isn’t?

Assuming you have already gotten through the five stages of grief or the situation doesn’t call for it, you’re going to want to come up with a plan of action immediately. You can't just sit and wait for your partner to come to their senses or decide to just change their mind on their own. After identifying the root cause of the disagreement, prepare ways to compromise on the underlying issues.

If you aren’t on speaking terms with your ex-partner, don’t go out of your way to try to get your points across. Give them time to either want to reach out to you or become open to having any kind of communication with you again at all.

Keep in mind that compromising is the key to fixing almost any disagreement. When you reestablish contact with this person, choose each response carefully. Remember that this person has reasons to not want to have contact with you. Once you are sure that your ex-partner is open to having the conversation, communicate with them the ways you plan to compromise on specific issues that caused the falling out to take place.

Many people unconsciously revert to their old ways or fail to stick to the new ways of doing things after fixing the important issues. This can sometimes cause couples or business partners to conclude that they aren’t compatible or that there is just no way of making things work between them. Be sure that you are firm in your commitment to backing up your words with a permanent course of action.

While it is true, there are no magic erasers in life and you can’t take back some of the things you may have said or done to contribute to the falling out, you can pride yourself on being a more caring and responsible partner the next time around.

By always striving to focus on the present and future of your partnership, you will work through past issues both quicker and more efficiently.

If you are finding that your ex-partner isn’t as receptive to hashing things out as you may have hoped, it is time to accept that they do not wish to continue the partnership that you once shared, at least for the time being. Focusing on your life as an independent individual should be your next course of action. Give your ex-partner time to reflect on their final decision without attempting to sway their opinion.

It’s their way or the highway.
