text: how do i fix a broken relationship? we have a 15 month boy and he's been going behind my back talking to another girl because we've had problems with getting along, but says they're sexual.  anyhow i want to get over that and start again with him.  how should we do that? the only way to get over this and start over is with open communication.  if you two are communicating well then he should have no reason to be going behind your back to talk to anyone else.  you need to develop a relationship and you each have to listen to what the other needs and wants in a relationship and figure out how to make that happen so that you two need each other and depend upon each other instead of looking to other people.
