A: Tom tried to make up for our fight last night.

B: I'm glad he is trying to fix things.

What does "fix things" in the above mean to you? Is it "solve problems?" Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

Yes, he tried to make up after the fight, so he is fixing things between himself and person A. Fixing the relationship.
