In this article I m going to do my best to help you answering a really important question that is, "Should you stay together?" and how do you know when that unsettling feeling in your gut is really telling you that it's time to end your relationship? of course, if you are on this page, then you must be having some doubts about your relationship.
I know this is a painful question which can be very confusing and very hard to answer.
Ending a relationship is never easy, even when you know it's the right thing to do.
There are a lot of thoughts that go into it, and a lot of reactions, wrong advices, confusing messages and difficulties that come up around this topic.
So, how do you know when you're giving up too soon? Here are some reasons to help you decide whether to stay in a relationship or end it all.
You've had a fight Having a fight once in a while with your partner is not a reason to break up.
Even the most reasonable people disagree with each other, and the way you resolve your problems can help your relationship climbs to new levels.
So, it's a reason that you should stay together.
Instead of heading for the door at the first sign of a disagreement, use it as a way to understand your partner more and what makes him or her tick.
You're only in the relationship because you don't want to hurt your partner's feelings You're scared of telling your partner "It's over".
You have to realize, however, that you're not doing this person any favors by staying with him out of sympathy.
Your don't like the same thing That's perfectly fine, no reason to start searching for a new partner, because differences can be healthy.
Having your own things to do can naturally give the relationship the space it requires.
As long as you have enough shared interests to remain united as a couple.
You are in the relationship just because you are afraid to be single Staying with someone as a "placeholder" is not only unfair to them, but also unfair to yourself, because, then, you're less likely to develop as an individual and find the right person for you.
Your partner finds other people attractive Physically attractive people are all around us, on TV, movies, everywhere, so it's naïve to think that they'll go unnoticed.
But in a good committed relationship, the partners are not cut off to external influences, and they're mature enough to know that acting on them is a recipe for disaster.
You're embarrassed to bring your partner around This is an important point.
If your work or group of friends for example having a happy hour, and you are making excuses for not bringing that person around because you hate bringing him or her out in social situations? it's time to break up.
The relationship doesn't always make you happy A relationship doesn't exist JUST to make you happy.
If you've abandoned all hobbies and ambitions or dreams because you're expecting your relationship to fulfill all your needs, you're doing for your partner and yourself a disservice, and you are piling on far too much pressure.
