Why women stay in a relationship they are not necessarily happy in?
Why do we sometimes stay in a relationship that we are not necessarily 100% happy? A lot of people have the misconception of being in a relationship and it always being a piece of cake. Although that isn’t true, being in a relationship is hard work, you need to try every day to keep your sparkle alive, your communication at 100%, and also deal with everyday stresses.
The thing is that no you should not stay in a relationship where you are unhappy, especially if the relationship is one-sided and your other half doesn’t want to try to make things better. Before calling it quits do take a look into your relationship from all angles.
- Are you communicating your feelings, sometimes your significant other doesn’t know how you are feeling, try to express your real feelings even if it may be hard.
- Dependence, sometimes your partner depends are on you so much because you have everything together that they don’t realize that you have needs also.
- If the arguments are always about the same thing over and over again, try to take a different approach, instead of yelling and screaming take a step back and breath and try to have a calm conversation about why the argument keeps coming up.
- Having children, yes having children puts a toll on your relationship but always try to keep your connection with your partner whether it be a date night a late-night conversation, or just cuddling before bedtime.
- Look into yourself, what do you want in life, are you missing some alone time, is there something that can be changed for you to feel 100% in the relationship.
- And lastly, why are you feeling so unsure, write it down on a list sometimes writing helps you really let your true feelings out.
After looking at your relationship from all angles you can now decide whether you really want to call it quits. The scary part is also knowing you will have to be alone, it may not be forever but for anyone in a relationship, we all know you grow dependent on another person. There is nothing to be afraid of, before you can grow with someone else you need to grow yourself, so sometimes it may be hard but also for the better.
If there are too many issues and conflicts in your relationship it may be because that person is just not for you, maybe you have grown out of the relationship and need some time to find yourself.
