Dear Sybersue discusses a common relationship question. Should you stay in a partnership that is constantly having problems?
Are you breaking up and getting back together all the time? Can it work, or is it time to move on to a healthier place? How often have you heard the story about the couple who were constantly breaking up and getting back together? They finally get married and then end up divorced a few years later.
When things are good in a relationship, there is not that much drama.
There will always be little arguments over the years. However, taking numerous breaks or actually breaking up is a sign. Or should I say, it’s a HUGE RED FLAG. This indicates that things are not meant to be with you as a couple.
You shouldn’t have to talk yourself into being there. Please don’t settle in your relationship because it is better than being single. This realization often stems from being in a nightmare dating pool for a long time. Compatibility is crucial. If there are too many obstacles or opposing viewpoints, being together becomes a repetitive daily struggle. Love shouldn’t be forced or constantly compromised for each other. It needs to be reciprocated and respected!
Don’t waste too much time fighting through so many obstacles just to be with someone.
Move on to a healthier place. It is important to be best friends and romantic partners when in a committed partnership. It should be a stress-free and loving environment. Communication is so important for couples and is the natural way to work through relationship problems. Sometimes you’re just not on the same page with how to navigate through life together as a couple.
Know when the relationship has fizzled beyond repair. Take away the good things you learned from it. Be thankful for your time together and leave the anger behind. It takes two to make or break a relationship. Own your part as to why things didn’t work out and move along to being an even better you. There is always a valuable message to learn from your past relationships and dating experiences. Understanding this will lead you to a much better partnership down the road.
