5 Signs It’s Time To Let Go Of Your Relationship by binoosmart(m): 11:31pm On Dec 04, 2015 |
Sometimes a relationship ends in a big way. Maybe you and your SO got in a huge fight or one of you seriously broke the other's trust. But other times, it's not so clear. All relationships go through problems, so when things just start to feel off, it can be difficult to tell whether relationship needs to end or whether it just needs a little TLC to make things better. Everyday details can make a significant difference in a relationship, but are they worth breaking up over? Or is this just your typical rough patch? I think these tips will be of help to you, work through your problems with some sure signs it's time to let go. 1. Your relationship consistently isn't satisfying your needs; If you feel unhappy more often than not in your relationship, then it's definitely time to take a closer look at what's going on. To do this, Jeffrey Sumber, a licensed professional clinical counselor, recommends making the distinction between non-negotiable needs and wants. 2. You're being physically or emotionally abused; If your partner abuses you physically even once, it's time to walk away. You should never tolerate violence in a relationship. However, there are more types of abuse than just physical abuse. We often overlook emotional abuse in relationships. We may even attribute the feelings associated with it to one partner's oversensitivity or already low self-esteem. But if your Partner makes you feel bad about yourself or always points out your flaws, you need to take those feelings seriously and leave. "Any partner who uses physical violence will do it again," Sumber says. "The challenge is to also consider the emotional violence, or abuse, that happens if one partner is constantly chipping away at the other's self-esteem. I don't think that a partner ever has the right to say you look terrible, because we are all beautiful and we all have gifts and we all have challenges." If your partner critiques your appearance, your intelligence or anything else about you in a way that is hurtful and not at all helpful, it's time to break up. 3. You're not communicating; Do you and your partner speak less and less to each other when you're apart? Have you stopped sharing your feelings with each other? Or maybe you just have nothing to say. Communication issues are all too common in relationships, and if you're experiencing them, it's time to take a look at the causes behind them. If you and your partner have been together for some time and your conversations still feel forced and uninteresting, you may not really be compatible. 4. You're no longer excited by your relationship; You're young. You're in the prime of your life. And you're totally bored. It's clear that things can't stay the way they are, so you need to figure out what's going on. Like communication issues, sometimes boredom is actually the symptom of a rough patch. @Binoosmart says that you can't force your partner to be more interesting; you can only make sure that you are living a life you personally find exciting and fulfilling. "If your partner continuously finds it easy to turn away from you at your best and most fascinating and is not interested in ever being fascinating, warm and loving to you anymore, you will become bored, and you'll know they are not the one for you," @Binoosmart says. 5. You feel pressured to change; If you feel like you have to change for your SO, then you're likely not with the right partner in the first place. Although your partner might help you grow as a person or give you respectful suggestions for self- improvement, you should never feel like your back is up against a wall. If you and your partner have different goals and values, consider this: It is possible that your partner can challenge you to consider perspectives that you have never thought of before, and this could be a good thing. "In our twenties, we are evolving in our understanding of self." "It's likely that most of our values are constantly evolving. If we get stuck in our values, we become stuck and stagnant." But if your partner is pressuring you beyond your comfort level to change your own values, you need to call it quits. Ask yourself, "What is truly in alignment with what I am? Is my partner making demands I'm not comfortable with, or is my partner challenging my boundaries?" Even with something as simple as a haircut, your partner should never make you feel like being who you are is a deal-breaker. And if you feel like that's the case, it's time to move on. When you find yourself wondering if your relationship is meant to last, I recommends asking yourself, "Who am I? What do I need? And what will I do about it?" And if it turns out that your relationship isn't just in a rough patch, it's going to be okay. No matter what, you deserve a life that fulfills you, relationship included. And, as @Binoosmart says, "Why would you settle for less than a wonderful love life? Source : www.rollinggist.com/2015/12/5-signs-its-time-to-let-go-of-your.html |

binoosmart: Shhhhhhhh!!!! . No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement. Give others the privilege to explain themselves. What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others. Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first. |
