Should We Break Up
Been in a relationship awhile and not sure if you want to break up or not?
Your honey sure can frustrate you sometimes. But, everyone gets into tiffs every now and then. Everyone has little quirks that irritate the other. Right? Sure, that’s true but if it gets to the point where the overriding feeling is one of resentment and anger and you are in this state constantly, it may be time to reevaluate your relationship. As the song says, breaking up is hard to do. Nobody enjoys it and the decision to do so should not be taken lightly. It’s good you are questioning whether or not breaking up is the right thing to do. But, now that you are questioning it, it’s time to get some answers.
What does your partner think? No, not your friends. Not your mother. If you are at the point where you are seriously questioning whether or not it is right to break up, it’s time to have a sit down with your significant other. If you can not discuss the status of your relationship and openly communicate problems and come to a resolution, you might as well pack it in now. But if there’s a chance to salvage the relationship, it is worth a shot.
This is where the difficult part begins. You do need to sit down and openly and honestly discuss your feelings. Both of you need to come to a conclusion as to whether or not to try to work on the relationship or if it is better to cut ties now. If you decide to break up and it’s better to move on, then make a clean break. If you decide to work on it, make sure you know what the problems are from both points of view and come up with a plan of action to fix them. Then, you both have to be committed to sticking to your promises.
After you’ve had a talk and made a decision to stay together, don’t let your communication slide. Readdress the issues from time to time and take the pulse of the relationship. Is everything going smoother? If so, then that is wonderful. If not, it may be time for another talk, this time bringing up issues as to why the initial problems are not resolved. If you can not come to an agreement to live in harmony, the relationship will not work no matter how much you love each other. So, if your core issues are not resolved, it very well may time to break up.
