When to Stay and When to Get Out of a Problematic Relationship
By Laura Rupert
We all want to be in a relationship. Sometimes so much that we stay in them even when they are no longer healthy or even functioning for that matter. All relationships have ups and downs and that should be expected. However, you should know when a relationship is over and when there is something left to save. When you can determine this information then you will be able to tell whether you should stay or leave for your own happiness.
The first suggestion regarding relationships in trouble is to evaluate if there is still love, respect, and mutual caring in the relationship. If there is, then there is something to salvage. You should sit down with your husband or wife and discuss the problems that exist in the relationship and how you can both work to correct them. A relationship is not one sided and it takes work and commitment from both sides. So, if both parties are willing to work together to overcome the problems while showing love and respect for the other then the relationship is salvageable. This is the case even after infidelity, money problems, opposing religious beliefs, problems with children and other family members. As long as both parties are willing to work and get the relationship back on track then there is hope. It is not guaranteed the relationship will work out, but it is a good reason to stay and try.
On the other hand, if only one of the parties in the relationship is willing to work at getting back on track or if neither parties care about respecting the other or finding the love they once had then the relationship should be dissolved so both individuals can find love and happiness again. This does not matter if there is abuse, whether mentally or verbally, or simply disrespect or not caring about the other individual in the relationship. When there is no respect, love, or caring left in the relationship whether on one part or both it is time to leave the relationship in search of something new.
This is the most difficult part for many men and women because they like the security of their lives, whether it is good or bad, it is something they know. Unfortunately, it can leave many scars and deep unhappiness. So, if you find yourself in this situation don't stick around letting things get worse. Try to straighten them out and if that is not an option then it is time to pack your bags in search of something new.
