Reasons for leaving your relationship

People have many different reasons for leaving their relationship. Some are valid reasons, some are quite creative and others are just really bad excuses.

Relationships are hard work, there is no arguing that, only because it is two completely different people from completely different upbringings coming together working to make a life together, there is going to be some conflict along the way. But it takes commitment and the willingness to work through difficult times to come out stronger on the other side.

Most issues in a relationship can be worked through whether it is privately or with professional help, you just need to be willing to do so.

There are Exceptions and they are:

Verbal and Physical Abuse

This one is definitely the one that should never be accepted under any circumstances and should be on top of everybody’s list no matter who you are and what the circumstances are, if there is any form of abuse in your relationship, at first sight, you need to run for the door as fast as you can with no explanations or justifications needed because once it starts, it will never stop, no matter what the abuser promises you and how many times they apologize.

These below in my opinion and experience, all eventually lead to some form of abuse, so watch out for them:

Addictions

Addiction may come in many forms from alcohol and drugs to simply playing online games which over time causes a long line of different problems in your relationship as your partner’s addiction will become their top priority.

Sometimes people who have addictions, when confronted by their partners often react in a defensive and abusive way and cannot or are not willing to change or seek help then the best thing to do is to leave.

Jealousy
Jealousy is often deceived as some sort of display of affection. I suppose it depends on the severity, in my opinion a little jealousy in a playful way is good in your relationship it shows each other that you care.

Jealousy becomes a problem when it takes over your relationship and your partner gets really angry and upset with you every time you talk to, text, call or hang out with other person which leads to them becoming obsessed and they spy on your every move by checking your online activities and they even go as far as following you around.

Resentment.

You notice that your partner’s behavior has changed drastically towards you.  It feels so cold and distant. You feel that they do not want to spend as much time with you anymore, they seem distracted and angry with you all the time and refuse to discuss anything with you and if they do they lash out at you using verbal and emotional abuse. Your only defense is to leave them alone and not talk to them at all.

Take a long hard look at what your reasons are for wanting to leave your relationship and decide whether you can possibly work on your issues or not.

But if you find yourself stuck in an abusive relationship of any sort and don’t know how to get out or are too scared to. Please seek professional help.
