Does that question… “As the year ends does your
relationship need to?” hit too close to home? If you're in a romantic
relationship or marriage, is there an event happening in your life right now
that will motivate you to re-evaluate it and assess how well your current
relationship satisfies your needs?
Consider these examples: a woman had causally dated a man
for years and her partner had grown impatient and finally said to her,
"Either let's commit to each other and get married, or end our
relationship." Another person didn't spend much time in his relationship,
always working or playing golf with his buddies. Now that his wife was very
ill, he needed to accept greater responsibility for taking care of her. In
another situation: After a two-year affair with a married man, a woman realized
her relationship was never going to be more than an affair.
But sometimes, you are so deep in the trenches that you
can’t even see the mess you are in until it is too late. When it comes to
relationships, some of us have had the unfortunate but eye-opening experience
of being in an extremely toxic one. Most likely, our first experience was
enough to be our last, if we were lucky enough to learn from our mistakes and
never get involved in one of those types again.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Whether it’s gambling, drugs, alcohol or something else,
when your partner has become addicted to the point that it becomes a problem
and is affecting your well being, or they have betrayed your trust, the
relationship is doomed. If they do not wish to stop and continue their
addictive behavior, then it would be in your best interest to leave.
Although our lovely media have made you believe lying is
normal for men and women, it’s not normal for a healthy relationship. The most
important thing that needs to be in place in order to have a real, deep and
meaningful relationship with someone else is trust. If you can’t tell someone
the truth and are constantly finding ways to avoid being in trouble, or avoid
confrontation, then you should reconsider what you are doing.
Over time, people can begin to drift apart; interests
change, goals change, and people begin to want to take a different path in
life. If you are starting to feel this way towards your relationship, you MUST
tell your partner the truth. It is unfair to keep dragging yourself and your
partner along just because you are afraid to hurt someone’s feelings.
If your relationship is a marriage you can benefit from

both partners. A simple phone call can start the process. 480-777-5500
