10 Reasons to take a break from a Relationship
When we fall in love, it can be hard to see the warning signs that a relationship is going south. Take myself, for example: I spent years with my ex-boyfriend because I believed we were soul mates and that our problems would eventually work themselves out. In the end, however, those problems only got worse and he even cheated on me with a Bradford escort and prevented me from finding true happiness.
It wasn’t until after our breakup that I realized what had been missing in our relationship all along: space. The space between us had become so small that neither of us could breathe; we needed time apart if there was ever going to be any hope for us as a couple.
So if you feel like things aren’t working out between you and your partner (or even your potential partner), then maybe taking a break from dating could do some good. Here are 10 reasons why taking time away from relationships can benefit both parties.
If you fight often
When your partner is in a bad mood, it can be hard to keep your cool. But that’s exactly what you need to do. If you get angry about anything, your relationship will be filled with fighting and arguing instead of love and affection.
It’s also important to remember that your partner isn’t always going to be happy, even when they’re with you. This can make it easier for you to take their moods personally and feel like they’re blaming the relationship for something that’s wrong with you, rather than some days being harder than others for everyone (even if those days aren’t better).
Try not to let his negative attitude affect yours; instead of getting angry or scared about his discomfort, think about whether there is something else in his life that might be making him unhappy. You can also try talking things out yourself so that neither of you feel that he is being blamed for the problems.
If your emotional needs are not being met
One of the most important reasons to take a break is if your emotional needs are not being met.
It is important to distinguish which of these two types of needs are involved: sexual and emotional. While both can be very important in a relationship, they often require very different things from the other party. For example, someone may want sex at the drop of a hat, but only want their partner when they feel like it or when there is something exciting going on. This is probably not going to work for long-term happiness or satisfaction in your relationship. Read More...
