Once upon a time, I understood why people stayed in bad relationships. I understood this, because I was one of them. But then I woke up, realized I wanted to be happy, and I wanted my life to be happy, and that's when I said ta-ta to bad relationships. Now I'm here to tell others to wake up. Life's too short to be stuck with someone you don't actually enjoy being stuck with.
Key Points:
He's too nice to break up with, she's not that crazy, and I don't want to hurt them are not good reasons to stay in a relationship
If you stay in a bad relationship, it prevents you from being open and free to meet someone you could actually have a good relationship with
Not everyone can ounce back from a huge, explosive fight, and pretend like everything is fine
We take after our parents: the good, the bad, the ugly, and sometimes the complete opposite - they show us what not to do
I had to wake up and stop blaming my parents failed relationship for all of my failed relationships
I think the other way can be true too, people with rock-solid parents, might get stuck in not-so-good relationships to have that same consistency
Dating should be a progression, if your relationships seem to be getting over time, you need to sit down and evaluate what's worked in the past and what hasn't worked in the past
Take your time! Don't jump into bed with someone right away (not that I'm judging if you do, we've all been there)
You want someone who is also your friend, and making friends as an adult is freaking hard
I wouldn't have the happiness I have now, if I didn't have the courage to get out of relationships I was in before that weren't making me happy anymore
Your partner shouldn't have a million and three roles, it's too much pressure to put on one person
What makes friendships so successful should be the core roots to your intimate relationships with someone
Fix the small issues, deal with the hiccups. But when the foundation starts to go? Are you hiring someone to help you out, or are you looking for a new home?
