Too Broken To Fix? Knowing When To Stay In A Relationship & When To Leave
We’ve all been there before- in a relationship with a guy we really (or at least kinda) like but something just doesn’t seem right. You may not be able to put your finger on exactly what it is, but your gut tells you that something about the relationship just isn’t as good as it could- or should- be. Maybe he’s not spending enough time with you. Maybe he’s never introduced you to his friends or his family. Or maybe he just always seems aloof and not really “there.”
So why not just say “adios” to this guy and start the hunt for the next fella? Well… because, despite all his faults and quirky ways, you like THIS guy… Sigh… So what’s a girl to do? Do you stay or do you go?
We found a great post about this dilemma on YourTango.com:
Some relationships are obvious clunkers: the drug addict, the physically violent, the partner who sneaks out of your birthday dinner a million times to text his “platonic” friend Marianne. These are the people your friends beg you to leave, but you stay because you’re recreating or rectifying some twisted family dynamic you’ve never grown beyond. If that’s the case, no self-help article is going to help you; yours is the realm of a qualified therapist. But putting aside the relationship that screams “get out while you still can”—often, the question of whether to stay or go isn’t simple. “Good” people can still have bad relationships with each other, and it can be hard to recognize that a couple is doomed if your partner isn’t an obvious loser.
