Time and time again, we see people remain in a bad relationship instead of quitting. Sometimes they know the relationship isn’t worth it but they still find it difficult ending that bad relationship. Some relationships are just too difficult to end and move on.
If we can be honest with ourselves, we would find that we have all had this one relationship we knew we should have ended but we just couldn’t end it.
Why is it really so? Below are 5 reasons why people find it difficult to end a bad relationship
1. LOVE IS BLIND
If you have ever been in love, you would definitely understand what i mean. When you are truly in love, you become blind to everything. You don’t see the wrongs of your partner. This helps when you are in a good and healthy relationship but when you are in a bad relationship, it can really become a huge problem. The feelings you have for your partner just has a way of working against you when you know the relationship you are in isn’t healthy. The emotions make it difficult leaving. In situations like this, you need to understand that if you really love yourself, you would seek for what’s best for you and that’s quitting that terrible relationship.
2. YOU ARE SCARED OF HAVING REGRETS
Another reason why people find it difficult ending a relationship is that they are scared of having regrets and this is where our mind works against us. The thought of “what if?” would find a way of filling our thoughts and thereby getting us really confused.
3. YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN STILL MAKE IT WORK
Sometimes we still believe we can still make it work even when it’s obvious the relationship would never work. There is nothing really wrong in trying to put every single effort in making it work but is the relationship really worth it and is your partner really ready to do same?
4. YOU FEAR THAT YOUR EFFORTS WOULD BE IN VAIN
Sometimes, people fear that their efforts in the relationship might just be in vain if they quit the relationship. They think about all the time and money invested in the relationship and this hinders them from moving on. Even though it might seem like wasted efforts when you move on, you should understand that when you leave a bad relationship, you would always gain everything and even more. Look at what you stand to gain if you leave that relationship and not what you stand to lose.
5. YOU FIND IT DIFFICULT IMAGINING LIFE WITHOUT HIM/HER
People remain in bad relationships because they just can’t imagine life without their partner and this is really sad. It’s even more difficult when you have been in the relationship for a very long time and you have basically done everything together with your partner. The truth is your partner won’t treat you bad if they are the best for you. If you feel so connected with someone who wasn’t good to you, imagine the connection you would have with someone who treats you special. It’s important you overcome this fear and end that bad relationship.
It’s important you know that quitting a bad relationship remains the best option for you.
