So , you are wondering about whether your relationship is worth holding onto? I can understand that sentiment. After all , you invest so much time and energy into a relationship, it can be difficult to let go and face the dismaying proposition of starting over again.
Plus, there's the likelihood that you probably love your better half too. Can't all disagreements just be worked out with a little understanding?
Well, first here are a couple of things to consider:
Is this a lingering problem in your relationship? - If you have been having that issue in your relationship for some time now, will getting together again or working through this rough patch do a lot more than just pacify the situation, only to have it explode again later?
If your relationship is going to stand the test of time, you're going to need to find methods correct the problem, so that the core issue is taken care of. Otherwise, you are just biding time until the problem rears its ugly head again and you're right back where you were to begin with.
What's the overall flavor of your relationship? - If the tone is suggested by emotions of resentment, resistence, and negativity, then there really may not be enough mutual respect between you and your other half to justify continuing the relationship.
Robust relationships are built on a foundation of love and respect for one another. If this isn't an active ingredient in your relationship, then what's holding it together? Desperation? Loneliness? Codependency? None of these are sound excuses to stay in a committed relationship.
Do the Both of You Share a Vision for Your Future? - Successful couples also have dreams together and they grow together as they struggle for a united goal. It aids in keeping them on the "same team" rather than as possible enemies.
Maybe you and your partner are having trouble because you've lost touch with that common dream or because that was not there to start with. Either way, make an effort to think about if you both have compatible dreams and goals in life. If you don't, then maybe the relationship isn't intended to be.
Consider these 3 things when asking yourself if your relationship would be saved or if its better to just move on and start over again with somebody new. Though the immediate loss of a relationship can leave you feeling grief-stricken, it is ultimately better than settling for an unsatisfactory relationship that seems like more work than reward.
