How To Know When Its Time To End Your Relationship
October 15, 2009
A long-term relationship requires commitment and time to make it successful especially when it comes to marriage. These relationships may put you on top of the world but on the other side, it may drag you down to the dumps.
However, what if you are asked to rate your relationship on a scale of 1 to 10? If your relationship scores 7 on a of 10 , what option are you left with? Should you be committed to the same person or look for something better?
This is one of the most dreadful states of ambivalence. You are in a confused state of mind and not sure what to do. You could look for someone new and better, but what if you are having the best and are not able to recognize its importance?
You could clear all your confusion by reding the best selling books by Mira Kirshenbaum. The book ‘Too good to leave To bad to stay’ points out all the wrong things you can do to make your decision.
To weigh your decision by considering the pros and corns is one of the wrong ways. It might sound logical, but may not help you make the right decision and find what you were looking for.
Every relationship has its pros and cons, so question that arises is this – How will you rate your relationship on a scale of fatal, tolerable or even wonderful. If you are going through pros and cons logic, then the pros will tell you to stay and the cons will tell you to leave.
This book would give you a new diagnostic approach to solve your problem. These approaches tell you to weigh your relationship on its true status and not by rating on a scale.
This approach would give you the appropriate information that is required for making your decision. These diagnostic approaches take you through a series of 36 yes and no questions.
These questions are to the point and are explained through several pages of text. Each question will pass you through the filter and if your pass, you are promoted to next question. If you fail to pass a single question, it will advise you to leave the relationship.
Some of the points from the book which you would find helpful are:
If your relationship is asking more commitment than before, and you are finding difficult to meet the needs its better to leave the relationship.
Ask yourself whether you really like and love your partner ? If the answer is no, then the relationship is long dead.
Do you and your partner have mutual respect for each other? If the answer is no, then it’s time to leave the relationship.
