Bad relationship / what about me

Good relationship's take work and more work. There are signs that a bad relationship is forming from one that at one point was solid and full of love and hope.

All too often couples go through what seems like a never ending rough patch, totally oblivious to the signs that their relationship is slowly but certainly vanishing....almost unsavable.

It is not uncommon to hold on to the relationship because it was once good and they hope it will get good again. Do not hope, make it happen.

If you are going through a bad patch and don't know if you should or shouldn't call it quits, here are a few signs.

1. You always feel frustrated about your relationship. Your wants and needs are never met.

2. You will say or do anything to avoid spending any time together, let alone quality time.

3. You are being abused physically or emotionally, sometimes the latter is worse.

4. The once overpowering feelings you had are now nowhere to be found.

5. You have sacrificed everything for this person and got nothing in return.

6. You have changed who you are to please them.

7. You look in the mirror and don't recognize the person staring back at you.

8. You have disconnected yourself from friends and family for this person, to no avail.

9. You feel unappreciated.

10. You long for the yesterdays.

If you recognize any of these signs in you and your relationship it is a very clear sign that maybe it is time to call it quits, if you recognize more than 5 of them it is definitely time to end it.

Couples therapy, in my personal opinion is simply post-poning the inevitable.

It may be hard to say goodbye, but think about your future, do you really want to live this way? Hope can be a dngerous thing, especially in a relationship. Remember who you are and what you are worth.

Chances are you are worth more than this type of lifestyle.

Any relationship is about love and caring, yes there may be a few hard times, we all have them, however if you are beginning to doubt your love, there is someone out there for you to be with forever.

Believe in yourself, otherwise it's hard for anyone else to.
