The 5 Biggest Reasons Couples Break Up
It seems the list of reasons for a
relationship exploding is never ending. The things that annoy or enrage us
about each other can sometimes seem so long it’s a wonder that anyone stays
together at all. But when you stop looking at every minute individual thing,
it’s possible to gather reasons together, and you’ll discover that when you do
that, it is much easier to see what to steer clear of.
The vast majority of all breakups
are caused by the following groups of triggers: Stop
your break up by avoiding these mistakes:
1.
Infidelity
This
is important! Relationships are created on trust, and the foundation of that
trust, in a traditional relationship at least, is an exclusive physical bond.
When one of the partners breaches that trust by becoming physically intimate
with someone else, the setback is very hard to recuperate from. If the
relationship survives the initial incident there is always going to be doubt
about the level of trust between you. The best way of recovering from this
problem is never to put yourself in the position in the first place.
2.
Boredom
Some
relationships just get uninteresting. One partner or the other, or sometimes
both, will just become aware they are not having fun in the relationship
anymore. The worst part is when two people recognize they are still together
out of habit, not out of love. Restoring a flame is certainly possible, but
when your relationship gets to this point you need to realize that it is going
to take some real effort to pick it up and get going again.
3.
Too Much Control/Not Enough Freedom
Ether
way you look at it this is dangerous. A controlling partner wants to guide
someone into their idea of a perfect partner. Generally they won’t trust them
enough to give them freedom to grow and be themselves. When you don’t trust
your partner it is always very hard to be in a relationship. From the other
perspective, having a controlling partner is a nightmare. You just don’t have
room to be you or freedom to enjoy the things that make you unique. You are
smothered and unhappy. It’s not the end of the road when a relationship goes
down this path, but it is very difficult for a controlling partner to give up
their control.
4.
Conflicts
When
you are a couple there is plenty to argue over. Money is usually amongst the
top things to start an argument. Sometimes it’s difficult enough to run your
own life without having to deal with someone else’s. Couples can argue over
anything from the way he looked at another girl to the way she looks in a
dress. The list is really infinite. Where you find yourselves arguing a lot
it’s best to take a bigger picture look and ask if you are arguing about the
toilet seat being left up, or whether the true cause of your frustration is
something deeper than that.
5.
The Little Things
Here
I’m talking about those little annoyances that grate and grate over time and
become big annoyances. Anything from cracking knuckles to the way he chews his
food can be an frustration that grows over time. Luckily it’s usually pretty
easy to straighten these out. Just take a chill pill and don’t be bugged by
them so much. Where that’s not possible let your partner know they are bothering
you. They probably have no idea, and with a little conscious effort can stop
the offending habit relatively quickly. |
