LETTING GO OF THE PERSON WHO NO LONGER MEETS WITH YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Sometimes we stay in a committed relationship whether it is a romantic one, a friendship or it could be even a job out of guilt. We may not have the courage to tell the other person how we truly feel as we may feel obliged to stay in that relationship. Also getting to know someone new is a daunting experience.So out of comfort we stay in the same relationship although this might start to feel uncomfortable during the long term which can lead to unhappiness, depression, anxiety. 

The relationship might have run it's course. It is probably too repetitive or things might have moved too fast and you might not have had the courage to have your opinion. Sometimes the other person might have a dominant presence and at times they may not fulfill your desires. 

The thought of changing your lifestyle might sound terrifying or discussing this subject with your committed relationship is something you might not want to do because you might be worried about the implications and the effect that it might have on them or anyone else that is involved such as young children, assets, contracts, financial security family members etc. Your partner is really happy in the relationship and you are probably dissatisfied at some capacity. 

Just because you are unhappy doesn't make you a bad person at all. You don't love them any less. In fact you are even more loving to let them go as you will be honest not only to them also to yourself. You will both do each other a favour and life will become a lot easier. Even if children are involved it is better for the long term to end the unhappy relationship so that children can have a better life. As long as the break up is done immaculately. 

I am not advising on what you should do as it is between you and your partner. However this article is just an insight on how you might be feeling and simply to help you let go of the guilt and anxious thoughts. It is better to be honest than keep things bottled up. Have a heart to heart with your partner and see what will work for the both of you. If you are in a toxic relationship than please talk to someone that can help you. 

Thank you for reading this week's post. I am glad that this may have brought you some comfort in any way.
