Love Relationships: Something to think about before breaking up.

   

  This post is for those who have gotten turned around and need to catch up on how a love relationship is supposed to work which seems like quite a few couples have forgotten the rules these days.  Real relationships have never been a one-way street or easy for that matter.  Life is difficult enough as it is without constantly having to look backward to watch your own back.  Trust, honesty, understanding, and communication, are important for a start. It takes time to get to know someone especially if you both plan to take it to the next level.  Something I know a little about having been there a couple of times myself.

  If you are seriously contemplating a breakup, several important factors must be considered. Here are some key points:

1. Mutual Trust: Evaluate whether trust remains strong in your relationship. Trust is essential for healthy partnerships.
2. Aligned Core Values: Reflect on whether your core values align with your partner’s. While differences exist, shared values can strengthen your relationship.
3. Desired Future: Consider whether you both want similar things in life. A shared vision for the future can be a positive sign.
4. Commitment to Resolution: Are you both committed to resolving issues? Willingness to work through problems matters.
5. Authenticity: Can you be yourself around your partner? Authenticity fosters a healthy connection.
6. Complementary Differences: Recognize that subtle differences need not be deal-breakers; they can enrich your relationship.
7. Willingness to Forgive: Forgiveness is crucial. Holding grudges can harm relationships.
8. Respect: Assess whether you share mutual respect. Respect is vital for a lasting partnership.
9. Overall Experience: Reflect on whether your time together is mainly positive.

Remember, breaking up should be done thoughtfully and considerately. Acknowledge that it will cause pain on both sides, have an honest face-to-face conversation, and avoid shaming or blaming. Additionally, consider practical aspects like having a place to stay and financial independence. Take care during this challenging time!
