Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Things You’ll Need:
- Self esteem
- Support system
- Courage
Step1
Be honest with yourself. We have all been there; your in love, everything is great, than something happens. Things start to change, we find ourselves disenchanted, we find ourselves going through the motions. Relationships take compromise and nurturing but if it takes that much work, is it worth it?
Step2
Be honest with your partner. Not telling your partner how you feel isn't fair to either of you. Sometimes yes, people stay together because of their kids. people stay because they have years and years invested, they own businesses and homes together. When is it time to walk away if you are not happy? When is it time to start enjoying your life again?
Step3
Be strong. It's not easy to tell someone we care for we don't want to be with them, but it is better than staying out of pity or obligation. Things change, it happens. You owe it to yourself to be happy, no one is going to live your life for you so you may as well make your life what you want, get out of it what you can. Sometimes we become disenchanted, we grow apart, we don't relate to out spouse, it's okay. Sometimes the person we are with becomes a part of the pavement, sorta like a pet, they don't want to do anything, share any interests, they are a good person but they are depressed, life to them is lackluster, you don't want anyone dragging you down do you?
If things haven't been working out after trying , if it takes too much, maybe it is time to chalk it up to experience and move on.
