Most of us, if we're open to being really honest with ourselves, are usually willing to accept that no relationship is one hundred percent all of the time. And the truth is no relationship can be, as there will be moments when either our partner, or us ( be honest now), will simply not be in sync. And that's okay. The problem is that oftentimes, we don’t realise we are dealing with an unhealthy relationship, until we pause, take a step back and reflect.
Nobody wants to admit that they are in a relationship that doesn’t seem to be working, and spotting the signs of trouble isn't always easy. However, unhealthy relationships don't always have to mean the end, and it's possible to work through issues with open communication.
Sometimes, simply identifying the issues in a relationship can be the perfect springboard for further discussion to repair the situation.
In some situations, it may be wise to identify issues, try to come to a solution, and if you can’t, move on knowing you’ve cleared the air. Identifying problems can lead to discussions to improve the situation. And, if a resolution cannot be reached, it may be best to move on after clearing the air.
Before making any major decisions, consider our tips for recognising an unhealthy relationship.
You Apologise Constantly
If you haven’t done anything wrong, but your partner is making you feel a little bit self-conscious, awkward, or as though you should apologise, chances are you are in an unhealthy relationship.
You shouldn’t feel the need to apologise constantly. Sometimes anxiety and issues with our self-esteem can make us feel like we must be particularly apologetic. If your partner makes you feel this way, you should consider addressing the issue.
You Don’t Make Each Other Laugh
Laughter brings a lot of happiness and is crucial for a strong, healthy relationship.
If laughter has disappeared from your relationship, or if you can't recall the last time you laughed together, it might be beneficial to spend some quality time together and explore the reasons behind this.
Constant Arguments
If you can't go more than a few minutes without arguing with your partner, or you both are continually snapping at one another, it may be a sign that you’re in an unhealthy relationship.
If your relationship is making you feel stressed more than it is making you happy, and you can’t stop arguing with each other, then it may be time to address the problem.
It is possible there is a communication problem and you are making each other unhappy.
Lack of Quality Time
Life is busy and sometimes couples barely see each other. If you don’t see each other, then you don’t have the opportunity to bond and connect. Spending little time together can weaken the bond between partners
If you’re barely even seeing or acknowledging each other, then your relationship may not be stable, and you may not feel as though you have a partner!
Emotional Distress
Essentially, if your partner is making you so miserable that you’ve found yourself having sleepless nights, being sad, or crying for no reason, then there are clear issues.
If your partners actions or behaviours is making you sad and they are refusing to acknowledge apologise or take responsibility for their role, then there is a breakdown in the relationship.
Your relationship should be a happy one. All couples fight and have their issues, but compromise responsibility and acceptance are important building blocks in a relationship.
If you find you are constantly miserable, then it may be worth addressing your unhealthy relationship and either rectifying it or wishing each other well and seeking happiness independently.
Remember, a healthy relationship should bring joy and happiness. While all couples face challenges, mutual respect and compromise are key. If you find yourself constantly unhappy, it may be necessary to address the issues in your relationship and work towards a resolution or consider parting ways to find happiness. Both partners deserve to be content in a stable, loving relationship.
