Real talk about dating and relationships

Recently, a woman asked me this question while I was out at night. She felt left behind by her boyfriend in her relationship and wondered if some time apart might help resolve their issues. She thought that by doing this, he would miss her and realize how much he loved her.

It’s difficult to solve long-term problems by spending some time apart.

When your partner starts to withdraw from the relationship, it becomes very one-sided. In many ways, they are already at rest. Some of them are censored and don’t serve you the way they should.

You must communicate regularly as a couple to resolve any issues that arise at the time. Leaving a problem unaddressed is the beginning of future problems. Any concerns should be expressed before escalation. Allowing things to fester is a big mistake many couples make.

How will you resolve these issues by taking a break from the relationship? Taking a break can open another door and may actually end your relationship. This is especially true if you start dating or sleeping with someone else during your break!

The first priority is to find out why your relationship as a couple has changed.

• What has been the biggest change in your partnership?
• How long has this been going on?
• Are you holding on to “how things were” and not being entirely realistic about the fact that your feelings for him have changed?
• Have you expressed your concerns to him but nothing has changed? Does he acknowledge your feelings?
• are you afraid to speak The elephant in the room And hope things will work themselves out?
• Does he still tell you that he loves you? Is there still intimacy in your partnership?

Some people are afraid to ask these questions because they don’t want to hear the answers.

If you can’t express your concerns to your boyfriend, an unhealthy disconnect can develop between you. Sometimes, as a couple, you grow in different directions. This usually happens due to miscommunication or someone being emotionally distant. Get him to be really honest about how he feels about you and what he wants for the future.

Do you still love each other?

It’s time to be truly transparent with each other. If the answer to this question is yes, then your relationship is salvageable. Solving a problematic problem requires two people who care enough to solve the problem. Sit down and have an honest conversation. You must agree on how to rekindle the love in your partnership.

Couples counseling is useful when basic communication between you has diminished. Now is the time to bring in the professionals. They can start the process to help you find solutions to improve your current situation. There can be a lot of hurt feelings and trust issues that are often difficult to recover from.

Taking a break will only delay the inevitable.

Don’t passively wait for someone to exit your partnership. Being proactive is crucial. Rest avoids problems rather than solving them. It can also lead to emotional distance between you. If you’re not communicating in your relationship, taking time out isn’t going to improve things.

Of course, there are always exceptions. Sometimes, a short break and appropriate reciprocity rules and boundaries can help some couples. In this case, several days of open discussion and weekly consultation meetings need to be planned. You should also have a strict no-dating policy between you.

From my coaching experience:

Taking a break may seem like an easy way to relieve tension. However, it avoids the actual work required for a healthy relationship. Spending time apart can lead to more insecurities, making it difficult to rebuild trust and a deeper connection later on. It may also send mixed signals if communication between you is strained.

If couples add other romantic or intimate scenes to their breakup, new complications can arise. These behaviors will not repair the relationship, but will further widen the emotional distance between you. A person may also use breaks to defuse the imminent breakup of a partnership. Things began to unravel, and so did the couple’s hopes of reuniting.

It’s not pleasant to be on the receiving end. If your feelings for your partner have changed, it will be more respectful to be honest with them. Making someone wait is cowardly and heartbreaking for those sitting on the sidelines.

listen close What the other person said. Sometimes we shut up when we hear the truth. We stay in loveless relationships because we think our partners will change over time. Don’t sell yourself short by waiting for someone who isn’t there for you. It’s not just their needs.
