Let's face it - Relationships can be tough. When they are good, they are GREAT! But, when they are challenging, you just want to run and stick your head in a bag, box, closed space - literally or figuratively speaking. You get my gist!
And, if you are like me, we tend to see things in black and white in our relationships, not enough gray! This is what I mean, it's easier to justify leaving a relationship when there are hardcore dysfunctionalities to it i.e. abuse, alcoholism, unfit parent, etc.
It's much harder to figure out when to leave a relationship when things are gray i.e. "You're not happy." "You've grown apart." "You're not getting your sexual needs met." "You don't feel supported or as if your relationship is a partnership."
See, this is is when it gets tough. Being in a relationship is like being on a team. But, sometimes the hard part is you think you may be on the wrong team and you're not sure if you should see it through or not.
