Q: At what point do I stop trying to make my relationship work and just move on?
A: Yikes….If you are really asking me that question, then I think you already have your answer. It’s okay for a relationship to end. It’s okay for you to look back and realize that you gave it your all and it’s time to move on. People change with time just like the rest of the world. What you fell in love with before might not be there anymore or it might not be what you want anymore. I understand that in some cultures and relationships that ending a marriage is considered a big sin, but if you feel as though that moving on is what’s best, then you will just need to rip that band-aid off and start over. Understand this, if it were easy, wouldn’t everyone do it?? Find your support group out there whether it be your group of friends, therapy, or someone else and lean on them. We’ve all been there before and survived, so it can be done! It’s probably safe to assume that if you feel this way, your partner feels the same way too, but they are also scared to confront the inevitable. Focus on your mind’s well-being and the rest will follow!!
