Why You Should Never Stay In An Unhappy Relationship

Spread the love

You hear people talking about being in a relationship in which they are not happy all the time. You will often think to yourself, why are they putting themselves through that, and there are multiple answers. Some people stay out of fear that nobody else is going to want them. Some people stay because they simply enjoy being with someone at all times. No matter what the reason though, staying in an unhappy relationship is not healthy for you, and you need to get out as soon as you can. If you want to know more about why this is the case, keep reading down below.

There’s Something Better For You

One of the reasons that you shouldn’t stay in an unhappy relationship is because there is something better out there for you. You deserve more than to be in a situation where you simply aren’t happy, because there are things out there that will bring out that wonderful smile. You might not believe us right now, but there is always something better than being unhappy, even if that means being alone for a little while. We’re not saying that it’s going to be easy, but it’s still the right thing for you.

You don’t have to be in a romantic relationship either. Some of the things that could be better for you might be pushing yourself to find a new job. Or, you might take up a new hobby and meet some new friends. Your life is not judged based on who you are with, and it’s time that you realized that.

 

If You Have Kids

If you have kids then the last thing you want to teach them is that you should do the things that make you unhappy. Kids will always be better off with two parents that are apart than two that are together and unhappy. It will create a toxic environment in the home, and give your kids the wrong views on ‘love’. It might be the case that you are married and have decided to stay that way for the sake of the children, but this should never be a deciding factor. Look up divorce solicitors and go out there to find the thing that will make you happier than ever before.

You should always be teaching your kids to chase whatever makes them happy, but how can you expect them to do that when you’re not setting that example? You’ve got to live what you teach, so don’t worry about anything else other than your kids and their future. 

Hopefully, you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the reasons why you should never stay in an unhappy relationship. Of course, you should give things time if they are recently becoming difficult because you never know if it’s just one of those phases that couples go through. However, if youknow that you are unhappy, and you don’t see it getting better, letting go is the best option for everyone. We wish you nothing but luck.

Hi, I’m Christine

Have you been a wholehearted mother, but time, toddlers and teenagers have moved on? If you are wondering what comes next for you, you’ll feel right at home here.

Or, are you a mom for whom family life has been non-Pinworthy and parenting has been downright painful? I hear ya. There are many of us around.

Are you looking for a life full of exploration and adventure after the nest empties, but maybe you have no idea how to go about doing that? Stick around! We’ll explore adventures together to help you gain more clarity for your own path.

After a couple decades of writing books and articles about parenting, homeschooling and adoption, speaking to homeschoolers and other parent groups, and reaching out to the mom in the trenches who was trying to make the best of it - my kids grew up. Some grew up and grew away. I was determined to find a way out of the pain, emptiness and lack of direction.

For many of us, the journey starts with something we moms are not accustomed to. After years of caring for and serving others, sometimes we forget the beauty and wonder of US. We need to spend some time getting to know the parts of ourselves that have lain dormant, and take the time to explore interests and passions that we set aside.

I’d like to invite you to get the “What’s Next for Mom” workbook and jump into this growing tribe of Moms who are emptying the nest and filling the life! Let’s reignite your Mojo after Mothering!
