Should I Stay Or Should I Go - Do You Leave Relationships Too Soon?
Send us a text
Many people wonder whether their relationship is worth persisting with. They might not be entirely happy with their partner's view points, their mannerisms or some of their behaviours. They may not feel attracted enough. In today's episodes we consider whether you may be leaving your relationships too soon, not giving them enough time to fully explore whether you might be on to a good thing here.
Relationships go through different stages and the question about staying or going often emerges either very early on, after a few dates, or after the initial honey moon phase.
Often, the question of leaving arises when there is a big gap between your idealised version of a partner and the actual reality of the person in front of you. In particular, if your attachment style tends to be on the avoidant-dismissive side you are more likely to leave relationships sooner rather than later.
In this podcast episode we consider the factors that matter in relationships and also some of those that may indicate that your relationship is in trouble.
