Communication feels strained and disconnected.
Silent treatments are frequent. At least these quiet periods are better than the constant arguing. You keep asking yourself every day, “Why are we constantly arguing?”
It breaks your heart that your children hear you fight. Now, you worry about your children dealing with trauma. You think about leaving but don’t want your children raised in two homes. So many fears keep coming into view.
The kids are the only reason why you’re still in this relationship. You have tried to do everything that your partner used to make them happy. Unfortunately, your partner’s lack of appreciation makes you feel worse. As a result, you keep blaming yourself for your partner’s behavior.
Where did the spark go? You have not had any physical or emotional intimacy in months or years.
Infidelity leaves you feeling insecure.
Your partner was unfaithful. They apologized, but you cannot seem to heal – creating a sense of distance for both of you.
Thoughts of your partner leaving or divorcing you keep you up at night.
You want to fix your relationship, but you do not know how.
Friends and family advise you to leave. But it’s best to remember that there is no perfect relationship, and working on your relationship might be the best option.
Your relationship is struggling to thrive.
You and your partner have been searching for a deeper connection.
Your bond is not the same, and you feel like you no longer have things in common
Fear and worry of growing apart consume you. You ache for things to be the way they were before.
It is possible to save your relationship!
The best option is not to continue to ignore your situation. Divorce, starting all over, being a single parent, and co-parenting can sometimes be VERY HARD. However, sometimes, they are avoidable if couples learn how to communicate, support, and appreciate each other.
Couples Therapy provides a nonjudgmental space for you and your partner to navigate family dynamics, improve communication and conflict resolution skills, work through trust issues, overcome disappointments and betrayal, enhance intimacy, and explore individual and family goals.
Working together, you will learn how to create a shared meaning about situations, manage conflict, express appreciation and admiration, turn toward your partner instead of away, and develop trust and commitment.
So, you want to give up. You have done everything to save your relationship, and you’re still drowning. Try Couples Therapy with a trained professional.
