Relationship Problem

Whether a relationship is new or has been in existence for many years, things will be constantly changing. Even the strongest of relationships will encounter difficulties now and then, or what may be termed “rocky patches”

It is very important to deal with problems as soon as they occur, leaving them to fester can make things a lot worse.

Couples can find it hard to take responsibility for problems, with each party blaming the other. External factors such as money, employment, and interference from other parties can start to have a negative impact on the relationship. Personal prejudices and deep rooted psychological issues can also be destructive influences.

An unhappy relationship can be brought down further still if one party is unfortunate enough to lose their job or become ill.

If one person becomes involved in substance abuse their change in behavior will create further stress in the relationship. When couples stop talking to each other underlying sexual issues can bring the relationship to breaking point. If neither party is willing to deal with the problems it can lead to infidelity, or even physical abuse towards the other person.

Having to cope with money issues and looking after children can mean there is little time left for a stressed couple to sit down and talk to each other. Sometimes difficult areas are avoided for fear of causing greater tensions. It may seem easier to just carry on with day to day living and ignore the underlying issues.

If you have your suspicions that your relationship is no longer working you are probably right. But if the relationship is still important to you, and especially if there are children involved, you may want to find ways of remedying the situation.

Once you have acknowledged you have a problem you can start to take some action to rectify it. Having acknowledged you have a problem you can seek help and start to move forward.

Whatever problems you are facing it can be a great help to know that someone else has already been through a similar situation. Talking to other people who have gone through their own relationship crises can give you the strength to carry on until you reach a solution.
