Why People Decide to Stay in Unhappy Marriages
Are you stuck in an unhappy marriage? While it can feel like you have nowhere to turn, many people choose to stay in their marriages despite enduring subpar relationships. But why? Well, here are a few of the zany reasons why people opt to stay in an unhappy union:
- To save themselves from becoming a rampaging aunt/uncle at family gatherings – Nobody needs someone screaming Cat in the Hat limericks every time their family gets together!
- Wanting to beat the other person at an argument – Competitive bone? Consider your needs met in an unsatisfactory marriage!
- To laugh during lonely nights by drawing a cartoon lookalike of their partner on the objects they can’t avoid, like the wall or the toilet seat!
- Self-preservation: They realize the wounds in a not-so-great marriage typically never get too deep. But beware, bruises are as painful as broken bones – you know what they say…” Laugh or Lament!!”
- People opt out of escalating conflict for mixable memories that can be whisked away anytime chaos and rage break.
There you have it. If you’re trying to find a reason for your unhappy marriage riddle– don’t fear; these other poor endeavours can substitute yours!
Signs that Point to an Unhealthy Relationship
Are you in a relationship that’s not your healthiest option? Well, here are a few signs to look out for that may suggest it’s time for you to move on:
Do they keep track of your every move? Do you react with anxiety whenever their name shows up on your phone? Is your stalker instinct on full alert?
Was the honeymoon period more of the full moon instead of half? Do you spend most of your vigorous days wondering when the motivation you invested you won’t wear off and instead be replaced with apathetic mediocrity?
Are your once-upon-a-time morning snuggles now a blast out of bed before sunrise? Do you come home to dinner conversations often sounding like an interrogation, or worse, a silent stare down?
Do questions commonly arise, such as, “Can’t I ever do something right?” Is suffering in silence from vindictive words or inactivity sacks becoming an all too familiar lyrical refrain?
Is there less and less of a bounding connection between you two these days? Has it been some time since ‘Love you’ graced beyond lip service?
No relationship should possess these qualities, so if you spot them around, it’s time to lay down the final toss.
Seeking Professional Help When Necessary
Nobody said building a relationship was easy. But hey, if your marriage is in trouble, there’s no shame in admitting you might need a little outside help — like a divorce lawyer or a therapist!
Think about it: a divorce lawyer for the Splitsville duo and a therapist for the emotional duets. Dance classes might lead you in the wrong direction!
If your marriage is stalling more than a tractor in January, don’t be embarrassed to find the Professional Help you need.
A breakfast date far from home won’t solve the unresolved conflict —no matter how fancy (or, knowing you, cheesy!) the restaurant.
It’s okay to feel conflicted, but if you’re both bogged down by those ‘now topics,’ pull up a chair and ask your marriage counsellor for a hand. Or, if your marriage is more Rob Zombie than Rob Reiner, it’s a no-brainer to locate your choice of divorce attorneys!
Remember, when necessary, your professional help will take that extra step towards ensuring your marriage stays frisky and getting you both ready to make a new Rocky movie! Yippee ki yay!
