It seems the list of reasons for a relationship blowing up is unending. Sometimes the list of things that irritate or infuriate us is so long it’s amazing that couples ever do stay together. But when you stop looking at every little individual thing, it’s possible to group reasons together, and you’ll find that when you do that, it is much easier to see what to avoid.
Most breakups are caused by the following triggers: Stop your break up by avoiding these mistakes.
1. Infidelity
This is a huge issue! Relationships require trust to endure, and an exclusive physical bond is usually an important part of cementing that trust. It’s very difficult to recover from a partner breaking our trust by having a physical relationship with someone else. If the relationship survives the initial incident there is always going to be doubt about the level of trust between you. Really, if you want to keep your relationship you should never have put yourself in this position to start with.
2. Boredom
Relationships sometimes just become boring. One or both of the partners will realize that they’re no longer having fun in the relationship. It is sad when a couple realizes they are now together from habit, no longer because of love. Restoring a flame is certainly possible, but when your relationship gets to this point you need to realize that it is going to take some real effort to pick it up and get going again.
3. Too Much Control/Not Enough Freedom
From either side of the fence this is dangerous. A controlling partner tries to change someone into their own idea of a perfect partner. They can’t trust the person to be themselves because they’re afraid of what they’d do with any kind of freedom. It is not easy to be in a relationship where there is no trust. Having a controlling partner is a true nightmare. You are just not able to do the things you love or to be yourself. You feel like you’re suffocating. It’s not the end of the road when a relationship goes down this path, but it is very difficult for a controlling partner to give up their control.
4. Conflicts
When you have a partner there are many things you could argue about. Money is one the top reasons for arguments. Sometimes it’s hard enough to run your own life without having to deal with someone else’s. Couples can argue over anything from the way he looked at another girl to the way she looks in a dress. It’s a very long list. If you find yourselves arguing a lot, take a look at the bigger picture. See if you’re arguing over annying little stuff, or whether you are frustrated over something deeper.
5. The Little Things
I’m talking about little irritations that over time become unendurable irritations. Anything from the way he chews his food to scratching his belly can be annoying and become more so with time. It’s usually pretty easy to work these out. Just relax and don’t let yourself get so annoyed. If you find that’s not possible, just let your partner know what’s annoying you. They might have no idea they’re annoying you, and can probably stop the behavior quite quickly.
