Not every relationship is content and strong. Establishing a space in a relationship that allows for growth, communication, and trust requires a great deal of work and understanding on both sides. However, there may still be moments when we are unsure of the relationship. Numerous factors could be at play for this. Nonetheless, we frequently decide to continue in relationships that we aren’t sure about.
Here are few reasons, we try to stay in a relationship, even if we are not sure:
1. Change and discomfort: Any kind of change has the potential to cause some minor discomfort. Therefore, rather than accepting a change that is fraught with uncertainty, we attempt to feel at ease in a relationship that we are unsure about.
2. The dearth mentality: We occasionally have pessimistic thoughts about who we are and our chances of connecting with someone else. We also think that no one will love or take care of us. As a result, we select the best available option.
3. Getting rid of guilt or shame: We may experience a great deal of guilt or shame when we leave our partner or cause them to experience heartbreak. Even when we are unhappy in a relationship, we try to stick with it to avoid experiencing those feelings.
4. Immuned against advanced emotions: Dealing with the difficult emotions that come with a breakup or heartbreak can be challenging. We frequently choose to stay in a relationship because we are not psychologically ready to move through that stage.
