A relationship is a challenge. It’s difficult, and it takes a lot of work. The good thing is that the benefits of being in a relationship are greater than the challenges.
The most common way that relationships fail is because one or both partners do not fully commit to the relationship. However, there are other reasons why a relationship fell apart.
Here are three things that will (definitely) break a relationship.
Jealousy
Jealousy is the single most destructive emotion that a relationship can be tested by. This is because jealousy is completely irrational.
In fact, it’s not even in your best interest to be jealous. You would be better off being indifferent about the other person.
If you’re jealous, you are letting yourself be controlled by your emotions. You’re allowing yourself to get sucked into this ridiculous emotional roller coaster that you can’t control and that will make you unhappy.
The best way to deal with jealousy is to confront it directly. The sooner you deal with it, the sooner it will go away.
Once jealousy has taken hold of your emotions, it becomes very difficult to let go of and even harder to let go of when it becomes a habit.
The problem with confronting jealousy directly is that many people try to avoid dealing with their own emotions in an honest way, which makes them even more angry and more likely to seek revenge on their partner for not “keeping them happy.”
This often leads to manipulation and abuse as a result of anger and frustration.
