Why We Stay In Relationships Way Too Long

The fact that you’ve spent a lot of time together doesn’t mean that you have to spend your future together.

When broken down into it’s most raw, unfiltered essence: we’re afraid. Fearful of being alone. Because we think “alone” will leave us vulnerable and potentially deemed unlovable. This is not true, of course. But when comfort, as we know it, is threatened, our survival nature can quickly overtake intelligence and irrational behavior reins supreme. And in this case we stall a long overdue separation.

Breaking up can be a crushing experience.
But staying together for the wrong reasons will nonetheless dismantle you.
Just more slowly.

If you’re in a relationship that’s run its course, take a deep breath and give both of you the freedom you deserve.
