Is A Rocky Relationship Worth Fighting For?

Watch Hollywood movies and you might think people fall in love and live happily ever after. The reality is that relationships are hard work and require lots of effort. Still, a rocky one can be unhealthy to the point where you think contemplate finishing it and moving on. Is it the right move? The answer is an emphatic no. You might not feel loved or cherished, and that’s a horrible feeling, but a worse one is knowing you’ve let something slip through your hands without a fight.

Here are four more reasons you shouldn’t give up when the going gets tough.

Boredom Isn’t The End

Okay, you’re bored and things are stale and it’s frustrating. Nobody wants to live their life by going through the motions, and you’re right to bring up the topic of conversation, but ending it is a nuclear option. Boredom is a state of mind, one you can easily change with a little bit of elbow grease. Addressing the situation head-on should make you both more proactive, and that’s when the excitement happens. Going the extra mile (both parties) will smooth things out and show you want an incredible relationship you have. You’d be silly to throw it away because you were bored.

People Can Change

Lots of women invest in the theory that a leopard can’t change its spots. Sorry fellas, but once you’re in the bad books, you might not make it back out again. Of course, it’s not logical because people (yes, even men!) grow and build regularly. Is he the same man you met years ago? Some elements will be the same, yet he’ll also have changed in a lot of ways, and not for the worse. So, there’s no reason to assume he won’t try and turn into a better partner for your sake. The key is to communicate and tell him how you feel; he isn’t a mind reader.

There’s Counseling

Sorting through your differences is tough and it’s a long and winding road. The good news is you don’t have to do it alone and make up the rules as you go along. Counseling services use expert tips and tricks to get couples to listen and to understand where they have gone wrong. If you take weekly sessions, there’s a good chance that your rocky relationship will mature into something beautiful. And don’t see it as a sign of defeat, either - counseling is healthy.

Good Things Are Worth Fighting For

What you have is incredible; you’ve lost your way and need guidance. Counseling will help, and so will some perspective. Because your relationship takes work doesn’t mean it’s over. On the flip side, that’s the reason it’s worth trying to save in the first place. You love one another and have invested a lot into the relationship, so don’t throw it all away for the sake of laziness. Put in the hours and keep in mind that you’ll enjoy what you have more than ever afterward.

Are you a fighter? Then a rocky relationship is worth the battle.
