When the only words left in your relationship are good day, good run and no (or they even disappear), it's time to accept that your relationship no longer has a common path. Did you finally reach a tipping point where you realized that it can't go on like this? Do you no longer recognize yourself and do not know who you have become?
If communication in your marriage has disappeared, your body will sense this dissatisfaction and express it in different ways. Stress hormones can cause many health problems, and the risk of depression also increases. Don't know what to do or where to start to get out of the vicious circle? If you knew the relationship could be saved, would you save it, even if you don't know how?
Ask yourself:
1. How does your relationship affect your health?
An upset stomach, lack of appetite, migraines, anxiety and insomnia are not just coincidence. There is a link between a bad relationship and health. If communication has deteriorated in your marriage, your body will register this dissatisfaction. You will have an increased risk of depression, and stress hormones can cause a number of health problems.
2. Why are you unhappy?
This is not always an easy question to answer, as it requires you to face your feelings and identify, name and feel them. Sometimes this process has to be done with the help of a professional.
3. Does your partner know why you are unhappy?
In order to understand why you are unhappy, you need to work on yourself, when you accept your shortcomings, it will be easier to understand your partner and his reactions. You can't just expect him to read your mind.
4. Is your partner unhappy too?
If you've been in an unhappy relationship for years, there's a good chance your partner feels the same way. If you want to solve it, care about your partner's feelings as you would your own. If you are happy and satisfied, he will be as well.
5. Do you have children living with you?
Emotions affect both your spouse and your children. If you're wondering whether it's worth saving what you have, a long-term relationship, never forget the children. Children are a powerful factor that you must consider, no matter what (within the limits of normal relationships).
6. Have you tried to change?
Nothing in your life will change until you change yourself. This does not mean that you are the cause of dissatisfaction in the relationship. It simply means that your life and perception of happiness will not change until you change.
7. What do you really want?
If you've been in an unhappy relationship for years, you may have lost all sense of what you want. Maybe your dreams have lost their passion. Maybe you don't know what the words to be happy mean anymore.
