The Different Types of Struggles in a Relationship
There are different types of struggles in any relationship, and knowing when to push through and when to let it go can be tricky. Here are four common struggles and how to deal with them:
1. Conflictual Communication:
When one partner consistently communicates in a way that makes the other feel attacked or unheard, this is a sign that the relationship may be struggling. One way to try and resolve the conflict is for one partner to communicate more cautiously, acknowledging when they might have said something that made the other feel upset instead of attacking their motives or character. If communication doesn’t seem to be resolving the conflict, it may be time to seek outside help.
2. Lack of Commitment:
When one partner consistently withdraws their love and support, this can be a sign that things are not going well. One way to try and resolve this issue is for both partners to set clear boundaries- agreeing on what level of commitment they’re comfortable with and communicating those expectations clearly from the start. If this doesn’t work, it may be time to consider breaking up.
3. Disagreements About Levels of Responsibility:
When one partner feels like they’re always having to compromise their values to make the other happy, this can be a sign that the relationship is struggling. One way to try and resolve this issue is for both partners to set realistic expectations about how much they’re willing to compromise and then communicate those expectations openly and honestly. If that doesn’t work, it may be time to consider breaking up.
4. Communication Issues:
When one partner consistently withholds or blocks important information from the other, this can be a sign that the relationship is struggling. One way to try and resolve this issue is for both partners to communicate as openly and honestly as possible- being willing to share all of their thoughts and feelings, even if they don’t feel comfortable with how the other is reacting. If that doesn’t seem to be resolving the conflict, it may be time to seek outside help.
No relationship is immune to these struggles, and it’s important to be honest with each other about how things are going so that both parties can make the best possible decisions for their relationship.

1. Recognize when the struggles are getting out of control. If your partner starts to lash out or become destructive, that’s a sign that things are spiraling out of control. If you can’t resolve conflicts or your partner consistently withdraws from conversations, it might be time to end things.
2. Don’t stay in a struggling relationship because you’re afraid of being alone. Sometimes people stay in a struggling relationship because they’re afraid of being alone. But if you’re not happy, it’s better to end things than to live in a situation where you’re constantly unhappy and resentful.
3. Talk about your concerns with your partner. When you start to notice signs that a relationship is struggling, talk to your partner about them. This lets them know that you care about them and want to help them fix the problem. If your partner doesn’t want to fix the problem, it might be time to end the relationship anyway.
Ending a relationship is never easy, but it can be the best decision for both parties if it’s going to be healthy for them.
What to Do If You Can’t Save a Struggling Relationship

If that fails, it might be time to let go. Here are a few tips on how to save a relationship that’s struggling, and when it’s best to let go.
If you’re not sure if your relationship is in trouble, ask yourself these five questions:
1. Do you feel like you’re fighting a losing battle? Are disagreements becoming more frequent and bitter?
2. Do you feel like you don’t have any control over your life or your partner’s actions?
3. Has your partner said or done anything that makes you question their commitment?
4. Do you feel like your partner doesn’t want the same things as you do?
5. Has your partner started spending more time with friends or family members instead of you? If so, does this bother you? If so, why?
If you answered yes to three or more of the questions, it might be time to take a step back and assess the situation. If you’re not sure if your relationship is in trouble, ask your partner. If they don’t want to address the issue, it might be best to distance themselves until it’s resolved.
