Why Do Relationships End?

Relationships can break up for a number of reasons, such as:

  • Trust issues: Most of us find it difficulty to fully trust in a relationship. As a result, we have a number of conscious and unconscious defense mechanisms to help ourselves feel emotionally safe. The problem is that often, these subtle ways of keeping ourselves protected tend to sabotage our relationships.
  • Incompatibility and Lack of Understanding: Often times, partners have very different ways of interpreting the world and often mis-understanding each other's needs or are unsure of how to approach their differences.
  • Communication Problems: Difficulties in communication can lead to resentment and conflict, which can often escalate. Sometimes, we are too quick to make assumptions about what our partner is communicating and this can lead to a lot of hurt feelings.
  • Lack of Intimacy: Intimacy can be sexual, physical, and emotional. Difficulties in any area of intimacy can lead to relationship break-ups.
  • Abuse: Verbal, emotional, physical, sexual, or financial abuse are also reasons why one partner might end a relationship.

Creating Change Getting your Girlfriend or Boyfriend Back

Sometimes, clients/patients ask me if it's possible to get your boyfriend back or fix your relationship with your girlfriend. The answer is, yes, in many cases once you understand what's gone wrong and how to change your half of the relationship, things can improve.

In some cases, it's healthier for you to be apart. But, in other situations, two good people who care about each other simply need guidance and coaching to learn how to create and maintain a healthy relationship.

    Healing Yourself

    Part of what leads us to co-create unsuccessful relationships is that we bring into them broken parts of ourselves that we either don't know are there or that we haven't learned how to heal. Our broken parts (we all have some by the way!) sabotage us in relationships. Therapy can help us understand our unhelpful relationship patterns and create new, healthier, habits and mindsets for intimacy and connection.
