@RainbowRosie
The biggest issue from me is can you ever rebuild trust once it is gone? 😔
@Amanda84
Hi there. I hear you ❤️ rebuilding trust in a relationship is a high mountain to climb.
Some can get there and it’s important to be patient, one step at a time ❤️ while for others it can simply be too much and despite all attempts, it just feels unreachable. It’s especially important that your wellbeing comes first.
@RainbowRosie
I have learned that relationship stresses won't go away on their own, even if they trick you into THINKING they have...they will resurface at the strangest and also the most predictable of times and they pick up Right. Where. They. Left. Off. Not every issue can be discussed immediately--I get that, some things need to marinate, you have to pick your battles and you don't want to do that blind, so, sure, but there comes a time where each issue MUST be addressed or it will just get heavier and more of a hotbutton issue until the slightest whiff of it sets off a powderkeg of emotions...it is just easier to deal with a single stick of dynamite if possible, so, when it comes to dealing with issues, I have found "the sooner, the better" and they won't just go away on their own.
@Jennifire
Hiya. You’ve made some really good points and I agree about picking your battles. It certainly makes sense to me.
Thanks so much for posting ❤️
biggest relationship issue at the moment for me is communication. i don't know why but we keep clashing heads recently. i feel misunderstood, and i'm sure he does too. so it makes me want to isolate and not talk to him much.
@neane4
Hi there, sorry to hear this.
It can feel so draining when we feel our partner doesn’t understand us and we’re not connecting. What's one thing you wish your partner could understand about you or your perspective that might help bridge the gap between you two?
Last month I found out my husband of 14 years was cheating on me. He met a woman at work and just fell in love. Wanted nothing else to do with me.
@resourcefulWriter3521
🥺
That's heartbreaking.
Cruel, that they could both do that to you.
@resourcefulWriter3521
Im so sorry to hear this. You must feel like your whole world has been turned upside down. Do you have family or friends supporting you?
I’m friends with a guy who knows I have feelings for him. To me, he seems like the perfect man. Except he’s not a Christian like I am. We’re in the same political circle (democratic). He tells me to look for a bf. He knows there’s someone out there that would appreciate the love I want to give in a relationship. We’re different for each other. I just wish he was a Christian so that way we could live happily ever after and be happily married. But I can’t force someone to being a Christian when he doesn’t want to be.
@honestBeechwood3116
He sounds like a nice guy but you’re uncertain because of your different faiths.
Do you mind me asking what is it about sharing the same faith that you think is crucial for a fulfilling relationship?
I was brought up as a Christian and there’s a scripture in the Bible that believers and non believers cannot be together since there will be a lot of conflict and confusion. I first broke up with him because of this and he was understanding. I got bored after our breakup and I got back together with him. I just was tired of being bored as a single woman. Now, I’m wondering if being single was the better option since I feel like getting back together, there has been this shift between us. I feel like we’ve changed somehow. I still love him and I have feelings for him. I don’t know if I’m selling myself short by being with him because I feel like there’s not much single Christian guys out there because a lot of Christian guys want to build families and I’m childfree.
I feel like it would be communication and also understanding each other when it comes to the kids
@neatMango3570
Hi there. I hear you. Communication difficulties can certainly leave us feeling frustrated.
Wishing you the best ❤️
