This is tough to admit. It seems like everything is fine, but the warning signs show up, and our defense mechanism is to ignore it. It gets worse (not better) until someone has to pull out. The relationship ends only for women to grab the next man similar to the previous one. Yet, women swear the significant other has a different personality. The relationship ends badly again only for women to find another man similar to the previous two and swear this man is different. Unfortunately, all significant others share one trait. That trait is the source of the bad relationship. Pull out of bad relationships by understanding how to stop attracting the wrong man.

Damaged or drained spirits will benefit from leaving the dating world. Focus on activities and hobbies you enjoy. Use the time away to analyze each failed relationship and have a plan of action to approach the next one. Build confidence to be whole within you without a man present. A man adds to fulfillment, not complete some puzzle. Change the attitude in relationships. Bossy, jealous, over-critical, insecure, or untrustworthy personalities never catch a good man because their attitude is hindering. Stop belittling, changing, punishing, or judge the man. Enjoy him for him. Practice self-forgiveness. Whatever happened in previous relationships should never affect new relationships. Regardless of who's to blame, forgive yourself for any wrongdoing. Allow yourself to accept responsibility for the relationship failing and vow to have an open mind in the new relationship. Proceed with caution when relationships are moving in a familiar pace. Think about where it led. If it isn't positive, slow or speed the pace. Communicate with the man to ensure the endgame won't repeat itself. Give the relationship a fighting chance to change course. If nothing is working, you must part ways. This is also true for familiar locations, attitude, and warning

While there is no such thing as a happily ever after, there is a cycle of stages that turned my relationship into a stronger connection. Our path taught us how to improve through the relationship stages reaching new levels of involvement and intimacy through difficult times. Others might see the dips of the roller coaster as reason to terminate rather than repair what they once had. True growth requires us to use the low points as a way to better appreciate the high points of our new reality. Continuing our relationship still today, we learn to cooperate through listening and receiving before responding in a harsh tone. Knapp’s cycle continues on a course headed towards repair or termination and John and I now work through our issues in a calm and rational way because learned through each difficult time.
I needed to do better or else everyone would run away from me. I started participating in the practices of love. I started off by complimenting others on how they looked. Whenever I saw a friend of mine I would walk up to them with a smile and say ‘I adore your hair’, ‘I love your shoes!’ or ‘You look extremely beautiful today.’ Next, I began opening up to others about how why I was previously acting so bitter towards them. I told my best friend at the time about the relationship I was in. I was lucky to have such an understanding friend who still wanted to keep me in their life even after the way I acted. She respected that I was able to sit with her and talk after months of being distant from one another and I respected and appreciated that she took the time out of her day to see me. Displaying the practices of love did not only help fix broken relationships but practicing the practices of love also helped me find the type of love I should be accepted into my life. Today, when I meet new individuals I try to make sure that I and the opposite party are both displaying practices of love towards one another. I am more careful with how I treat others because I have an understanding of what the practices of love are. I look for the signs to avoid toxic relationships, whether it is friendship, romantic, or even
Whatever the problem is within the relationship, if a desire to work things out is mutually apparent, there is hope. Ideally, these concepts should be understood, practiced and maintained throughout the relationship, but many of us may find ourselves slipping into a place that we had never expected, nor desired to be. There are relationships that last a lifetime with the power and spark just as strong as it was, if not stronger than in the beginning. We must learn how to understand and respect each other in deep and meaningful ways that encompass all aspects of our humanity, that is, should be desire happiness, satisfaction and content. We want companionship and we want happiness; how do we satisfy these two desires simultaneously? They were installed in our make up to work together, for one to be the means to the other. But, we are still left in an imperfect world, where nothing remains as perfect as we may be led to believe that it can be.
Why do relationships commonly end in disaster or slowly wither away to nothing? That question could be answered in many ways. Whether the answer lies within the women’s actions, the men’s actions or both, it is something that has been an ongoing occurrence for many years. A valid explanation is that society has different expectations for acceptable male and female behaviors, which ultimately ends is a double standard that ruins relationships. However, another idea that has been more commonly researched in today’s society is that women and men think completely different and just do not understand each other. Steve Harvey’s book, “Act like a Lady, Think like a Man” is a prime example of the assumption that women do not understand how men think or how they feel when it comes to relationships. This book specifically, gives a direct representation of how most men function in relationships and it provides guidelines and advice for women from a man’s perspective about how to have a successful relationship. Furthermore, Steve Harvey’s book also explains many stereotypes that are common in today’s society about relationships and sex.

The dynamics surrounding the decision to leave or stay, and possible consequences are very complex. There are various reasons victims may either opt to stay in an abusive relationship. Feelings of fear, shame, hopelessness, and the inability to provide for themselves are common factors. However, one of the primary reasons is some people do not realize they are victims. Quite often abusers can be very charismatic using apologies, affection, and promises to end the negative behavior to control their victims. Unfortunately, this tactic can create an emotional sense of conflict as the victim begins to reflect on the good times, while battling with the reality of the present. This type of behavior often predicates or serves as the prelude to the cycle of abuse theory, a component of the Battered Woman Syndrome; thus being the primary reason victims find it difficult to leave. In an article entitled “When Love Hurts” by Jill Cory and Karen McAndless –Davis, various facets and resulting impact of domestic violence are explored and correlated to BWS. In making the correlation between the cycle of abuse of and BWS, the cycle of abuse is the eighth component of the Battered Woman Syndrome (Fulero & Wrightsman, 2009) defined as a distinct pattern having three
The first step to ending a relationship is realizing it is going nowhere. Realization is the most important step. After making this conclusion, your brain knows what to do, even if your heart may feel different.

Falling in love with someone is supposed to be one of life’s greatest gifts. People fall in love, get married and have children. Sometimes life is not that simple for some people. Sometimes during this great time in their life, their partner becomes physically, mentally, and sexually abusive. So one would ask, why not leave and get out of the relationship? It is not that simple for the victim. Fear of their partner’s actions, concerns about their children, and their deep attachment to their partner are factors that cause people to stay in abusive relationships.
Do you believe in happy endings? Once in a person’s lifetime, everyone finds this one perfect person whom they fall hopelessly in love with and live happily ever after. That is a mere fallacy, in the real world, this simply does not happen. Yes, people do have common interests and therefore develop romantic involvement, but it is basic common sense that these relationships have a life span and simply cannot last. There are certain people who aren’t meant to fit into your life in the long-term no matter how much you want them to. Sometimes people come into your life to shake you up, tear apart your ego, flip your perspective, show your obstacles, break your heart and mind open. The cause of a breakup can be due to various reasons such as cheating, falling out of love, quarrelling or the lack of communication.
Why is it so hard for women to be in a successful relationship? I recently had a conversation with one of my female friends and she told me that she just could not find it possible to be in a good relationship. I didn’t think it was that such a big deal, but then I remembered that we as women are manipulated into think that men are suppose to be dominant in starting a relationship. In return to her problem I thought that I would give some advice that will help all women work their way into successful relationships, with just three easy steps.
