How much is it worth trying to fix things?
Being in a relationship isn’t as “perfect” as it is in movies or ads. Real love involves going through different stages that require a lot of work and patience; so that both can understand each other and learn to accompany each other without suffocating each other.
If you are in a relationship, it is normal that at some point you wonder if this is a good thing and if it might not be time to separate. Miscommunication, routine, diminished sexual desire or different personal growths are some of the many difficulties to face when time makes things more complicated, even if you have really chosen to be together. How much is it worth trying to make things work?
According to a study carried out by eDarling, 90% of people think that they can still meet the man or the woman of their life; but 53% of women and 46% of men surveyed admit to having already had a relationship without love. Fear of being alone, comfort and routine are among the most chosen causes.
