For anyone thinking about leaving a relationship, whether that be an intimate partner relationship, friendship, family or perhaps even professional, you owe it to yourself to look a little deeper before making a decision.
Here are some quick self-check-in questions:
If I leave, what am I going to?
What things do I hope to gain?
What in me will change?
Why will it be better?
What do I want for my life now?
Who am I outside of this relationship?
If I can be someone else outside of the relationship, why can’t I be that person in this relationship – what is holding me back from being fully in my identity?
Am I holding myself back or am I being held back?
If you would like to more objectively explore these questions and the related issues they may raise, discuss them with a close confident who tells you the truth or explore them in therapy.
