800-448-3000My Relationships Only Last A Week Or Two
Question
It seems all my friends and people around me are getting relationships that last months or years at a time and seem so happy while I’m struggling even getting the courage to talk to someone. Anytime I have been in a relationship they usually only last for a week or two before they break up with me and change to a new relationship while I’m sitting alone still sad cause I thought maybe this time was the one.
Counselor response
Thanks for reaching out. It is common to see others in relationships and to want that to be your journey too. The grieving that comes from singleness can be hard to navigate. Everyone has their own path and each looks different than the other. It is a normal feeling to want to be in a relationship but having seasons of alone time is healthy too. 9 Steps to Taking Care of Yourself speaks about how to invest in who you are in this special season of self-growth and self-discovery. You have a beautiful opportunity to invest in you and all the other aspects of life you want to flourish in.
During your time of self-discovery, ask yourself what values are important to you and what you would like to see in a relationship, this might help you to notice others who share the same values as you.
