Lots of people are waiting until their relationship gets bad enough to leave. It's sad, painful, but I suspect not uncommon for at least one partner to be doing this weighing up on a daily or weekly basis. More constructive is to be considering, have things gotten bad enough for us to get some couple's therapy? This is still a painful question to ask oneself, and each partner may have different degrees of willingness to try relationship counselling. Sadly, the number one issue for couples coming to couple's therapy is simply that their issues were workable, but they've left it too late. It's often the therapist's sad job to preside over the end of a relationship, rather than to help heal the relationship. We don't completely neglect our house or car until it explodes or falls down. We understand that these things require maintenance. How about our most important relationships?
