3 Common Break-up Drivers (Are You Guilty?)

Are you driving your partner away, and worse—creating the perfect environment for a break-up or divorce?

It’s difficult to accept some responsibility in a relationship that is broken. But sometimes you need to ask yourself the hard questions so you can salvage what’s left of your relationship.

There are other things that can happen in a relationship that are quite common break-up drivers, meaning, they create fertile ground for an eventual break-up. Let’s take a look at three very common ones.

First Comes Love, Then Comes the Hard Part…

You find your relationship is on the skids, and you wonder… where did it all go wrong?

And, you want to know if it was something you perhaps did?

If your partner cheated, that was their choice and you are not responsible. Cheating is a different set of circumstances—regardless of the level of problems your relationship may have had prior to the affair.

What we’re talking about here is behavior that any of us can get caught up in that must be changed if we want to prevent a break-up.

Communicating Effectively In Your Relationship

Many disagreements in a marriage are due to a misunderstanding. Ineffective communication creates confusion and can often lead to a defensive reaction from your partner. Learning how to share your thoughts and feelings in a way that is clear and effective can reduce a lot of conflict. Practicing positive ways to communicate helps people share their thoughts and feelings without attacking their partner. Communicating effectively proves to be a very useful skill in any relationship.

Communication skills are not usually officially taught. Instead, most people learn by observing others and figuring out what works by trial and error. For people who grew up in a home with a lot of dysfunctional communication or for people with a history of unhealthy relationships

3 Tips to keep your spouse focused at home, on the marriage

There is never a good reason or excuse for having an affair and destroying your marriage vows. Period.
A cheater is fully responsible for their actions, and the justifications they come up with to make themselves feel better. Regardless of whether or not your spouse contemplates and goes through with an affair, your marriage may still have very legitimate problems that need to be addressed.
In this post, I’ll help you examine your relationship and identify ways to remove the allure of looking outside of the marriage in order to avoid the work of solving the problems within. These tips are applicable whether you are working to save your marriage before an affair happens—or you are in a position of trying to save your marriage post-affair.
Cheaters Have No Good Reason to Cheat
There may not be a good excuse for cheating, but that doesn’t mean cheaters haven’t tried to come up with one. The same old tired themes keep appearing:
“I didn’t feel loved anymore…”
“We never did anything fun together as a couple…”
“I never see him—he/she is always working…”
“He/she didn’t understand me or my needs…”
When cheating spouses say these things, it’s probably all the victim can do not to pull their own hair out. Your spouse was willing to throw away everything you had—over something that could have been worked on in the marriage
