Although therapy can help many relationships, it is very often the case that getting your partner to see a professional therapist can be hard. In fact as soon as you suggest it to your partner, they become defensive.
When you’re in a long term relationship, you’re also in a long term relationship with their past, their behaviours and their problems that can create relationship problems.
Question:
I broke up with my boyfriend a few months ago, it was a painful breakup as he was cheating on me. I’m still trying to get over him, but I’m angry & hurt. I saw him out last week with this new girlfriend, they looked so happy.
When you first begin a relationship of course it’s all wonderful & exciting as you get to know each other and start to fall in love. You want to get to know them more & can’t wait to see them.
