If you’re in the dating phase of a
relationship, then you may not even be thinking about whether you want to stay
with your partner, you may just be having some fun! However, if you’ve been
with your partner for a while and are at the stage where you’re wondering if
things will work out with them long-term and whether what you have is worth
fighting for through thick and thin, or even if you’re in a long-term
relationship but are struggling to find happiness, then you might want to thin
Relationships can be challenging
enough without one half of the partnership having regular feelings of paranoia.
However, if it’s become evident that you have a paranoid partner, you may want
to try and encourage them to seek professional help, especially when you
consider that paranoia can be a symptom of an underlying illness.
What are
typical traits of a paranoid partner?
While traits may vary from individual
to individual, some of the more common traits or behaviors can inclu
Most successful relationships are
based upon mutual trust, and when that trust is tested in some way, so is the
relationship. That isn’t to say that both parties can’t move on together if
there are trust issues, but neglecting to address the matter in an open and
honest way can make it very difficult for either party to move forward.
When was the
trust broken?
When trust becomes an issue early on
in a relationship, the one who has been betrayed will doubtless find it a lot

We sometimes fantasize about enjoying blissful relationships that flourish with every passing day, and in which we grow together for years, never questioning our loyalty or love for each other. But this is not reality for real-life couples. In fact, no relationships are perfect, it just may be that some individuals are better at hiding their problems than others.
If your relationship is in some sort of crisis, or you’re experiencing problems that are affecting your ability to continue loving
The early, joyful stages of a relationship may lull you into a false sense of security, and the thought of having to work hard to make your partnership function, might seem like something other couples might need to do, but not you.
However, as is the case with most couples whose relationship has progressed past those early stages, they will find themselves having to work to ensure that both of their needs, wants and desires are being met fairly.

How you can be more mindful and aware in every interaction you have in the future? It’s human instinct to crave connection with other people. After all, we’re social beings by nature. So, how do we fulfill our relationship needs in a world where technology drives our interactions with others?

How counseling helps you communicate better and what to do if the troubled relationship is with your spouse.
If you have difficulty relating to some of the people in your life, you’re not alone. A difference in opinion is sometimes all that it takes to make communicating feel impossible. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t find solutions when it comes to spending time with and even talking to the difficult people in your life. In fact, there are many ways to address trying relation
Being in a relationship can make us feel vulnerable. You are opening yourself up to someone emotionally and that can cause stress, especially if you have been hurt in previous relationships.While some anxiety is a relationship is normal, sometimes it can become overwhelming or even harmful to you or your relationship. If you feel that you are experiencing anxiety that could be damaging in some way, you may want to find practical ways of easing your anxiety and working through the stress th
We all have parts of ourselves we don’t necessarily like. It may be easy to love your great sense of humor, compassion or friendliness, but there are other things about yourself that you probably find harder to love. You most likely aren’t proud of your temper or tendency to procrastinate. However, if you want to love yourself fully, you need to learn to love your rough edges, too. Unconditional love doesn’t require you to be perfect, so you don’t have to completely change or lose all yo
Think back to your earliest memory. How old are you? Research has shown that most people’s earliest memories date back to when they were about 3½ years old, although many adults only remember things from when they were about 6. Since we retain so few of those early memories from between the ages of three and six, the experiences we do recall probably have a profound impact on who we are as adults.
