I have encountered many people who struggle within their marriages yet find themselves unable to leave. Besides the fact that the average divorce costs $12k to $15k and up, there are a lot of reasons why people stay in unhappy marriages.

Why We Stick It Out in Failing Marriages

No man will ever come right out and tell you he likes it when you compliment him because it’s a weird thing to ask for, and also not very “manly,” if you will. But just because he doesn’t ask, doesn’t mean he doesn’t crave.

4 Female Zodiac Signs That Are Hardest To Love: "They Are Really Hard To Live With"

Relationships are a two-way street in all aspects. While partners do cover for each other every now and then, there still needs to be a certain level of balance. Over the past few decades, the institution of marriage in the United States has seen a significant decline of about 60% since the 1970s, reports CNBC. While there are various factors contributing to this trend, content creator Katie Hanlon—who goes by @thekatiehanlon on TikTok—has mentioned some less-discussed yet crucial factors that can often lead to relationship breakdowns.

5 Zodiac Signs That Don't Know How to Love

When you're entangled in a relationship with a narcissist, the dynamics often shift from initial charm and admiration to insidious devaluation. This phase can leave you questioning your worth and sanity.

Deceptive Things Narcissists Say to Manipulate You During Devaluation

Treat dating as a potential liability, not an automatic benefit. Many women are conditioned to approach dating and relationships as if there’s a heightened sense of urgency to “find the one.” As a result, they tend to choose partners out of a need for validation or to derive a sense of self-worth from their relationship status, rather than authentic desire. It’s important to deprogram the harmful myths you’ve internalized about romantic relationships to the point where you would rather be on your own than with a toxic partner so you do not settle for less just to settle down. If you’re not quite at that stage yet, it can be helpful to thoroughly read the stories of women who’ve struggled in even the happiest of marriages and the research on the risks and burdens of marriage, childbirth, and childrearing, and how these risks are heightened when you are with the wrong partner. Usually, women are trained since adolescence to seek out the benefits of relationships without knowing the costs, but being with the wrong partner can deplete your mental health, deplete your finances, make you lose your identity, and cause you to take detours in pursuing your dreams. Ensure you know these risks and costs so you can assess whether a potential partner is actually adding value to your life, rather than detracting from it and potentially going to change your life-course trajectory in irreversible ways.
