So you’re in relationship hell and want to call it quits now. Stop. Breathe. And read this before you do anything.

‘Should I Stay, Or Should I Leave?'

We’ve all been there...when you want to shake bae, out of frustration, anger, or pure disbelief, and then walk out. Fact: every relationship has its lows and highs. Some of the lows are ‘normal’ but then there are others that you shouldn’t be putting up with and are too good for. But when do you know that it’s time to walk away? It’s a tough call to make, and yeah, logic has sometimes very little to do, and emotion, everything. Take a step back and a moment to read what we’ve got to say.

STAY

EVEN IF THINGS AREN’T GREAT WITH YOU GUYS RIGHT NOW, IF YOU’VE GOT SOME OF THIS GOOD STUFF GOING ON, YOU KNOW THAT THIS RELATIONSHIP DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE.

1 He Wants the Best for You: If you make more money than bae, or are working long hours to nail that project, and he’s super proud of you, you’ve got a keeper. “Your partner should be your biggest fan. Being your cheerleader and a source of encouragement are some ways they can show support,” says Dr Catalina Lawsin, a US-based clinical psychologist in couples counselling.
