‘Should I Stay, Or Should I Leave?'
Cosmopolitan India
|March 2020
So you’re in relationship hell and want to call it quits now. Stop. Breathe. And read this before you do anything.

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.

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.
