The Roller Coaster Relationship

The roller coaster relationship is when you feel like things are going great, you are happy and then out of the blue the relationship takes a turn and it’s for the worst. All of a sudden you doubt if you love your partner and if your partner is in love with you. Then once again things are looking up and things are going forward and you feel things are going to work out. Once again you feel like you are back in love. Just when you are back on track feeling that you are moving forward something always happens to take you backwards and have you doubting once again.

What you are feeling is confused and when this occurs you can make irrational decisions, which can lead to mistakes. You may feel like it is time to let this relationship go because your emotions are so up and down. It could be your mate is the one that is driving you crazy by their indecisive behavior. I once had a relationship where I had been with a guy for a while but as time went by. I hated him and loved him at the same time. Today we are friends but when I look back, he did literally drive me crazy.

First off when time is invested it is a bit harder to walk away. You think of the good times, then the bad times and you just get more confused until something happens that will be the final straw. Believe it or not something will happen that will make that final decision and make it either easy to walk away, or make that decision to stay and give it your all. But you will make one and I have to say most times it is to call it quits.

So if you are in this type of relationship where you feel so tired of being on this roller coaster of the ups and downs to the point you’re just exhausted and know you need to be out for your own peace of mind then do so. If you have given it your all don’t feel guilty, you get one life always remember this. But before doing so make sure. Take a piece of paper and make a do’s and don’ts list.  On one side write why you should stay and the other why you should leave. This is one test that never fails. If the side is saying it’s a curtain call and this act is over, bow out gracefully and know you deserve to be happy and you are not. Barbara Jeanne xo
