If you ask married couples if they would choose a different partner if they had the chance to do it all over again, about 60% of them will say they would. They may say that their current partner no longer loves or cares for them in the same way, or they want someone who is more understanding, more involved in decision-making, or more outgoing.
However, it is essential to remember that the qualities that attracted you to your partner in the first place are likely still present, even if they have been neglected over time. It is essential to keep the spark alive in your relationship by maintaining the characteristics that originally brought you together. If your partner wants you to change in some way, they should communicate this openly and offer support in helping you make those changes.
It is also essential to remember that no relationship is perfect and that there will always be challenges to overcome. Instead of dwelling on who was “wrong” or what went wrong, it is important to focus on how you can restore and maintain your relationship. Look for ways to learn from your mistakes and let them shape and mold you into a better person.
Ultimately, if you can identify what makes your partner happy and work to maintain that, your relationship will likely thrive and last. Don’t walk away from the person who brings joy and fulfilment into your life.
