Resentment

What are the key factors in a relationship? Trust, Love, Understanding and accepting each other, keeping the Ego out of the picture and Open Communication to name a few. The list can go on actually.

Some relations sail smoothly while some have to sail rough seas. But it does not work on its own. Efforts need to be made to make a relationship work and both need to take up the responsibility equally. It is not fair for one person to make more adjustments, sacrifices or work harder!

Earlier generations made the relationship / marriage work despite lot of problems. Now there is lot of independence, higher self esteem and ego as well. This has made tolerance levels to go down and increase in divorce and separation.

Sometimes or maybe more often, it happens that resentment sets in. There can be certain habits couples don't like in each other. But they carry along trying to get used to it. Resentment if not communicated to each other clearly keeps piling on. There comes a day when the resentment reaches the limit and the person - a break point! Cracks develop in the relationship and its hard to repair easily. 

Resentment - once it sets in - keeps growing. Someone might not communicate about it because they don't want to give the impression that they want their partner to change. However, this can be extremely unhealthy for the relationship in the long run.

Don't Resent. Just Reset - Get Over and Move on!
