Last week a lady I'm supporting in the in the US said: "Nicola, I want out of this marriage but I feel too guilty to leave."Many men have shared the same with me. Staying in a relationship because of guilt alone can be a miserable way to live. If this is really all that is keeping a couple and family together. However, I often find that it is used as an excuse to mask someone's own dependency. As many individuals don't want to admit to themselves that they really DO want to STAY in the relationship if only some key things would change. So instead of taking a good look at themselves and their power to change things, they procrastinate. Having worked with hundreds of couples now, I find that guilt associated with leaving, is guilt we carry because we don't think we have tried hard enough to make the relationship work. Could this be true for you? Have you invested time and energy into saving it or just merely shared your grievances? Would you regret leaving if you left the relationship now?
