I have been in a relationship since 2 years. But since a few months, something is lacking, something is wrong… He has hurt me quite a few times now… But every time, I think I have had enough of it, and I go ahead to talk to him, I fail in doing so… I don’t have the guts to hurt him. I know he loves me, but something is missing.
This is my first relationship. I don’t know what to do. Will I wait? Or do I go talk to him?

–Tris Flynn

Did I just get roped into becoming a relationship counselor? I don’t think I’m suited for the job. Writing is my area of expertise…

Having said that, I swore I’d never turn someone away asking for help. Tris, PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I am not a professional. I would never claim to be one. I write romance rather heavily into my stories and have seen the best and the worst relationships have to offer. All I can offer you is what I know based on my own experiences. So please understand the limit of my advice.

Okay… First of all, don’t wait. I’m not kidding, do NOT wait. The worst thing you can do is wait. Waiting means that your thoughts and fears are stewing. It gives you too long to think about things and for you to imagine the worst possible outcomes! Go talk to him. Tell him how you feel, lay it on the line. Preface it by saying that you’re not trying to hurt him. See what he says, see how he reacts, and who knows? Maybe something good will come out of it.

If not… if it turns into a fight or nothing comes out of it, then it may be time to walk. You have every right to be happy and consider yourself in this as well. I’m not sure how old you are, but I can tell you that even if the relationship crumbles, there will be other ones. That I promise you.

Again and as I say to everyone;
If you want to talk about this in more detail, please email me! I’d be happy to talk more.

Thanks friends!
