Sarah Ruggera, LMFT Helping People Who Ask The Question..."Should I Stay or Should I Go?" Are you in a relationship and thinking about whether to stay in it or move on?

Do you sometimes feel stuck and frustrated? Do you lie awake at night worrying that leaving will hurt someone you care about or that you'll end up alone? Making the decision whether to stay with your partner can be agonizing especially when you no longer want to tolerate the status quo. Maybe you are arguing all the time or not getting the sexual intimacy you need - just feeling like roommates. Perhaps you're unhappy and unfulfilled in your relationship or facing neglect, infidelity, verbal abuse or other disrespectful treatment. It's possible to work through these issues in couples therapy and make difficult decisions in a way that brings peace to your heart. If you want to be happier and more satisfied, it can be helpful to get some input from an unbiased third party - a counselor who doesn't have an agenda for you other than your own happiness.
