Relationship doubts don't always mean it's time to leave, and staying doesn't always mean you're committed for the right reasons. Dr. Laurie Betito helps you distinguish a rough patch from a pattern that is wearing the relationship down.

Another Apology. Another Chance. Then What?

You've heard the apology, felt hopeful and agreed to another chance. Now you're back in the same argument. What would show you that something is actually improving, even if conflict hasn't disappeared? And what might a previous partner's complaints reveal?

A Good Person Can Still Be the Wrong Partner

Starting over sounds frightening, but so does spending years waiting for change. A relationship reality check asks you to look beyond whether your partner is a good person. What do your feelings when you're together, and apart, tell you?

Topics: relationship doubts, recurring arguments, relationship repair, fear of leaving, couples therapy
