If It Doesn’t Feel Right, It’s Probably Not

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at C Mich chapter.

Life is too short to spend time over-analyzing every minute of your relationship.  If you doubt your relationship more than you appreciate it, its time to do something about it.

Staying in something that doesn’t feel right is exhausting.  It causes unnecessary stress and starts to affect other parts of your life.  Here are a few reasons why you should get out if it just doesn’t feel right.

1. Just because he’s perfect on paper, doesn’t mean he’s perfect for you. 

He’s a gentleman.  He holds doors open.  He gets along with your family.  He’s super attractive… the list goes on.  It can be discouraging when women know they have a great guy, but feel that something is missing. Just because he is such a great guy, that doesn’t mean the chemistry is there.   Never settle for anything less than passion.  There is a great guy out there for you who has the qualities you look for, plus the chemistry that won’t keep you second-guessing.

2. Don’t miss out on the chance for Mr. Right to come along by staying with Mr. Wrong.

By clouding your thoughts with your confusing relationship, you are not putting yourself out there.  Mr. Right could be a stone’s throw away, but you wouldn’t know that because all you can think about is the doubt in your relationship.  The less stressed out and anxious you are, the more you will reflect the bubbly, beautiful person you are. 

3. These are our selfish years

Late teens/early 20s are a woman’s selfish years.  The years where she has every right to put herself first and figure out what path to take in life.  Why feel the need to be with someone when you’re still figuring yourself out?  Take the time to do what you want, spend time with who you want, when you want. 

 

Your perfect guy is out there — just give it time!  When it’s meant to happen, it will happen, and it will be worth the wait!
