So buckle up, and let\u2019s dive in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Pain and Suffering in Relationships<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people are searching for perfect relationships \u2014 unfortunately, there is no such thing because relationships are a continuous journey to perfection. There will be trials and obstacles that may cause pain and suffering. Is there a way around these trials to avoid pain?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere is always going to be suffering as part of life. Yes \u2014 you're going to deal with loss. You're going to deal with tortured hopes. You're going to deal with the disappointments, with heartbreaks, with death. \u2026 Nobody is going to tell you that there will never be [a] loss \u2014 and loss is probably one of the most important sources of suffering.\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; <\/span><b>Esther Perel<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suffering is not a choice \u2014 it is a part of life. The moment you enter into a relationship, you should be ready to suffer and bear the pains of the journey in that relationship. Is there a choice to suffer less?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think that you don't suffer less \u2014 you suffer differently. And the most important thing is, \u2026 you're not alone. \u2026 That's why we read books that inspire us from other people who have also lost and found their way back and [seen] the light again. \u2026 They created new hope, \u2026 reconnect[ed] with someone and allow[ed] themselves to love again, &#8230; have another child, \u2026 [or] start another business. &#8230; You have a sense &#8230; that there is hope, that you're not alone, that there is a day when it won't hurt and ache as much, that there is a day you will be able to wake up, and you won't be \u2026 obsessing over it.\u201d &#8211; <\/span><b>Esther Perel<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, a breakup may look like the end of the world. However, you\u2019re not alone in this pain because others have experienced the same heartaches. And yet, they were able to move on with their lives \u2014 they are now happy with their present relationships. So, if you feel like you are at the end of your rope in your relationship and you\u2019re in pain, take inspiration from other people. Remember, time will heal the heartaches \u2014 you will wake up someday, no longer in pain in that relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A breakup is just one of many painful experiences in relationships. There are many forms of suffering \u2014 emotional, mental, social, and physical. A battered wife is physically and emotionally suffering\u2014stress and anxiety at work cause mental sufferings in employer-employee relationships. Racial discrimination creates social suffering in relationships with the community, and jealousy is emotional suffering in a relationship with an intimate partner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no wonder many people find it hard to figure out how to manage suffering in relationships. Many are always struggling, whether in intimate or work-related relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhy is the simple feeling of loving or caring not enough? \u2014 Because the entire human drama is really complex the same way as nature is complex. So, is human nature complex? \u2026 I spent my whole career studying what is changing in relationships. [Do] you know why are they more complicated today? Are they more painful today? \u2026\u00a0 We live \u2026 in traditional societies where relationships are clearly codified. There are clear rules \u2014 there are roles, there are obligations. There's a tight structure from which you can't get out. But it tells you clearly who you are, where you belong, where you're rooted, and what's expected of you. All of this was super regulated.\u201d &#8211; <\/span><b>Esther Perel<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every relationship comes with responsibilities to the other parties. There are obligations and expectations. You don\u2019t necessarily have to talk about the obligations, but sometimes some things are already expected by the other party without discussing it. When these expectations are not met, these become the source of disappointment, resentment, and misunderstanding \u2014 and eventually, suffering and pain.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Tibetan Buddhist monk, the Dalai Lama, said, \u201cRemember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.\u201d And Dolly Parton said, \u201cIf you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.\u201d It\u2019s a fact \u2014 relationships are beautiful but sometimes painful.
