Stress due to problems in relationship

Relationships could be a major source of stress too. When all is fine in a relationship, if the sailing is smooth, there are no conflicts or disharmony in the relationship and if there is great understanding between the couple, the relationship becomes a source of strength, an inspiration, a motivator to do better and fills you up with positive energy and enthusiasm.

Contrary to this, if there are conflicts or discord in the relationship, grudge against each other, feeling of underlying discontent or feeling that something is not right, it might lead to worry, anxiety, distress and mental exhaustion. This applies to both, couples in a relationship or marital relationships too. Having a healthy relationship is therefore necessary to avoid emotional trauma and stress in life.

Relationships based on love, attachment, physical intimacy get over-laden by emotions and even the minutest of things can cause mental upset. For example, if the partner who has been regularly calling and meeting the other gets distanced due to any reason (of work, family pressure etc) the other one may feel threatened and insecure by this and may start changing his/her behaviour too.

Either there will be no communication at all due to hurt and pain or too much communication due to insecurity and fear that the partner is losing interest. The partner may get demanding, may complain frequently, may blame the other for creating distance, and this could lead to misunderstandings and arguments. This itself takes a mental toll as couples need to negotiate peacefully, with open mind, try to see things rationally and not with emotional lens. This process becomes mentally taxing and leads to stress.

If there are fights and conflicts in a relationship it puts both the partners into doubt, suspicion and unrest as to why the relationship is going through such a stage. The mind gets distracted and couples brood over issues that are tormenting them.

Facing difficulty in resolving the issue, not being able to see the problem, fear of losing the partner, not being able to see one’s mistake or convince the other can lead to heartbreak, pain, constant brooding, anger, upset, depression, agitated state of mind which all piles up and produces stress.
