Have you considered your patterns of behavior in relationships? Do you easily lose yourself when you are in a relationship with a partner? When you make new friends, do you try to hard to develop that relationship? Are you able to share how you feel with friends and partners? Can you advocate for what you want, or do you take on traits from that person?

The Runaway Bride was a perfect example of a problematic pattern in relationships. The main character is on her third attempt to marry, but never makes it down the isle. The Question becomes is she doing it on purpose, or is she struggling with this pattern without understanding the dynamics. It’s a good watch, but I think it happens more that people think.

It’s not hard to get stuck in an unhealthy cycle when it comes to relationships. Make sure you understand what patterns you fall into, and how to keep things more healthy. It will be part of being happy, for life.
