The Challenge When Your Partner “Changes” For The Worse

First, understand that the curve balls life sometimes throws at us, unexpected and disruptive as they usually are, can cause anyone to regress to undesirable habits or tendencies. And that change that you see is probably behavior that they used to be able to keep under control.

Second, as long as we are not talking about abuse, give them a chance. Hopefully, if they improve themselves or the circumstances improve they will be back to the old selves you have come to love.

Third, in as much as they appreciate the effect, their recent behavior is having on you, your loved ones, or on the relationship, they should also show remorse and a willingness to make an effort to improve themselves. Your genuine understanding and patience will give them that edge to turn the tables.
