Supporting a Partner or Cutting Ties?

Got a partner who seems to hit the roof at the smallest things, is head over heels for cryptocurrency, yet shuns the idea of stability like it’s the plague? If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. It’s a head-scratcher trying to figure out how to deal with someone who seems more interested in digital coins than real-life stability.


Assessing the Situation

Some folks believe that if your partner’s behavior is spiraling into addiction territory, especially with something as volatile as cryptocurrency, you might end up getting weighed down by their financial instability. Imagine wanting a peaceful life while your partner is caught in the crypto roller coaster. Is it worth it?

When to Walk Away

Navigating a relationship with someone who won't take responsibility for their actions can be like paddling upstream without a paddle. Some suggest that sometimes the healthiest thing you can do for yourself—and even for them—is to step away. If they don’t realize their own shortcomings, you’ll end up playing the role of a rescuer instead of an equal partner.

The Futility of Trying to Change Them

It’s tempting to think you can change someone or help them see the error of their ways. But battling against someone’s defenses and refusal to change can lead to frustration. It’s worth considering if you’re ready to take on that kind of emotional labor.

Long-term Prospects

Ask yourself if you’re okay facing the future as it stands. If the answer is a resounding "no," then moving on might just be the ticket. Think about your dreams, plans, and whether they align with a partner who’s yet to find their grounding.

The key takeaway here is to prioritize your happiness and mental well-being. Don’t get stuck in a relationship where you’re giving more than you’re getting. It's okay to want stability and you deserve to find it.

Remember, choosing to step back can sometimes be the kindest thing you can do for both of you. For more on dealing with difficult relationships, check out Interpersonal Relationships.
