How to reflect on a tough relationship

[Mordio]

I’ve been in a situation where I wasn’t sure if the relationship was just difficult or actually unhealthy. Some days it felt good, other days it drained me. Writing pros and cons helped a bit, but it always felt messy and unstructured.

Using an Unhealthy Relationship Pros and Cons Checklist can give more structure. It lays out the positives and negatives side by side – things like support, trust, and respect on one hand, and control, jealousy, or lack of communication on the other. The benefit is that you can adapt it to your own story, editing the checklist with details that matter in your case. Seeing it on paper makes it easier to recognize patterns instead of going in circles in your head.

That’s exactly the kind of tool I’d want. I’d use it to map out which tasks to do week by week, and probably add budget notes right into the list. Helps keep things realistic instead of getting lost in the chaos of renovation.
