A recent study has revealed that break-up and divorce could be contagious, just like a seasonal infection. Not just that but the ups and downs of a close friend`s relationship can actually effect your equation with the family. This is because we tend to imbibe their attitude and feeling as we listen to their understanding of the relationships.
Let us first understand how it works and what the way of preventing it is.
Questioning one`s own Relationship:
Let us consider an example to understand this. Imagine that a very close friend of yours has recently filed for divorce.The cause of divorce suggests that you and your partner may also be on the track of splitting up in near future.
Also, if you find your friend talking about unfair distribution of wealth amongst his/her siblings then you too may start doubting the actions of your parents when the time comes for distribution of the property.
Someone may find it hard to make a commitment in relationships just because they have seen many couples break up.
This is how you start questioning about your own relationships.
Being the First to Do it:
The guy who has been watching a close friend go through a break-up or divorce may develop the feeling of getting out of the relationship before his partner leaves him.
How to be Safe:
The best way to stay away from the infection is to have faith in your relationships. Just because your friends are facing issues with their parents, siblings or spouse it does not mean that you may also face similar issues in your life.
Have a wide range of social circle so that you are in contact with different type of people. This will give you a wider picture of life and how it works. Therefore, even if you happen to be in contact with people who are facing problems in their personal life, you shall always have another circle of people to balance things out.
Do not complicate your relationships. Talk and solve your problems.
It is actually dangerous to think on those grounds because it implants insecurity in all types of relationship leading to dire consequences.
