What you should do is take time to reflect on yourself. Let go of your wall of pride or stubbornness and look on the inside. Even if you do discover that you have made major mistakes in your relationship that you didn't own up to, it doesn't make you a bad girlfriend or spouse. Use this opportunity to save your relationship. Another part of self-reflection is that it helps you tune into thoughts and feelings you want to share with your man. What's truly bothering you about your relationship? What changes have you noticed in your relationship that's worrying you? Find the answers to these questions, and talk it over with your man. But be careful; sometimes, our minds like to play tricks on us and make us see things that aren't really there. Instead, you may be seeing “problems” in your relationship due to past experiences and assumptions you've made. For instance, say someone you were involved with in the past cheated on you. You noticed the signs of cheating that your past partner displayed, such as distancing himself from you, and you notice similar signs that your current partner is showing. You may think that he's cheating on you based on those signs; however, those signs could be related to a personal issue that your man is struggling with, not cheating. That's why self-reflection is important. You'll learn more about how you feel and think instead of jumping to conclusions.
