How to make tough choices in relationships

As a therapist who counsels couples, I have seen many people struggle with tough problems that are difficult to talk about. How do you tell a partner you do not want to move in together? Should you reveal an affair? A decisional impasse ranks high among the reasons people seek marital therapy. Decision paralysis is not a relationship problem, it is a human one. Facing a painful or scary decision about our relationships is stressful, which can make it even harder to make a decision.
