Going on dating apps doesn’t resolve the issues within your relationship.

Turning to dating apps in these instances makes you feel better by giving you a boost to your ego.

Additionally, it gives you the satisfaction of doing something you know is bad so as to get back at the partner who mistreats you.

All of these motivations are wrong.

All they do is exacerbate the situation.

A partner that mistreats you is a critical problem that must be addressed.

It won’t be solved by going on dating apps.

Talking to your partner about your boundaries and expectations in how you want to be treated is critical.

Upon having this conversation, actionable steps to resolve these relationship issues have to be laid out and mutually agreed upon.

A partner who engages in listening to you and actively resolving these issues is showing through his actions that he wants to work on them.

He has to be made aware of what is happening.

The problem of mistreatment won’t go away if you don’t have an honest conversation with your partner.

When you choose to go on dating apps instead, it creates a perilous cycle.

This is where your mind finds comfort in knowing you have dating apps to escape to whenever your partner mistreats you.

It tricks you into believing there is someone better out there, as well as gives you the satisfaction of punishing the partner who mistreated you by making him fearful of losing you.

The reality is, under these circumstances, if you were to choose to break up with your partner and go with a new man from one of these dating apps, the relationship would be a farce.

You would be dating him under the pretense he is better than your current partner.

In essence, that match would be a rebound obtained under a misguided premise.

All of this means that the new relationship is bound to suffer too.

This doesn’t benefit you, so why keep putting yourself in a situation where the temptation to find a rebound on dating apps is so potent?

Rather, you are better off staying off of the dating apps.

Quit repeating the same cycle by running to them whenever your partner mistreats you.

It’s better to talk to your partner about their behavior.

As long as your partner is ready to resolve their bad behavior by taking actionable steps, you are better off giving your relationship a chance.

As human beings, we are usually prone to running from our problems instead of solving them.

It’s easier to run away from our relationship problems in the moment.

However, over the long term, the relationship itself or any new pretentious relationship you foster from a match on dating apps is all bound to fail.

Stop going on the dating apps when your partner mistreats you.

Communicate with your partner about the issues within the relationship and see whether they can be resolved.

If you both diligently work to fix the issues and fail, take some time out to heal and learn more about yourself.

With this time to do an in-depth introspection and grow as a person, you are in a much better place to make the right choice in who you decide to date in the future.
