Doing This May Be a Indicator of Bigger Relationship Problems

It’s not uncommon—especially in dating relationships—for someone to say, “If you don’t change, I’m leaving.” But here’s the problem: if you’re not truly serious about walking away, those words can do long-term damage.

Even in marriage, empty threats create insecurity, erode trust, and push your spouse further away instead of pulling them closer.

Now—if you are serious about leaving, that’s different. It means there are deep fractures in the relationship that deserve serious attention and intentional healing.

Either way, whether it’s a manipulative tactic or a genuine warning, throwing “I’m leaving” on the table without addressing the root issues isn’t the answer.

In Marriage in Bloom, I help couples move past these destructive patterns—teaching you how to rebuild trust, communicate clearly, and create a foundation that doesn’t rely on fear to keep you together.
