Life Kit, Tools To Help You Get It Together
How to decide whether to step back from a difficult relationship — or stick it out
October 28, 20254:01 PM ET, By Marielle Segarra, Clare Marie Schneider, and Malaka Gharib
nadia_bormotova/Getty ImagesYou have a strained relationship with your father, but he recently developed health issues and needs someone to care for him. You don’t feel emotionally fulfilled in your marriage, but you’ve been with your partner for 10 years. You’ve made a new friend who’s nice most of the time, but is mean when she’s angry.
Life Kit, Frustrated by a relationship? Questions to ask yourself to move forward
Should you step back from these relationships or stick them out?
These are the kinds of dilemmas that therapist KC Davis tackles in her book published earlier this year, Who Deserves Your Love: How to Create Boundaries to Start, Strengthen or End Any Relationship. It offers practical advice on how to move forward when relationships with family members, romantic partners or friends become difficult.
The book features a flowchart that Davis calls “The Relationship Decision Tree.” It consists of questions that Davis asks clients when their loved ones are behaving in a way that bothers them. It helps them “make decisions about whether to lean into this relationship or disengage,” she says.
Davis, author of the best-selling book How to Keep House While Drowning, talks through a few questions adapted from her framework.

This question can help you pinpoint exactly what’s “bothering you about a person you love,” Davis says, because often there are many reasons. Parsing through the “why” can help you decide how to proceed.
Let’s say your roommate isn’t doing their chores. Ask yourself what annoys you specifically about that behavior, Davis says. Is it just something you don’t like, or is it actually hurtful or harmful?
Are they willing to change?
Once you start digging deeper, you might find that those dirty dishes in the sink “actually directly impacts me negatively,” Davis says. Maybe they’re starting to attract bugs.
Your next move is to have a conversation with your roommate. Are they willing to change their behavior? They may not do things exactly your way, so work on a solution together. Maybe you strike a deal where they cook and you clean, or they commit to doing the dishes before the end of the night.
Life Kit, This 5-step method can quickly get a messy house back in order
Does staying in this relationship violate my values?
Your most important values are your physical safety, your psychological safety and the physical and psychological safety of minor children, Davis says. “If I cannot meet those responsibilities, then it’s against my values to continue in this relationship.”
You may have other core values as well, like the safety of a dependent parent or sibling, or the keeping of your sobriety.
Would leaving this relationship violate my values?
What happens if staying in the relationship doesn’t violate your values, but you still don’t want to maintain the relationship?

I’m always a bit skeptical when someone writes a self-help book that’s supposedly for me. You see, I’ve been drowning for such a long time it’s become what I expect, and I am aware that most people writing these books have a much larger support system and much more resources than me. Also, I’m a bit difficult when it comes to mental health sort of things because I’ve been there, done that, been told that, and learned that, and so frankly, it’s very rare that I read something that’s completely new or 100% helpful to me. And while this is true to some extent for this book, I really felt like the author at least tried to understand me and my situation, and I appreciated that.
The book clearly doesn’t address all the causes of why someone might not be able to keep house and I felt as if it had some glaring blind spots, but what it does address it does so with compassion, empathy, and kindness. So let me talk about what I enjoyed first.
I am fully on board and fully resonate with the book’s advice to be kind to yourself, to change the way you think about keeping house, and it acknowledges that a great many of us have trauma around keeping house. It’s for this reason why I finally picked up the book, as I tackled not just the house issue, but also the great pile of shame that came from the memories of my aunts marching into my mother’s house (mom worked multiple jobs and was neurodivergent as well), hauling me out of there and then going in to “clean up” which mostly consisted of throwing stuff out. This cycle continued multiple times while I was growing up, and even now, decades later, I’m not sure my aunts truly understand what was going on there, especially since other members of my family showed similar traits. When you grow up thinking “love equals stuff” because the love was always conditional, well, there’s a lot of trauma there.
I appreciated reading something I’d understood–that it was okay to use paper plates, or even throw things out if they didn’t get cleaned for the recycling. I’d taken to using children’s toothpaste, which the author suggested, and boy it was a game changer for me, so I was thrilled to read this advice. (If I have any good memory of the dentist, it was the Styrofoam trays filled with bubble gum flavored fluoride. So allow me my joy in my bubble gum flavored toothpaste. My inner child thanks me.)
On page 70 the author writes it’s not waste if you use something to function. And I would add to that, as individuals, the best we can do environmentally will never replace bad corporate actors, nor will our worst outweigh them. So while it’s important that we be aware of the environment and do what we can within our means, limits, and abilities — guilt and shame shouldn’t be involved here. You’re doing the best you can. I’m sure of it! There are big systems at play designed to keep us from fully realizing our climate goals. (For example as someone who lives rural, I have to drive my recycling into town. Now I combine trips and only do that once or twice a month, but still…I admit it feels “odd” to DRIVE my recycling somewhere.)
There’s even a section about division of labor and trying to determine “work” vs “rest” and an equitable division of rest. For this reason, I suggested to my spouse that he read the book since I know he also grew up with “stuff” around cleaning, and I look forward to conversations.
So I will say there was one topic that wasn’t addressed in the book. And I get it. The author is not just trying to promote her own platform and classes, though there isn’t any mention of those until you get to the “About the Author” platform, but also, it’s complex, and that is why some of us have so much stuff.
For me, it’s because not only do I live in a family where stuff=love, but this was taken to absurd extremes when both my aunt and my grandma moved into assisted living and eventually a nursing home. And guess what? Most of their stuff was given to me. And I’m still sorting through it and trying to figure out what to do with it all. Some of it, like grandma’s recipes, I’m thrilled to have. Other, like that new pan my aunt bought and thought someone needed to use, well that got donated.
Or the other issue which wasn’t discussed, but what if you work two, or three jobs, and maybe go to college, and don’t have time to do “care chores” as she calls them. I mean if you’re not even hitting subsistence level income, then learning to breathe underwater as you clean your house to get back to the surface is only a fraction of your problems and a functional space doesn’t pay the bills.
So I enjoyed this book, but I think it’s important, as I suspected going into it, that it’s limited and it comes from a place where many of us simply don’t exist. I know many people who read and appreciated this book and who got a lot of out of it, so I want to recommend it if you’re just stepping into this space. I read it because of my focus on shame, and I’m not upset I did. But I think it’s also important to know that “teaching someone how to breathe underwater” really isn’t addressing why they’re drowning in the first place, and that’s a socioeconomic conversation that most people in the mental health field, of which the author is a part, aren’t willing to have.

Also, because it's really important.
If you can't cook today, heat up something frozen, or have a friend bring you a sandwich. You can get back to cooking tomorrow.
If you can't shower today, grab the baby wipes. Even if you're struggling, you can still feel clean.
You are not a failure, and people who are having a hard time deserve compassion. Good enough is perfect, and anything worth doing is worth doing half-assed. And care tasks are morally neutral.

#amreading #read How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60139504-how-to-keep-house-while-drowning ) and it's very sweet, I too believe people should be liberated from societal regulations over how (or if) they fold their underwear. The book doesn't offer a whole lot, but it's strength is in it's focus, in a self explanatory approach that overdoing isn't a goal.
Attainable mini goals are usually better than a big barrier that seems impossible.
