What happens when the cons outweigh the pros?

The technical term is decisional balance: like a weight scale, one side (the pros) versus the other side (the cons). As you read in Changeology, the pros and the cons predict who succeeds at self-change and who does not. The Pros will outweigh the Cons in the end but not always at the beginning.

What is better pros or cons?

A pros and cons list is a chart that helps you make a decision. On the pros side of the list, you add all of the positive outcomes of a decision.

How do I stop seeing cons in a relationship?

Do the pros or cons outnumber the cons?

One ‘Pro’ or ‘Con’ may not be equal to another.

Why? Because those few Pros are very important to me.

How do you know when a relationship is over?

How do you know when to walk away from a relationship?
