Priyanka MB, a psychologist, says that 90 per cent of her clients are people who are facing problems in such relationships. Elaborating, she adds, “A lot of factors including childhood trauma and unhealthy relationship patters in the family contribute to the cause. Today relationships are more about lifestyle and a social stigma. A person who has been in such a relationship is also going to have self esteem issues and a distorted perception of themselves. It seeps into their other relationships and career. As a solution, it is important for us to learn to commit, understand, communicate and respect our partners for a healthy relationship.”
