Enough is enough
Hey everyone,
Someone recently asked me to write about how I felt about relationships and I wrote my comments about knowing when its right to walk away.
Leave ur comments if you agree or disagree. It may not be perfect but its my point of view
When enough is enough…
The vast majority of you have been in a relationship. You’ve had your share of arguments, disagreements and silent treatments? But when the arguments become daily and the tears become excessive when will you have the balls to walk away? When will you say that enough is enough?
Being in relationships and observing the dynamic of those around me, there’s always a warning signs of the past that indicate the state of where the relationship is in the present. Warning signs within a relationship let us know that we need to get out before its too late! When a discussion shows signs of verbal abuse and possibly physical abuse (both men and women) tend to downplay the circumstances by making excuses, “Oh well, it’s not that serious” or “we are going through a rough patch” or my favourite “he/she didn’t mean it.” Our life is ours to live and no matter how close you are to someone you can never know what his or her true intentions are. When a constant conversations escalates to an argument and you feel that nothing you say can be good enough…GET OUT or step back and reevaluate why you are there! Why be a constant presence to someone that doesn’t value you. You are doing yourself an injustice but most of all you are diminishing you self-worth.
You may think that it’s nothing too serious and that you’ve stuck through much worse, but please remember the warning signs I told you about. Unless you truthfully address the issue at hand the same situation will keep resurfacing in different scenarios, dressed up with a new hair cut or wrapped up in a Tiffany’s box until you choose to learn. For all you know, that Tiffany’s box may have a clenched fist in it ready to go the minute you open it. Just because that situation is excused with “good intentions” does not mean that it’s acceptable. Acknowledge the common denominator at the end of the day. The more we choose not to learn the lessons that the Universe has presented you, the prettier the boxes will get with the deadliest of gifts. The more we choose not to learn from our mistakes and choose to diminish our self-worth the harder the lessons will come. I always tell people that there are always warning signs before someone cheats, becomes abusive (verbally and physically), etc. If you are choosing not to acknowledge them they will keep returning until you say enough is enough. Think about it, no one has the balls to call you a b***h, scream, push you or punch you on the first date? So then why tolerate it a year, two years, six years down the road or worse yet, when you’ve already said, “I do.”
True love is NOT supposed to hurt. Yes, there are rough times that can be worked through but there is an essential need to be honest with yourself and your partner on whether or not this is working. What’s the problem with having an open and honest dialogue to say to your partner “you’re a jerk!” or “you’re treating me like s**t!” Be honest with yourself and them…lying just to get a rise out of them is not the business. Don’t lie about the situation because you want sympathy in return because karma is a b***h. If you are serious about life, you will be serious about your relationship and even more you should be serious about your self-worth. Before the gloves come off and we are dealing with a Serena Williams and Evander Holyfield fight (or whoever you choose to pick) listen (not hear) carefully and watch (not look), what’s right in front of you. There are always warning signs before the situation gets out of hand. But are you capable to saying – enough is enough?
