Relationships are complicated. You can have no control over it even though you feel you can control it. It takes two to be in a relationship. Then how can one make all the decisions and the other is simply expected to adhere or compromise? You need to take a stand to have your say. You cannot always let your partner overpower your decisions. They maybe right but unless you put forth your viewpoint, you will never know. You will not be able to differentiate as to how right you are and how wrong they can be.
Relationships are complicated if you let them be complicated. You need to dissect your relationship. If you have a solution to a problem and your partner is willing to listen and understand, that understanding can grow into a habit that you both begin to share. Sometimes you will have to take your turn to understand things from your partner’s point of view.
Relationships are all about giving and receiving, teaching and learning, caring and forgiving. However, if it’s a one-sided affair where only one person sacrifices and lets go of things, and the other person simply reigns over without any effort of sacrifice or letting go of things that bother their partner, it often leads to a deadend. Lies, deceit, frustration and anger take the place of love and understanding in that relationship. It’s like only one person is holding the relationship up, whereas on the other side, it is just dangling without support. At such a point, it’s best to end the relationship rather than drag it along while it causes you pain.
I have walked out of relationships when I reached that point, that deadend. I felt no guilt or remorse in doing so. It was the right thing to do. And it’s never too late. Of course, nothing is more important than life. If a relationship affects your mental and physical health detrimentally, it’s best to get rid of it.
So don’t be blinded by love and ignore being rational. Think practically whether you are happy to be in that relationship. That relationship could be with your lover, your parents, siblings, friends, business associates, colleagues or anyone. It is your life and you need to take a stand when you know you are being exploited in a relationship. Your happiness is important for your health. Keep smiling and live a healthy life… 🙂
