Time Off..!!!
I'm taking a time off.. baby please don't let me suffer too long..
Sometimes, good things end. That's just the way life is. Sometimes, bad things continue due to neglect or fear. This ISN'T the way life should be!
When should a relationship break up? Simple: when it no longer provides benefit to one or both partners. In other words, if you aren't getting what you want or need from being with someone, or if you recognize that your partner isn't getting what they want or need it's time to move on.
Some people say, "Isn't that a little selfish - what about the person you're dumping?" To this, "How can it be good for someone to stay with a person that doesn't want to be with him or her?" After all, how low does your self-esteem (let alone your self-respect) have to be to want to do this? It is by far much healthier to go about finding the relationship that works for you - that gives you what you need, than to apathetically cling to something that isn't fulfilling. Life is too short for this, and you deserve better.
The first step is definitely the hardest: making that important decision to leave. Making that decision is tough but it is empowering. Once you have decided that you want and deserve a better life the rest is much easier. You can then get your plan into action and follow it step-by-step. But the painful reality is that the first step is a dozy. It often takes years to find the courage to leave an abusive (mentally) relationship. Dont be daunted by what it will take to leave, just make that decision then plan out the steps. You will face obstacles along the way but know that you will face each one and conquer them one at a time.
Its a scary and daunting move but it is the first move towards your freedom and onto the life that you know deep down you deserve. Planning for the worst case scenario in every situation is always a good idea, if the worst happens you are prepared, if it doesnt you are ahead of the game. Make a plan and stick to it. Take action and begin your new life knowing that many others have also had to take this road and they are thriving in their new lives.
