When Enough Is Enough

When Enough Is Enough

There comes a point, when you just realize that the person you're with isn't healthy for you anymore. If you're questioning their motives, wondering where they are, wondering who they're with, when being with them causes you pain.. it's probably time to move on. It's funny though, when you're in that situation, you tend not to see it that way. Sometimes, it takes a person on the outside to say "hey, this isn't good for you".

This happended to me last year. I was with someone who, I honestly knew all along was the wrong person for me, but didn't listen to that inner voice. (PLEASE! ALWAYS listen to that voice, because it's more right than anything else. It instinctively knows what you need and whatis best for you) My family was constantly telling me that he was wrong for me and just making a huge deal out of it. And, to be honest, I think that almost made me attracted to him more. I wanted to do the unexpected and surprise people. It's almost like I wanted attention,
which was wrong. I had grown up in a very lonely place and it's just the only way I'd learned, I guess.

Looking back, I realize that I was only with him because he was there and he manipulated me. I don't want to get too in-depth with it, because it is very personal, so I'll leave it at that :)

The strange thing is, no matter who told me he was wrong for me, I just wouldn't listen. Then, randomly, this girl at work and I started talking about our relationships and she told me that I needed to move on and find someone else. She wanted me to hook up with this guy at work. So, what did I do? I listened, and I am not living with that guy at our work!! He's amazing and it's the best choice I've ever made!! I'm so glad I listened, even though I was stubborn and it took me a bit too long.

So, listen to people. If they're telling you something.. you're probably just not seeing it, like I wasn't. Good luck to everyone!

Also: leave me comments about similar situations or your current relationship. I LOVE chatting!!

I really enjoyed reading your article, thank you for sharing! I also have been in the same situation as you...

I had an ex that treated me like crap and his excuse was because we had a long distance relationship.

None of my family liked him and thought he had problems. Which he did, he had aniexty and a few other issues but it didn't mean he had to be the way he was to me.

We were on and off again for 2 years then finnally I let him go. I was spending more time crying about how awful our relationship was then fixing it in the end, however he did not want to fix the issues anyways...

Letting him go was very hard on me and after our final breakup we still acted like we were dating. When he got a new girlfriend it hurt even more but I was able to let him go easier seeing that he was with someone else.

In the end I did myself a huge favour he verbally abused me all the time (mostly over MSN) but still. Growing up I was verbally abused by my father as well so this was very hard to deal with on a constant basis.

Thankfully since he has been gone I have been able to move on and date better people and now have a live in boyfriend of almost 3 years who treats me pretty good! =)
