When you need to realize that what you're doing isn't healthy and take a look at yourself from the outside.

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!!
