How many people have stayed in a toxic, unhealthy or just loveless relationship?
The relationship may not be going anywhere or it could be just plain toxic but you end up sitting idly by for weeks, months, years even--until things become unbearable--sometimes literally. Instead of cutting your losses and walking away you stay and stay, often times creating a new enemy in the process. Why is it so hard to shake hands, walk away and admit that it just wasn't a good fit? No hard feelings, those puzzle pieces just don't match. It can seem more painful to walk away than ending the situation. Is it loneliness? The fear that we will never find anyone else? Are we just comfortable? Lazy? Maybe taking the time and risk to start over with someone new is just too daunting. But what if we are sacrificing our happiness and eventually our longevity by forcing relationships that aren't meant to happen? Is the idea that some of us are made to be alone too big a pill to swallow? What if we could find genuine happiness in ourselves, accomplish our life's purpose and even live longer simply by letting go and accepting the fact that not everyone dies married with children.
