A close friend of mine is wrestling with the compounding nature of a relationship during already hectic times in life. He posed the common inquiry, “When is enough ENOUGH?“ I didn’t respond to him. During my last relationship I was unable to determine when it was time to move on and call it quits. I allowed an increasingly unhealthy and mutually abusing situation to develop.
Now the key is to learn from those mistakes. Honestly, I haven’t given it much consideration. I am more elated to be HAPPY with life, even in it’s uncertainties. Through a series of unrelated YouTube clicks, I stumbled upon Kelly Clarkson’s, My Life Would Suck Without You. That song was my mindset… I was truly convinced on a deeper level of emotional and spiritual concern that my life would suck.
Wonderfully, the converse is true. My life doesn’t suck without you.
As per my friend. These are a few off the cuff – IMO – notes. Enough is enough when:
- Long term potential no longer exists and short term purpose is exhausted.
- The relationship is irrecoverably unhealthy.
- You have given the relationship undue priority in your life.
- You are not married and yet you are committed out of obligation.
- You’re not ready to count sacrifice as an investment because you are not certain of your desires for the future.
- Your partner is not supportive and understanding of your dreams and the pursuit there of.
Maybe I can reply to my friend now
