WHEN DO YOU PULL AWAY FROM A RELATIONSHIP?

You think and feel you found happiness. You both fit. You both are too excited. But as you begin to settle down and discover things that rather overwhelm you and can't seem to make it work, you begin to feel the shudder of doubts and skepticism. But deep inside of you and your heart, you know you have a spark of love that keeps on getting inflamed now and then. But truth keeps coming at you like it isn't what you expected..

Something is evidently wrong. You know that feeling when it is circling around you like dark clouds building up to a destructive force worst than any storms you've ever been into.

The problem is: Not that you don't want to leave, but that it is very difficult to come up with an excuse why you should leave because there are some traits and characteristics that just blow you away.

Measuring up to your expectations are detrimental to any foundation of a good possibility of building up a strong commitment to stay. Yet giving more consideration seems like you're knocking at the gates of hell.

Question is when do you know when it is time for you to cut loose? Scram? Let go and go solo again?

These are very self explanatory questions sometimes but when it is you that is hurting and can't seem to find balance and trust in yourself it is hard. When you fear that the past will come creeping back and haunt you, it is not good. Yet your heart is so stubborn and your mind is going blinder than it ever was, it is very difficult. At least to me.

The truth is, not that you're not happy and content being alone, but admittedly there are so many good parts of this relationship that you've never encountered ever, and just want to stay longer.
Definitely if these issues are resolved (I know they can be resolved as love is truly there) then it would be heaven. Meantime, you're caught in a bam of two extremes where the middle point is hazy.


When do you salvage a relationship and when do you shrug your shoulders and let go?

Richard, thanks, sometimes what's scaring us the most is our lack of control. Yes the future is never encased as we design in fact our reactions to which our input and actions are but those that make us without control. Bug fear is a euphoric sentiments putting us on the edge. Only we can determine the consequences upon which we cultivate our decision if staying is a choice or a demand.

I am aware that all the requirements needed to leave had not occurred yet, just lacking of assurance that it wouldn't repeat itself. Thanks so much
Love thanks for your input. Consuming our fear is like a shroud of dark storms relentlessly pounding us for resilience yet it's the very spirit of the soul that makes us stronger and refusing to give up.

None the less many a tests must be a measure to challenge us before giving up or I'd discredit love and passion on this one.

I opt to take more struggles to fill my doubts.

Then I'd say: it's wort worthy to explore more if only to know the strength I've got.

Thanks love

Heyy hey pretty Lindsy,

Hmm, your blog poses an interesting question. Is this something like Relationship-Interruptus? confused

Oh well, not sure how to answer here, as I belong to the "Nobody loves me club".. but I wanted to stop by and say "hi" and wish you a good day and night.

Interesting blog! thumbs up grin
Lindsy, if you honestly seek for a dicision you should go by what your heart feels. Only your heart can tell you which can be the happier path for you to go..heart wings smitten love
Calleis thanks for your valued input, indeed I'm too old to rationalize love. I'm sure I'm in it for the right feelings albeit shallow reason ls. And I'm ready to face all the consequences.

Love is all too powerful, and whom can refute it, it's here and loving it.

Thanks my friend Calleis
I simply think you are clone of mine... some times back I used to think the samecool cool handshake
Zach thanks. How are you? I'm sure we are so alike and I'm glad it's not me alone on this journey, you know?

Thanks for the support.
Z my friend, I got this new Samsung G5 phone and boy it just creates the word and before I know it, it is already typed in for me. I didn't mean to mutilate your name.

Anyways, thanks again.bouquet
Hi LJ, thanks, life is busy but good. I do know where you are coming from as in regards to used being on your own. I always took my time after a relationship, but for the first time ever, I would find it difficult to have someone around me for longer periods of time, which is a first. I have grown to like living a quiet life and to do things myself and my way.

I don't think anyone can change a person and we just have to accept someone as they are and also just be ourselves.

I never had problems taking chances and letting someone in my life (and haven't regretted it), but the last while I just do find it wearing, and I am not sure if it's the simple reason that I haven't met anyone I like in a long time or that I'm liking my quiet life too much.

There are always chances worth taking and that sounds like one. I wish you happiness. bouquet
KN my friend, after living alone after my divorce with my ex of 28 years, I had one very beautiful and passionate love, whom I met here from Australia. Almost two years but it was the most tumultuous love affair there ever was due to jealousy which I can't handle.

The great news with this current is all that I ever wanted to do is up ahead with us doing it together and I do love him more than anything else.

Having said that, I am sure we will make it a very long and wonderful life and love, just that my insecurity of the past being a possibility of coming in to visit us once in a while is creating discomfort and fear with me. But assuredly he expressed that all is going to be for the both of us, regardless as to what we want to do and I am confident at the moment it is this way.

When if ever it will come, I will then, make that needed decision regardless of the inconvenience.

There is nothing like peace, trust and passion that all go together my friend.

Thanks again KN.
If it feels right with someone LJ, just enjoy it. Often things to hold us back are ourselves. I had it in the past that with the right person it just was - no awkwardness, no questioning things, no need for solitude, just spending time together, thinking of someone and enjoying each others company. Have a great time! wine
KN wow these words blow me away my friend. Exactly this is what I am going to do. Enjoy the ride whether it is going up, down or however the road is or the weather is. Togetherness is the key and have some fun, peace and passion at the same time and I do have all these KN. It is more of our joint commitment to make it through that counts and marriage is already discussed but 1000 days was always my point of reference on all my relationships and it worked for me..

Thanks my friend,..
