5 Signs That it’s Time to Break Up With Someone

April 29, 2021/by Mitzi Bockmann


Are you wondering if it ‘ s time to break up with someone who is making you miserable?

Are you unhappy in your relationship but perhaps rationalizing why you should stay, wondering if things would be different with someone else?

Are you scared that you might be making a mistake if you walk away and worried that you might never be happy again?

Let me help you.

Deciding to let go of someone you love is a very hard thing to do. Much like the hope that a coma victim will wake up, the hope of resurrecting lost love is one that ‘ s hard to let go of.

So, how do you know when it ‘ s time to break up with someone? Check out my list below. If any, or all, of these criteria fit your situation then perhaps it ‘ s time to end your relationship and move on.

#1 – Can you talk about things?

Relationships are very intense and very personal. A key part of keeping a relationship healthy is communication.

When issues arise, it is important that they are addressed head on, with clearly spoken words and a mutual understanding about what is being said. It is important that there is a give and take so that everyone ‘ s needs are met and that both people feel safe and secure in the relationship.

Relationships that end usually involve people who can no longer communicate. They aren ‘ t able to talk about their feelings and they aren ‘ t able to listen to others talk about theirs. They aren ‘ t able to address issues and so they fester.

If you are in a relationship without communication, one where you don ‘ t feel safe sharing how you feel, then it might be time to let go of the relationship and move forward.

#2 – Are you getting mixed messages?

Is your person alternating hot and cold?

Do some days they seem like their loving self and then on others are they crabby and distant and no fun to be with?

Are they one moment kind and loving and then another dismissive and condescending?

Do they disappear only to reappear with lame excuses?

Is the way they are treating you now very different from the way they treated you in the beginning?

People who are ‘ ˜all in ‘ in a relationship don ‘ t give you mixed messages. Of course, no one is perfect and there will be moments of anger and impatience and harsh word, but people in healthy relationships, in general, treat each other with respect. They are consistent with their feelings and honest about their behaviors.

If your person makes you feel constantly off kilter and anxious, it is definitely a sign that it might be time to let them go.

#3 – Does history keeps repeating itself?

Are you and your person stuck in a cycle of good and bad, up and down, highs and lows? Are there days when things feel almostlike they used to and then days when things are so bad that you want to cry?

Does your person tell you that he needs space and disappear only to reappear a few weeks later telling you how much he misses you?

Do you fight over the same subjects over and over?

Do you live constantly with the hope that things will change but they never do, no matter how hard either one, or both, of you try?

If you find yourself in these kinds of patterns, where things are never constantly good but rather a roller coaster of emotions that is sucking you dry, then it ‘ s time to let break up with someone who makes you feel that way and move on.

#4 – Are you staying for the wrong reasons?

Be honest. Do you sometimes think that you just can ‘ t let this person go because you believe if you do that you will never love, or be loved, again?

Does the prospect of going back to online dating or thinking that you might have to attend the Christmas party alone make you feel nothing but dread?

Perhaps you feel like you have so much time invested in this person and you don ‘ t believe in giving up?

Are you staying because you know that your person could change if you just loved them enough?

If you are staying for any reason other than the fact that you love them and are happy with who they are right now, then you are staying for the wrong reasons.

Know that, you will only find the love and happiness you seek if you can let go of someone who is wrong for you and move forward to find someone who will love you the way you want to be loved.

#5 – You don ‘ t have a life of your own.

It is very important that both sides of a relationship arenot completely reliant on the other for their happiness.

I have a client whose whole life has to revolve around her husband. He insists that she wake up with him, make him breakfast, get him off to work, clean the house after he is gone, bring him lunch at work, make dinner for when he comes home and watch what he wants to watch every night.

She has been forced to turn her back on everyone in her life so that her husband can be happy. She tells herself that she is happy because he is happy but really, she isn ‘ t.

She doesn ‘ t feel good about who she is in the world. She has no self-confidence and no dreams for the future. All she has is her husband and a life that is making her miserable.

Make sure that, when you are in a relationship, you have lots of things in your life outside of it. Make sure you have a job, or a hobby, that you love. Make sure that you have friends who you can play with. Make sure that you spend time by yourself so that you are comfortable being alone.

Make sure that you are making choices for how you want to live your life and that you aren ‘ t being controlled by your partner.

If you have lost yourself and your life is out of you control, perhaps it ‘ s time to break up with someone who has made it that way.

I am guessing that, if you are reading this article, you are wondering if it ‘ s time to break up with someone because you suspect, deep down, that this relationship will only make you miserable.

But it ‘ s hard to admit this and even harder to let go.

It is essential, for your mental health and the health of your future love life, that you pay close attention to whether this relationship can ever make you happy.

I can promise you that holding onto to someone whose attentions are inconsistent, to a relationship where toxic patterns are repeated and one in which you have no control will only prevent you from finding the person who can really love you the way that you want to be loved!

You can do this! I promise.

To help you let go of love and move on, I have created a course that helps people get over a broken heart and rebuild their life, 4 Weeks to Letting Go of Love and Moving On. You might find it to be just the thing you need to take that first step towards the rest of your life!

5 Ways to Forgive Someone Who Has Had an Affair

April 25, 2021/by Mitzi Bockmann


If you have just found out that your partner has cheated, I am guessing that you are asking yourself how to forgive someone who has had an affair.

I mean, your person has betrayed you. The person you love and want to be with has been with someone else.

And you wonder if you will ever be able to get past it. Ever be able to be happy with your person again.

I can tell you that it is possible to forgive someone who has had an affair, but that it will take some time and effort.

If forgiveness is something that you actively seek, here are 5 things that you can do to get there.

#1 – Ask yourself if and why you really want this.

You have been betrayed. You are devastated. You are angry. You are sad.

And you probably want, more than anything, to go back to that time when you didn ‘ t know your partner had cheated because you were happy then.

So, let me ask you, are you seeking to forgive your partner so that your life can get back to normal? Or are you seeking to forgive your partner because you want to move forward with your partner toward a healthy relationship?

Forgiveness doesn ‘ t mean burying your head in the sand so that you can get back to the way things were. Doing so will only prolong your pain and any chance of recovery.

Once you are clear on why you want to work to forgive, it is important that you decide whether or not forgiveness is something that you are determined to achieve. This process won ‘ t be easy, and it ‘ s going to take determination and work to get to that place where you can forgive and move forward.

So, take a good hard look at whether you think you can get to a place of forgiveness. You might find that you aren ‘ t sure if you can get there yet but that you are ok taking the first steps down the road. Take it one step at a time, reevaluating as you go along if forgiveness is possible.

#2 – Talk to your partner ‘ ¦

It is essential that you and your partner discuss what has happened.

There has been a betrayal, and there is a serious breach of trust between the two of you. And for you to be able to move forward, your partner needs to acknowledge what has happened and accept responsibility.

Many people, after they have cheated, refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Instead of saying, ‘ ˜yes, I did it, ‘ they lie, they deny, they blame, they justify.

You will find it very difficult to forgive someone who doesn ‘ t acknowledge their actions and the effect that it has had on you.

It is essential that you and your partner are able to talk honestly about what happened so that can have the opportunity to forgive. If your partner doubles down and refuses to discuss it, you will be left with nothing but questions and pain, which will make forgiveness impossible.

#3 – ‘ ¦but don ‘ t ask for details.

I have a client who, once she found out that her husband was having an affair, insisted that he let her read all of the correspondence between him and his lover. Boy, did she regret it?

On top of the knowledge that her husband was cheating on her, after reading the texts, she had insight into the intimacies they shared. His declaration that he needed to be with his lover, his lover saying deprecating things about my client, their plans for going away together, and talk of the future were all devastating to see.

And once she had seen them, she could never unsee them.

What happened next? Even though she wanted to forgive him, even though he was willing to take responsibility for what happened, and even though they sought help, the words that she read stayed in her head, playing themselves over and over and over. As a result, she was never able to reach the forgiveness that they both hoped she would achieve and their marriage ended.

So, talk to your partner but don ‘ t ask for details. If you do, you might very well regret it.

#4 – Get help.

It is important that you get help processing what happened with your partner.

You have been betrayed by the person you loved. You are most likely furious, but you are also devastated. You might even blame yourself. All of these things are things that, if left unmanaged, can hinder your ability to forgive and only plunge you down into a darker place.

I would encourage you to seek help from a therapist or a life coach, to process what has happened, to take a look at your role in it, to define steps that you, personally, need to take to work through this and to hold yourself accountable to do so.

If you actively want to forgive someone who has had an affair, get some help. Don ‘ t just talk to your friends about what happened. They will tell you what you want to hear, which won ‘ t help you move forward and might even hinder it.

#5 – Consider couple ‘ s counseling.

Ok, you have decided that you are going to work to try to forgive your partner for what happened. You have talked about it together, and you have done some work on your own to process what you are going through and how to take care of yourself.

Now comes this very important part. Counseling.

Ugh, I know. Counseling sounds so horrible, and for many people, the embarrassment around an affair is enough to make them avoid therapy at all costs.

But, the affair didn ‘ t happen in a void. There was something missing or amiss in your relationship that opened up the door for cheating. And this thing is important to identify.

Furthermore, a therapist can help the betrayer understand how the betrayed feels, which I have found is a key to forgiveness – knowing that the person truly understands the effect the cheating had on them.

I know that your instinct is to try to work through this together without help. I am guessing that your partner, particularly, doesn ‘ t want to go down this road with a professional but getting some guidance when working through this is the key to being able to forgive someone who has had an affair.

Learning how to forgive someone who has had an affair is not an easy thing.

What has happened is big – almost like a death – and dealing with it will take time and work.

Not everyone can reach a place of forgiveness, and if that is you, it ‘ s ok. It ‘ s ok to want to move forward alone, so don ‘ t judge yourself for deciding to do so.

On the other hand, if you want to forgive and move forward, it ‘ s definitely worth trying, so go for it! You might just find a happier, healthier relationship on the other side!

Am I Depressed or Just Sad? 5 Key Signs To Watch For

April 21, 2021/by Mitzi Bockmann


Many of us, when we are feeling down about our lives or ourselves, wonder if we are depressed or just sad. Should we be worried about our mood or should we just ride it out? ‘

There is a fine line between being sad and being depressed. Knowing the differences is key to knowing how to manage and treat how you are feeling.

While there are many different variations of depression, there are two fundamental forms. Chemical depression, is depression caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain, one that is often genetic or the result of trauma. Situational depression is usually a short-term sadness, often brought on by a life event.

Which one are you struggling with? There are some ways to tell.

Here are 5 Signs To Know That You Are Depressed Or Just Sad:

#1 – Has something happened?

One way to tell if you are depressed or just sad is to consider what is happening in your life right now.

Has your dog died? Is a parent sick? Have you lost your job? Did you have a car accident?

Sometimes, life events happen that make us feel overwhelmed and sad. It happens. And the result of those life events can cause situational depression, a short-term feeling of depression, one that feels bad but will most likely pass.

The key thing to ask yourself, if you are wondering if you are depressed or just sad, is if you felt this way before this thing, or things, happened or did your mood change because of the event. If you were fine before the event happened, then you are most likely just sad and the depression will pass with time.

If you were feeling this way before, you just might be dealing with chemical depression so read on!

#2 – Have you been feeling down for a while?

Of course, after your dog dies, you are going to feel sad for a while. Just looking at the chair that they slept on can send you down into a dark hole. But, with time, while the pain and sadness is still there, it will ease and you will be able to go on with your life.

If you find that you aren ‘ t feeling better with time but in fact are feeling the same or worse, then it could be that you are dealing with a chemical depression. Depression is caused by something more systemic than a life event.

So, try to look back on the past few days, weeks, months and years and see where your moods have been. Have you been up and down, as life throws its curveballs at you, or do you find that you have been down more often than up?

If you can ‘ t remember how the past period of time has been, start keeping a mood chart. Keep track, on a daily basis, of how your mood is.

On a scale of 1-10, keep track of where your mood is each day, 10 being great, and 1 being horrible. This way, you will have a record of your moods, and you can watch what happens to them.

If you are consistently below a 5, then that ‘ s a piece of information. If you are up and down the whole spectrum, that ‘ s another piece of information.

You can use this information to help yourself, your doctor or your friends understand what is happening with your moods so that you can figure out how to deal with them.

#3 – Are you feeling hopeless?

The hallmark of chemical depression is hopelessness. That feeling that you will never be happy again, that you will never love or be loved, that life isn ‘ t worth living and why should you even bother, anyway. I am not saying you are suicidal (although you might be), but you are definitely questioning everything that life has to offer.

When we are struggling with sadness with situational depression, generally, our outlook isn ‘ t hopeless. When my dog died, I was sad, but I didn ‘ t struggle with questioning my life or examining my choices. I was just sad that she wasn ‘ t here with me, and I missed her. I miss her still, but now I have a cat, and I am happy.

So, if you find that you are struggling with hopelessness and despair, you might consider that you are struggling with more than just sadness and that it ‘ s time to get help.

#4 – Is it getting worse?

Depression gets worse the longer it goes untreated. It ‘ s a sad fact, but it ‘ s true.

Do you find that your depression is worsening over time? Has it come and gone in recent years but are you finding that it is present more often than not? Are you finding it harder to deal with than before?

Usually, when we are sad, our sadness doesn ‘ t progressively get worse. Instead, it gets better. When my mom died, the first few weeks and months were incredibly painful. I was sad sad, sad. But, as life has gone on and time has passed, my sadness has lessened. Yes, I still have moments when I am deeply sad but that sadness passes. It certainly hasn ‘ t gotten worse.

If you find that your down mood is getting worse and not better, you might definitely be struggling with depression and learning how to manage it is important.

#5 – Does depression run in your family?

In my family, depression goes back generations. My great-grandfather was institutionalized for 40 years and my grandfather was subjected to horrific treatments in the 50 ‘ s. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 42 and learned then that, in many cases, depression, and other mood disorders, are passed down in the family.

Of course, families can struggle with situational depression. My siblings and my kids were as devastated as I was about my mom ‘ s death and we all struggled. But we have all been able to move forward and not have the sadness affect our lives.

Consider your family. Does your mother or your sister struggle with their moods? Does your dad get angry easily or your child disappear into their rooms some days? It is very likely that, if someone else in your family struggles like you do, then you very well might be chemically depressed and it might be time to get help.

Knowing if you are depressed or just sad is a key part to figuring out how to manage it.

If you find that nothing significant has happened in your life, that your hopelessness has been with you for a while and is getting worse, and if mood disorders run in your family, then you might be struggling with chemical depression. And if you are dealing with chemical depression, reach out to your primary care doctor to see what kind of treatment they might recommend to help you manage it.

If you are sad because of a recent loss in your life or something that has happened but your sadness hasn ‘ t lasted for a long time or is getting worse, then you might be dealing with situational depression. I would encourage you to take care of yourself, eat and sleep well, exercise and see if it passes with time.

If it doesn ‘ t, again, reach out to your primary care doctor and see what they might recommend to help you get through this rough period of time.

Depression and sadness don ‘ t have to hold you back from living your life! Face them head on, learn how to manage them and move forward. You will be ok!

Why You Can’t Stay Away from Each Other, Even if You are Miserable

April 18, 2021/by Mitzi Bockmann


Are you in a toxic relationship and are you wondering why you can ‘ t stay away from each other? Why, in spite of the hurt and the anger, breaking up is just impossible?

So many of us get in this position where, in spite of being absolutely miserable, we hold on, stuck in the cycle of suffering.

Why do we do that? For many reasons. Knowing them might help you finally realize that you can let of someone and get on with your life.

So, why can ‘ t you stay away from each other?

#1 – Those moments of happiness.

You know what I am talking about – those moments when everything is great.

Perhaps its watching the kids open their Christmas presents, or uniting against difficult in-laws or simply enjoying a sunset together. Those moments that bring you back to where you were at the beginning of your relationship, when you were a team, when you loved each other.

Those moments are very potent ones and they are moments that make you pause and wonder if breaking up is a good idea, if perhaps there isn ‘ t hope that you can work things out. They make you wonder if you could ever have moments like this with anyone else.

And those moments of happiness are wonderful. But they are just moments, aren ‘ t they? Moments in the middle of the misery you are both living with.

So yes, appreciate those moments but ask yourself if those moments are worth it.

#2 – You don ‘ t want to give up.

I hear this from so many of my clients. ‘ ˜I am not a quitter. ‘ And I can totally appreciate that. No one wants to give up on anything, especially something as important as a relationship, so they hold on, believing that, perhaps even by sheer force of will, if they don ‘ t give up, all will be fine.

What I tell my clients when they tell me they don ‘ t want to quit is that it ‘ s important that BOTH partners in a relationship are fighting to keep the relationship, that it ‘ s not a one-sided effort.

Many of my clients give and give and give in the face of the misery, hoping that their person will just love them again and that their lives together can be happy and not hell on Earth. But if their person isn ‘ t trying in return, there is no fight to fight and giving up might be the only option.

Remember, giving up is okay. Sometimes there is nothing that can be done to save a relationship and throwing in the towel doesn ‘ t mean failure. It means that you are strong enough to let go of something that is making everyone miserable and move forward towards happiness and love.

#3 – Habits.

I know it seems really basic but one of the reasons that you can ‘ t stay away from each other, even though you are miserable, is because of habits and traditions.

I know that when I was considering leaving my husband because we were both miserable, it was the small things that kept me from doing so.

The thoughts of no more Friday night videos and Caribbean Christmases and summer visits to my mom and sharing of carpool duties were enough to paralyze me into staying. I couldn ‘ t imagine there being any change in the things that we had been doing for decades.

Are there things that you and your person have always done together that seem impossible to let go of? Whether they are big or small, they are often enough to keep us from leaving.

I can tell you this, 10 years after my divorce, I have someone else to watch Friday night movies with, my kids and I have kept up the tradition of Caribbean Christmases and summer visits to my mom ‘ s. And somehow, everyone seems to get where they need to be, even though we are no longer married.

So, don ‘ t let habits keep you in something that is making you miserable. Life is too short!

#4 – Fear of pain.

Many people don ‘ t realize that one of the reasons that they don ‘ t make change, whether it be leaving a relationship, moving to another town or changing jobs, is because they are afraid of the feeling of pain that might result.

Our bodies are hardwired to avoid and fear pain – it ‘ s a matter of survival to do so. So, when we are faced with something potentially painful, like the loss of a relationship, we shut down.

Our brains do whatever they can to stop the pain from coming. Think about where you are right now – is your head full of all sorts of competing thoughts? Do I stay or do I go? What happens if I do? Will I ever be loved again? What about the kids? The thoughts go round and round and round and you are exhausted and left searching the internet for answers.

That is your brain, sabotaging you from taking a step that might cause you pain. And it ‘ s a every effective tool because the confusion shuts us down from taking action unless we can push through it.

So, recognize that your fear of the pain is probably a big reason why you just can ‘ t leave.

#5 – The attraction.

A LOT of my clients who are in unhappy relationships still have really good sex lives.

Perhaps it ‘ s the drama of their situation or perhaps it ‘ s a chemistry that has never faded since the beginning. Whatever it is, that attraction is real and important and hard to walk away from.

And, when the sex is that good, it ‘ s like those little moments – it makes is hard to rationalize walking away. I mean, if the sex is amazing, the relationship must be salvageable.

Unfortunately, sexual chemistry and healthy relationships don ‘ t always go hand in hand. Some people have good sex and just can ‘ t agree on anything else. Conversely, I know people who are madly in love but their sex life struggle. It ‘ s very frustrating.

Like pain, sex is a primal thing, something that helps keep us alive and propagate the species. The prospect of giving it up can be terrifying and the fear that we will never feel so good, sexually, again, is enough to stop us from walking away from someone who makes us miserable.

Knowing why you can ‘ t stay away from each other, even though you are miserable, is the key to actually doing so.

If you know that when those little moments or the sexual chemistry pop up and makes you question everything, it ‘ s important to consider if they are enough to change things, to make you happy. If you worry about having to do things differently or are scared of letting go, ask yourself if you could adapt, if you could ride through any pain, if it means finding love.

Don ‘ t stay with the wrong person even a moment more. Your love is out there waiting – don ‘ t make them wait much longer!

How to Stand up to Someone Who Doesn’t Value You

April 7, 2021/by Mitzi Bockmann

 

I know it might seem impossible to do but knowing how to stand up to someone who doesn ‘ t value you is the key to being happy.

So many of us do it – no matter how badly we are treated, we won ‘ t walk away. We want so badly to love and be loved and we never want to give up hope, so we stay. And we suffer.

If you have a clear understanding of the specific things that you need to do to successfully stand up to someone who doesn ‘ t value you, you will have a far better chance of doing so and being happy.

So, how do you stand up for, and get, what you want?

#1 – Don ‘ t justify their behaviors.

I can ‘ t tell you how many of my clients justify their person ‘ s behavior when they are treated badly.

I have a client whose guy was always late. It was so disrespectful. What did she do? She justified it by saying he had to help people at his recovery group. How could she be upset if he was helping others?

Another client said that her boyfriend could never go out after work because he had to be there for his kids – even on days that he didn ‘ t have them. She said that he must have had other things to do with them – every time he used that excuse.

How about your person? Does your person do things that you know aren ‘ t ok and are you willing to write those things off? If you had a friend who told you the things that your person is doing to you was being done to them, would you tell them to run and run fast?

It is important that you don ‘ t justify your person ‘ s behaviors. The reality is is that a person who values someone makes time for them, isn ‘ t always making excuses and treats them like they are a priority.

Don ‘ t kid yourself if things are otherwise. You will regret it!

#2 – Don ‘ t lose yourself.

Many of us, particularly those of us who are being undervalued in a relationship, lose ourselves when we are involved with someone.

Those things that we used to do to make ourselves laugh, to make us feel good about ourselves, that made us feel loved and respected, those things get put to the side in our desire to commit ourselves to our relationship above all else.

A few years back, I was in a relationship with someone who didn ‘ t value me. When I met him, I was a single woman living very happily in NYC with my dog. I was running my own business and doing volunteer work that I loved. I respected myself.

Two years later, I was a shell of that person. Two years of being undervalued had made me believe that I really was worth nothing. And, as a result, standing up to him, standing up for myself, was almost impossible. I didn ‘ t value myself – how could I expect him to value me?

So, make sure that, whether your relationship is a healthy one or not, that you don ‘ t lose yourself to it. Keep your hobbies, your friends and your family in your life, focus on your career, take care of yourself. All of these things will keep you self-assured and aware that you deserve to be valued, no matter what, and you will feel more confident standing up for yourself!

#3 – Don ‘ t overcompensate.

Does this sound like you?

Does your person come home late and you still have dinner hot and ready for him?

Does your person not call for days and when she finally does, do you act like nothing is wrong?

Does he say unkind things to you and you just try to let them roll off your back?

Do you tiptoe around her, doing whatever you can to keep her happy so that she will love you?

If you do any of these things, you are overcompensating. You are doing all of the work in the relationship. You believe that if you only try hard enough, aren ‘ t difficult or demanding, flexible to whatever their whims are, then your person won ‘ t leave you.

Guess what – it just doesn ‘ t work!

As a matter of fact, if you work overtime to make your person happy, in spite of the way that they treat you, you are just making things worse. The more you overcompensate, the more likely they are to lose respect for you, which will only lead them to treating you worse.

So, if your person is treating you badly, don ‘ t bend over backwards to try to make them happy. If you stand up for yourself you are way more likely to get what you want – happiness and respect.

#4 – Don ‘ t stay for the wrong reasons.

I know that you aren ‘ t that happy in your relationship or you wouldn ‘ t be reading this article. So, I ask you – why are you staying?

Are you staying because of how happy you guys were in the beginning? Are you staying because you don ‘ t want to be alone? Are you staying because you have invested so much time? Are you staying because you don ‘ t want to start dating again? Are you staying because you ‘ ˜aren ‘ t a quitter? ‘ Are you staying because you are worried that you won ‘ t ever love or be loved again?

None of those reasons are a reason to stay in a relationship where someone doesn’t value you. The only reason to stay in this relationship is because you are happy. Don ‘ t stay in this relationship because you think your person can change. That, if you are nice enough, they will go back to the way things were in the beginning. Stay because you are happy with how things are right now.

And leave if you aren ‘ t!

Don ‘ t stay for the wrong reasons. It ‘ s a huge waste of time, time that you could be spending finding someone who will value you and love you forever.

#5 – Don ‘ t stick around.

The number one way to stand up to someone who doesn ‘ t value you is to walk away. Yes, walk away.

I know it seems easier said than done but if you can walk away from your person you will accomplish one of two things.

First, by walking away, by standing up for yourself, you could earn the respect of the person who has been treating you badly. There is nothing sexier than someone who advocates for themselves, who sees their own value.

Second, if you walk away from someone who doesn ‘ t value you, you will open yourself up to finding someone who does. The longer you stay in this relationship, the longer it will take you to be happy. If you stay in this relationship, as it is, with you being undervalued, your chances of being happy are greatly diminished!

So, be prepared to walk away if you can ‘ t get the respect you deserve!

If you need to stand up to someone who doesn ‘ t value you, do so soon!

Every moment that you waste being with someone who makes you unhappy is a wasted moment.

I know that you might think that he is your ‘ ˜soulmate ‘ but I can promise you that your soulmate would never treat you the way you have been treated!

So take steps NOW to make change – whatever change you need to do to set yourself up for a life full of happiness and love!
