Pain is your nervous systems way of alerting you to a problem. When we feel pain, a normal response is to instantly turn away from whatever is causing the pain. Now, imagine if we applied that in relationships. Why don't we instantly turn away from painful relationships? We make excuses and endure the pain of a relationship all to the detriment of our health, livelihood and inner peace. We stay because we fear being alone. But, there's nothing lonelier than being in an unfulfilling relationship. We stay to prove a point and only end up proving that we should've let go a long time ago. We stay for a myriad of reasons other than happiness.
Holding onto a bad relationship is the equivalent of holding onto a scalding hot pot...Senseless!
