Overtime people have trapped themselves in wrong relationships due to the following:
- I will change him/her
- Time is not by my side
- Low self esteem
- Lack of self-love
- Lack of setting boundaries
- Lack of emotional intelligence
- Lack of self-worth, value and confidence
- Fear of starting afresh
- Being too emotionally attached
Dear someone in love,
Trapping yourself in abusive relationship is not a virtue. You need to realize that your mental and emotional health is important. In a world of more than 6 billion people; I don’t see the reason why you must go and hook yourself in a place where you’re not wanted or valued.
You deserve better! Please, anytime you find yourself in an abusive relationship that has become so hard to let go despise all the red flags. Don’t hesitate to seek for help from a professional counsellor and go for emotional intelligence therapy too.
Your partner is not the last man/woman on earth, stop killing yourself on someone who doesn’t give a damn about you. If people can stay happily without you, discipline yourself to do same.
Yours always,
Malate Peter
