Say Goodbye For Good
- SELF-VALUE/WORTH/CONFIDENCE
- SPOUSE/PARTNER/SIGNIFICANT OTHER
- LIFE DIRECTION/PURPOSE
DearJames,
After eight years in a relationship that seems to go nowhere with a guy who refuses to talk about important things and is not really listening to what I say, I need to leave and have a fresh start.
I’ve been trying to leave him for two years. But either I call him, or he calls me, and we start seeing each other again. He is not a bad guy. He is just so comfortable with his life and what I provide for him but refuses to give back. He always has an excuse for not being thoughtful or caring.
For the first years I believed him, because I wanted to believe. I wanted/needed to have a partner. But the relationship is going nowhere. And now I NEED SOME PEACE, QUIET, AND SELF-RESPECT, even if that means being alone.
How do I close the door? How do I say goodbye for good?
I Just Need Peace
Dear Say Goodbye For Good,
Much of what we do and say in life is controlled by our emotions.
They have a way of overriding our rational knowing and behavior, holding us in place well beyond when we should have moved on fully unencumbered. What this says about your situation is that you aren’t done learning this lesson.
Until you heed the truth of what you already know, you will continue to dip your toes into the never-ending pool of limitless familiarity, harm, and heartache, hoping for a different result, outcome. As Maya Angelou said, “People are always showing you who they are, believe them the first time.”
Universal Law is divine and neutral. It will always give you more of what you seek to experience. Only you can change the course you are navigating. Only you!
To move beyond someone, something or someplace for good, you must be willing to accept the truth, no matter how painful. Buried within the gift of pain is the gift of transcendence and renewal. It is only your ego-mind-personality and emotional attachments to this man, that are playing games with you. They tease and haunt you, reeling you back in over and over again because you’ve yet to learn the lessons of self-love, self-value, self-worth.
Fear of not being enough, of being alone, keeps you looping in the deep end of disappoint and despair with this “relationship.” When you finally reach your limit, you will leave once and for all. You will have finally come to the realization that the only person that you continue to harm by repeating this experience is yourself.
This man is happy to take and not give what you seek in return. Happy and content to mirror back to you what you need to learn most: self-worth, self-value, self-respect, self-love, etc. Place a self- in front of it and it is what you are meant to achieve yourself. He is simply playing his role brilliantly for you.
He has all these qualities, and yet he lacks commitment, love, vulnerability, self-value, self-worth, etc. You offer him these things and are rebuffed, used so-to-speak, consciously neglected, and dismissed…for a reason. You are each a mirror where the other is given the opportunity to transcend the lesson, not become it.
Love in its purest form is innocent, pure, untainted, limitless, tender, and empowering. It is the life force within All. What is lacking in this lifetime, or perhaps many lifetimes, is raised by your soul so you may heal and reconcile these fragmented aspects, restoring yourself to wholeness once again.
LOVE YOURSELF the way God and the Universe do. LOVE YOURSELF enough. LOVE YOURSELF more.
Achieve this by recognizing this experience and relationship for the GIFT THAT IT IS. A profound gift intended to teach you self-love, worth, and value. Commitment to a higher octave of yourself, one that never strays or betrays you. This is not the mistake or disappointment you have painted it to be, it simply represents heretofore the choices you have made. Choices based on a belief of not being worthy of more.
You will achieve PEACE, QUIET, and SELF-RESPECT when you earnestly choose it. You are WORTHY. So, go ahead…CHOOSE IT!!!
