Like The W in WITS reminds me : every event is a piece in a mosaic and when you step back and see the bigger picture (and it makes sense) you have that "O" moment. And personally I believe the mosaic is a piece of an even BIGGER mosaic.
Anyway ... so here's another piece towards my mosaic.
Relationships - when one mentions it almost imediately think male/female type.
How about Abusive relationship ? Same picture ?
But today I realised that relationships can be abusive in any connection.
I know a guy and he is so committed to his relationship ( for better or worse, in sickness or in health, richer or poorer .. as long as we both shall live) with his JOB !
For years I have watched his "partner" abuse him, mistreat him, be rude to him and like any abusive relationship - apologise and promise that it would NEVER happen again, buy gifts and other "bribes" to keep him.
Today I believe he has reached his limit ! Algamdulillah.
Having a granny who went through this, we were brought up with her reminding us to be independent, to be strong - to walk away!
No person deserves to be treated so disrespectfully be it a spouse, a parent, a child or co-worker!
SMILE and stop abusive beahviour towards others. Your actions affect those around you !

Reading this reminds me of someone i know quite well and her inability to walk away from a toxic relationship ...
Why do ppl do that to themselves ? Do they have low self-esteem ?
I cannot speak for everyone, but certainly for my friend there is the irrational fear of being alone and that ridiculous notion of 'I would rather be in this situation and be happy sometimes than be without the companionship of anyone at all'. It sickens me and makes me so angry because I cannot fathom that mentality or identify in any way with having such a low opinion of oneself.
OMW!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS !?
i spoke to my friend - he has that typical "It's also MY fault" attitude!!! ANd said "partner" said please don't leave - so he said" I don't actually want to !!!! ""
That's it - I have had ENOUGH !!!
I can't handle when ppl moan about their lives but do NOTHING to fix it except moan some more !!!
You know what? Ive taken that very stance. I dont ask any more questions and I offer no more advice ... because frankly Im wasting my breath. I already know that people are suckers for punishment and now I also know that they actually LIKE wallowing in their own misery!!!
