Your life will provide you with enough opportunities to learn, understand, and let go - WHEN you do each step is your choice.

Dealing With and Overcoming Bad Relationships
The real problem with bad relationships is not that we have them because, unfortunately, most people do. The real problem of bad relationships is the amount of time we remain in the relationship when we knew long ago that we should have left and the continuing amount of time we allow ourselves to be emotionally in prison for something that was not worthwhile to begin with. This is not isolated to just women or just men. If it is isolated to any specific group, it is human beings. We all deal with the same things, although at the time we feel like we are the only person in the world to feel the type of pain and emptiness that we feel. There are endless number of tips and techniques that people offer in dealing getting over relationships and I am sure there is a time and a place for them all. There is no one thing that will make it any easier, so I would say understanding that is the first step. Although there is not one quick and easy fix, there are things that I think work better than others.

Yours, Mine, and Our Emotional Needs - The Marriage Makers and Breakers
A common theme in my articles, on my website, and in my coaching practice is on needs. For our purposes we define a need as a condition requiring relief.
