Should I Stay Or Should I Go: The Price Of Love

In their more than 50 years together as husband and wife, Patricia’s husband cheater on her frequently but Patricia always forgave him. She admits that she turned a blind eye all these years just to save the relationship, and mostly because of her husband’s generosity.

But the time finally came when she really has to end the relationship once and for all. It became impossible for them to talk without getting into an argument. Therefore, two years ago, after catching her husband red-handed with one of their house cleaners, she put her foot down. Now she knew better, she really had to let go of the relationship.

It is in this kind of situation that one might ponder on the thought of holding on just to save the relationship. In most cases of problem on relationships, an individual would dare to think if he or she should let go or will it be better to stay and try to change things for the better.

At first, it becomes a matter of choice. It is a tough decision you have to make. But the choice to let go and leave the other person is such a heartbreaking experience that your heart seem to cry with such excruciating pain that no one would dare go for on an instant.

What is even worse is for the mothers or the fathers out there who would try to contemplate on hanging on for the sake of the children.

In reality, this part is greatly attributed for the mothers because according to the statistical reports of the census, nearly 85% of all the children that show signs of “behavioral disorders” come from “fatherless homes.” This goes to show that it is the father that is most likely to leave the home compared to the mother.

The Agony of Love

For any relationship between a man and a woman, it would be better if they will both make things work out. We cannot dismiss the fact that problems really do thrive in a relationship. In fact, it is the basic ingredient that would make the relationship stronger. 85% of successfully married couples for almost 20 years insisted that their quarrels have been the threshold to a long-lasting relationship.

The only problem with other couples is that they do not know how to deal with the problems easily. What is even worse is that the other person or both of them give up easily.

Some clinical psychologists that are expert on marital affairs asserted that there are three things that a couple should learn to make use of so that they will know whether or not the bond that unites them as one could still be revived.

Here are the three things that the couple should use in their evaluation:

1. Learn how to transform your mate so as to live a mutually harmonious life.

2. Learn to accept the feeling that even if you feel that there is any more between you and your partner, you really just cannot find it easy to leave and so it is better to find a way to save the relationship.

3. Learn to accept the truth if it was you who was you who was so irrational and that you should learn how to find ways to change it.

4. Without any other reason and priorities, learn to make things work out just for the children’s sake.

5. To accept the fact that even if there is nothing wrong with your mate, you just could not accept the fact that you are not contented and happy with him anymore.

These are just a few of the many things that the experts would want couples to deliberate so that they could find the answers themselves whether or not it is appropriate for them to leave or to stay.

The problem with some people, especially women, is that they ten to hold on to the fact that their husbands might change. That in spite of the abuses and the pain that they continuously experience, they still believe that there will be changes, even if they do not know exactly when that will be. For this, almost 50% of the reported abused women chose to stay with their husbands.

Given that premise, the question of “Should I stay or should I go?” is not merely a choice. It is a life, where your future will absolutely depend on your answers.

Indeed, nobody knows the answer better than you do. So take time to think things over and ponder hard on the consequences of your actions.

My Relationship Tips has hundreds of dating and relationship tips for men and women.

Leaving for a vacation means a whole lot of work like reviewing resorts, getting information on hotels and ofcourse getting hotel reservations on time. Getting hold of a reliable flight centre is important too Then working out smaller details like finding discount car rental services comes. A lot of sites are offering online insurance therefore that is another hassle taken care of.

Gaiam Ashtanga Videos - A Review

Sponsored Post

Gaiam Ashtanga Videos - A set of two Ashtanga videos by Gaiam staring acclaimed yoga instructor Nicki Doane.

I’ve been practicing yoga for about two years now. One of the most difficult things for me has been making it to the studio. Life’s been just a little bit crazy and even though I know how much better I feel after Yoga, I’ve still procrastinated. So I lucked out with the opportunity to review this product.

This is a two disk set that includes Introductory Poses (85 minutes) and Beginners Workout (100 minutes). This set is geared to the beginner and I had to remind myself to check my ego and approach this as a beginner would.

I started with the Introductory Poses disk. The disk covers the basics of Vinyasa poses, including sun salutations and instructs the fundamentals of Ujjayi Breathing.

I thought the poses were explained thoroughly by instructor Nicki Doane. She really emphasized the importance of using your breath as you move through salutations. I remembered that this seemed distracting at first but as I’ve grown through my practice I can attest that this is vital stuff.

I enjoyed the second disk better. The beginner’s workout has a reasonable pace and takes you though some of the most common poses in the practice. Beginners will find it challenging and exhilarating.

Overall I think this is a very good choice for the beginner or someone who would like to try yoga in the privacy of their home before joining a class. The beginner workout is a good disk to have on hand if you are someone like me who maybe is not making it to the studio as much as you ought to be.

My only criticism is that not enough modifications are offered or explained. One of the best things about yoga is that everyone can do it. You do not have to be super flexible. All poses have a modification or optional pose of some sort. But a big rule of yoga is to listen to your body and if you follow that, you will be great!

Busy Bees.

Was it me or was last week just totally disappointing across the board. Not just the stuff that happened with me, but some of my friends had a rough one as well. Just a lot of bad news, health issues and concerns for people I care about. Thank you to those who wrote to me last week. I'm always amazed at how some of the nicest people are also people I've never met. 

I have some projects that I must finish this week if I'm going on a camping/rafting trip next weekend. I feel like I might be in trouble because I failed to connect with my publisher... again. There are a bunch of events I need to attend next week, plus meetings. I'm not complaining. I like being busy. My clients are all busy too, everyone seems to be productive right now.

There is a possibility I'll be taking a little trip. It really depends on if I get those darn projects done.

More Later.

Ya'll my homies an we gon' kick it.

This is for someone who made me laugh this week when I didn't feel like laughing. He's probably seen it. But it's pretty funny.

Life is short

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I went to the funeral services this morning. I was not planning on going today. It was a sunrise service at 5AM in the foothills. It was freezing. The gas station coffee I grabbed on the way up tasted so foul, but made a good hand warmer.

It was hard to be "present" during the services. I was so cold. I'm going on a rafting trip next weekend and I started thinking about how not to be cold on the trip. I made a little list in my head of things I should buy and I considered whether I should stop at REI on the way home, wondering what time they opened. 

I was listening to the pastor speak and he talked about beginnings not endings. A little over a year ago my former coach and friend Jana died. Her death was the catalyst that changed my life. When she died it forced me to remember who I was and reflect on my life. After I gave up racing I stopped being me. I put away my skis and my ambition and decided to settle down. I think I was afraid. When Jana died, I was filled with new life.

It's not been easy. I have made difficult and unpopular choices. I've angered and upset people. As unstable as the ground may be, I believe I've made it back to path I should be on. And because of one very special and wonderful reason I wonder if maybe the little detour wasn't a detour at all.

On the drive back home. I got some good coffee this time and decided that there's been enough bad stuff this week. I'm switching gears.

Today was not good.

I let go of the relationship I had with my mother over a year ago. Things were hard on her when I was growing up. Our family had more then it's fair share of tragedies. She personally suffered loss after loss. I don't know if she just was incapable or if she just didn't know how to mother. It's not like she didn't have a good example because my grandmother is the best. She just never loved me I don't think.

Please, no violins. I hate being pittied. I grew up with that too. I have always carried hope with me and it's made me strong. It's the reason I am able to accomplish things that should be outside of my reach. Because I don't know how to not try. I believe in possibilities, I believe in people, and I do believe in myself.

But there are some days, like today, that make me wish I had a Mom.
