Hello, @ehiboss
I agree with you on certain things.
- That people should date for a reasonable length of time so they'll be sure this is who I want to spend life with.
- That relationships will always have tough times and we must persevere.
- That the word love shouldn't be used flippantly, it's become so hackneyed, it's lost its meaning.
E. T. C.
But,
There are times when you just can't deal, and this goes for both sexes. You can't die just because you are in a relationship or marriage, especially if it's abuse. I know of a couple that have been dating for a year now, and suddenly the guy became publicly abusive.
He choked her in front of us, her friends. No one deserves that. He begged, blamed the devil and even talked about suicide, but there's no fixing some people. Sometimes you just have to... dare I say it... Let it go.
All in all, everyone needs to love and to be loved wholeheartedly and unconditionally, but let your head weigh in too.
Thank you.
Of course, I said in my article that once abuse enters, the rules change (not in those exact words)
