Given there are no money, health or loneliness issues, would YOU still want to be with your partner?

It's easy to fall into the victim role. We feel good when we pity ourselves, we feel the warmth goes through our body, we sense that there is someone who cares about us, someone we can refer to, our savor.

But it's not true. No one but ourselves can rescue us from a bad situation, like an abusive relationship. No grand angel will knock on our front door and say: "John, I command you to leave Lisa". Indeed, we may receive assistance, a wise observation from a close friend, but ultimately the decision to stay or leave is in our hands.

Many people lack tools to make a decision and instead prefer to remain in a stuck and unhealthy situation. The unknown is frightening. The problem is that we are living in new times. The fence-sitters are requested to take a stand.

The master wisdom above will help you to evaluate the relationship you are in.
