"I found a quote that is usually my motto. "If something is broke, fix it, don't just throw it away". Problem is, it can't always be fixed. If you shatter a vase, it can't be fixed. If a vase is just cracked, it can still be fixed, with some work. Each lie in a relationship is a crack. In your case with *****, with every joke he made at your expense, the vase would crack. And it cracked until it shattered. But even when it shattered, he kept it up. He picked up the pieces and then broke them too. Problem is, you can't break what's already been broken. And while you may have tried to fix it in the early stages, nothing could stop it if he set out to shatter the vase from the very beginning."
The above paragraph was sent to me by my best friend Alexis earlier today. It really hit me like a bus... how accurate the analogy was. She simplified almost all failing relationships in just one paragraph, and I liked it. A lot. Figuring that it may help other people, I have decided to share it here along with some of my own thoughts. I completely agree with it: you can't just have ONE person putting effort into a relationship. Relationships- ANY relationships- are not a one-way street. It's give and take, and that's that. Because if only one person gives effort, then the whole thing is sure to fall apart... or, as said in the text, "shatter the vase". If a relationship isn't being supported on both ends, it's better to end it. It'll save a lot of pain and hurt feelings on both sides. That's all I have for today. Maddie
