When do you stop loving someone? When do you hurt so much that you say "enough is enough"? Or perhaps you don't say that and cope on your own. What is unconditional love?
I think I have to put a disclaimer here.... I am talking about relationships that by and large are 'normal' in the conventional sense of the word.
If you are in an abusive, physical and emotional tormenting relationship, I have one thing to say to you -
"GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE!!!"
You can still love that person at a distance, without getting yourself killed, or pushed over the edge or killing that person He / she is not worth Your death penalty.
OK, that done let me get back to my question
When do you stop loving someone?
The parent who never stops criticising you despite your achievements; The child who tests your authority, or does the opposite of everything you teach and stand for; The spouse who cheats on you...
When things happen, and situations occur, You can get so hurt so angry so frustrated
Perhaps the first thing you might say is "Not again! When will this end?!"
You might wonder if you have the strength to carry on loving, caring and sooth over the wounds.
But you do.
You cry, you might rant and rave, might even scream and shout and tell the person what an idiot he or she is
But you never stop loving You give another chance, Try other means to help steer your loved ones back on track Support them every small tiny step of the way
a lover, a spouse, a child.
Knowing that Just round the corner, they may yet again fall...
I remind myself that when they fall, They are the ones who get hurt although I too, feel the hurt, the anguish, the pain
If, as in my case, my spouse did leave and continue on another path he chose with another woman
I still 'love' him now as a person who had shared a big part of my life.
The father of my children. His cries and hurts if any, are now not for me to share and carry that's ok.
For my parents I remember the heartaches I gave them as a youth and the support they gave me and is still giving me now.
So a few criticisms here and there, I listen, I glean, I take with a pinch of salt and a smile, To thank God that, I still have my parents around to nag me =)
For my children Well, Will you ever give up on your children? Will you ever Stop loving them?
