We Can't Be Friends!

I came across the following quote on twitter today:

"If a relationship ends because the *person* wasn't treating you as you deserve then HELL NO you can't 'be friends! Friends don't mistreat friends." *This quote was edited because I feel that it fits both males and females*


Simple and to the point right? Well then why in the world do we keep allowing people to mistreat us? Why are we glutton for punishment? Let's be real, yes it is wrong for someone to take advantage of our feelings, kindness, love, etc... but aren't we to blame for allowing such things to occur when we attempt to leave friendship on the table? Some of us guard our possessions with more security than we do our hearts. And so there it lays, on the road for someone to run over repeatedly. Then when we finally run up on something or someone good we don't know how to treat it because we are holding on to some past hurts. CrAzY!!!!

Look people these are relationship fundamentals. And yes, I am ministering to myself on this one for sure! So how does the healing begin? Stop being naive. Don't expect an apology. Stop looking for closure. Don't be bitter. Let it go. Not all things require answers. While you are waiting in expectation for those things, life is surely passing you by.

Yes, it is and will be hard to let go. No one desires to be alone. God did not design us that way. He made Adam and then Eve in his likeness because he felt that Adam needed companionship. But I would rather be alone than continue to be in a toxic relationship.
