[Where Possible] NEVER Reach The Last Straw of A Relationship

 [Where Possible] NEVER Reach The Last Straw of A Relationship

We heard this a zillion times "THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK" and some of us may have used these sayings without really thinking about their meaning.  True, as human beings, we have an amazing capacity to deal with and push through a host of struggles, challenges, setbacks, heartaches and even betrayals.  And many people are willing to endure even mistreatment and even abuse in order to 'preserve' and even maintain certain relationships WHETHER they be work, romantic, family OR friends.  YES dude, [Where Possible] NEVER Reach The Last Straw of A Relationship📗📙📘

Quite often, people know enough WHEN the treatment and behavior that they are allowing [condoning, to be frank] such unhealthy and problematic situations.  However, for a variety of different reasons, they tend to put up with such predicament [WHICH sometimes become recurring] UNTIL, knock on wood, they would [unfortunately] reach that so called 'FINAL STRAW'.  At that point, something occurs WHERE the individual mentally reaches a point WHERE they are NO longer willing to tolerate [and frankly, condone] that chronic so called 'mistreatment', if we may💥💥💥

Looking back, my observation is that sometimes, that 'FINAL STRAW' can seem somewhat innocuous.  And sometimes, the person[s] involved seem to take things in stride.  However, just like the seemingly insignificant piece of straw finally did the camel in because he/she could NOT take any more WHEN a person reaches their so called 'BREAKING POINT'.  BUT, lo and behold, WHAT explains as to WHY many WHO reach that 'BREAKING POINT' seem hopeless from salvaging the situation???

NOW, here's the thing.  Merely 'SALVAGING' a relationship may NOT lead to the kind of long-lasting change that transforms it.  The huge flaw when rescuing OR salvaging a relationship is that its focus is mostly on 'CONTAINING' the negatives between the two beleaguered partners.  I DON'T sound to be like an expert [because I'm NOT] BUT WHEN a couple is on the verge of separation, WHAT'S really needed is for them to fully grasp the deeper dynamics of their relational distress.  Only then and they themselves can pinpoint NOT only WHAT'S led their 'couplehood' to go awry BUT also HOW they need to recreate their relationship into something far more conducive to mutual contentment💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  WHILE we do grapple with zillions of problems in life, there are two things that could have reduced the probabilities of situations exacerbating.  Numero uno, some of us tend to ignore those tell-tale signs of a brewing disconnect that can widen before you knew it.  Numero dos, we tend to gloss over the THRESHOLDS in life.  In fact, sadly for some of us, 'THRESHOLDS' are NOT talking points OR they DON'T exist at all, NOT until things blow up right in their face.  Lesson?  WHERE POSSIBLE, NEVER REACH THE LAST STRAW OF A RELATIONSHIP❎❎❎
