Relationships: High Threat Alert by Nancy Collins

Relationships

How long are you going to keep making empty threats in your relationship?  Every time you catch him cheating, you threaten to leave.  Every time he doesn’t show you affection, you threaten to find someone who will give you what you need.  Each and every time he places his friends, career, and other family members in front of you, you threaten to stop caring for him.  When are you going to make good, on those threats that you issue every month?

 You’ve made so many threats about so many things; until your man no longer takes you serious.  How many times have you caught him cheating, yet you’re still with him?  You fuss, cuss, throw things (including a tantrum), play the quiet game, but you’re still with him.  The make-up sex is great, but what happens after that?  Now, I’m not advocating for you to just walk out, and leave the love of your life behind.

 However, I am wondering how much longer are you going to allow the “love of your life” to walk all over your heart?  It would be wonderful if mutual respect was given, but looking at your situation can you honestly say that it is mutual respect?  Respect is on the scene when honoring another person takes first place rather than being concerned about themselves.

 Does your lover respect you?  Does that person place your needs above his own?  Are your feelings honored in the relationship?  Can you fully trust him when he says that he’s going down the street to the store?  If you find yourself answering no to those few questions then you might want to consider honoring your threats. 

 Stop complaining month after month, week after week, and day after day.  Do something about it.  Something that (of course) won’t land you in jail or put others in harm’s way.  Yet something to let him know that you mean business.  When you are constantly talking about what you’re going to do. Yet never follow through; it leads the significant other to think that you’re weak.  That they can do whatever he or she wants and you’ll just tolerate it.  They think it because it’s the truth!  You complain but do nothing to fix it. 

 The realities is this either make good on your threats or knows about the upsetting situations and say nothing about it.  In other words, if you’re not going to walk away from the relationship then you might as well; not say anything and live your best life – in a way that you can. 

 Please note:  This article is not to promote any form of relationship abuse, but to point out your two options. Plus when you finalize on a decision, it reduces the stress on your heart, which will increase your chances of having good health. 

So stop making empty threats, and do something about it.  Whether it’s to leave, or stay (with a closed mouth), just make a choice today.
