A man adds to fulfillment, not complete some puzzle. Change the attitude in relationships. Bossy, jealous, over-critical, insecure, or untrustworthy personalities never catch a good man because their attitude is hindering. Stop belittling, changing, punishing, or judge the man. Enjoy him for him. Practice self-forgiveness. Whatever happened in previous relationships should never affect new relationships. Regardless of who's to blame, forgive yourself for any wrongdoing. Allow yourself to accept responsibility for the relationship failing and vow to have an open mind in the new relationship. Proceed with caution when relationships are moving in a familiar pace. Think about where it led. If it isn't positive, slow or speed the pace. Communicate with the man to ensure the endgame won't repeat itself. Give the relationship a fighting chance to change course. If nothing is working, you must part ways. This is also true for familiar locations, attitude, and warning

The dynamics surrounding the decision to leave or stay, and possible consequences are very complex. There are various reasons victims may either opt to stay in an abusive relationship. Feelings of fear, shame, hopelessness, and the inability to provide for themselves are common factors. However, one of the primary reasons is some people do not realize they are victims. Quite often abusers can be very charismatic using apologies, affection, and promises to end the negative behavior to control their victims. Unfortunately, this tactic can create an emotional sense of conflict as the victim begins to reflect on the good times, while battling with the reality of the present. This type of behavior often predicates or serves as the prelude to the cycle of abuse theory, a component of the Battered Woman Syndrome; thus being the primary reason victims find it difficult to leave. In an article entitled “When Love Hurts” by Jill Cory and Karen McAndless –Davis, various facets and resulting impact of domestic violence are explored and correlated to BWS. In making the correlation between the cycle of abuse of and BWS, the cycle of abuse is the eighth component of the Battered Woman Syndrome (Fulero & Wrightsman, 2009) defined as a distinct pattern having three

While there is no such thing as a happily ever after, there is a cycle of stages that turned my relationship into a stronger connection. Our path taught us how to improve through the relationship stages reaching new levels of involvement and intimacy through difficult times. Others might see the dips of the roller coaster as reason to terminate rather than repair what they once had. True growth requires us to use the low points as a way to better appreciate the high points of our new reality. Continuing our relationship still today, we learn to cooperate through listening and receiving before responding in a harsh tone. Knapp’s cycle continues on a course headed towards repair or termination and John and I now work through our issues in a calm and rational way because learned through each difficult time.

Whatever the problem is within the relationship, if a desire to work things out is mutually apparent, there is hope. Ideally, these concepts should be understood, practiced and maintained throughout the relationship, but many of us may find ourselves slipping into a place that we had never expected, nor desired to be. There are relationships that last a lifetime with the power and spark just as strong as it was, if not stronger than in the beginning. We must learn how to understand and respect each other in deep and meaningful ways that encompass all aspects of our humanity, that is, should be desire happiness, satisfaction and content. We want companionship and we want happiness; how do we satisfy these two desires simultaneously? They were installed in our make up to work together, for one to be the means to the other.

I needed to do better or else everyone would run away from me. I started participating in the practices of love. I started off by complimenting others on how they looked. Whenever I saw a friend of mine I would walk up to them with a smile and say ‘I adore your hair’, ‘I love your shoes!’ or ‘You look extremely beautiful today.’ Next, I began opening up to others about how why I was previously acting so bitter towards them. I told my best friend at the time about the relationship I was in. I was lucky to have such an understanding friend who still wanted to keep me in their life even after the way I acted. She respected that I was able to sit with her and talk after months of being distant from one another and I respected and appreciated that she took the time out of her day to see me. Displaying the practices of love did not only help fix broken relationships but practicing the practices of love also helped me find the type of love I should be accepted into my life.

I am more careful with how I treat others because I have an understanding of what the practices of love are. I look for the signs to avoid toxic relationships, whether it is friendship, romantic, or even

Love, in this way, can be a hugely unsatisfying because our expectations for it can be contradictory in nature and sometimes unrealistic.

The first step to ending a relationship is realizing it is going nowhere. Realization is the most important step.
