Lets face it relationships are hard. They take love, dedication and so much effort and that’s for a lifetime, not just when it’s convenient. Every single day you have to choose if this is something you want to continue to work for.
Sometimes it is in the best interest to just walk away for the sole purpose of saving your soul. While sometimes it has nothing to do with lack of love, but simply fails due to bad timing.
So these days, it is so common for couples to go their separate ways. It doesn’t really seem to matter anymore whether you have been dating for a few weeks or married for 10+ years. More and more people are realizing that they are allowed to walk away.
But, can you imagine having a life long tie with your ex? I know some of you know just what that’s like and I give you mad props.
I think I can calmly talk to maybe two of my exes without wanting to run into traffic. So the thought of having to communicate with one of them forever makes me cringe.
Honestly I don’t think it would be possible. So for those of you who are lucky enough to experience this and make the best of it… Good for you!
When you have a child with someone, that changes the whole dynamic of not only your relationship but of your life. You are now responsible for another life, whether you planned it or not.
So I just wanted to do a shout out to all of those parents who are making it work for the sake of your child. But don’t get confused when I say, “making it work”.
I am not necessarily just referring to the parents who are still trying to stay together for the sake of their child. But also to those who knew it was time to walk away and parent together, but separately.
Your children will someday grow up thanking you! Thanking you for making the best of a crappy situation. They will appreciate you so much for giving them a family regardless if it’s broken or together.
As long as they know that together the both of you will do what is necessary to give them all they need, it won’t matter if you are together or apart.
If they get to love both of you without feeling like they have to choose between the two of you, it will be enough.
So continue pushing forward because you are doing great despite what you may think!
