When to let go

Often people get stuck in relationships and find it difficult to know when to let go and move on.

I wonder what it is about human beings that continue to hold on to relationships when they are past their sell by date. Friendships, lovers, family. It is as if we must tolerate and continue to make ourselves feel worse by keeping the relationship. We complain to anyone who will listen, but never do anything about it.

Of course an ideal situation would be to make it better if you can, but it takes two to make a relationship work or maybe even a whole family.

Letting go, learning from mistakes and moving on takes courage.
