We’ve all done it.
We’ve drawn the line but failed to act on it. We have had those situations in life that
needed a clean cut/break yet we allowed them to linger. The painfully obvious and logical decision
was to turn and walk away yet we hung in there with some convoluted idea of letting
the other person down easy when all we were really doing was prolonging the
agony for both sides. It gets back to
the old deal of being afraid of hurting someone’s feelings; however, when we
drag things out, it does just that. It
drags things out for everyone involved.
If we really want to do the right thing, we need to move on
and allow the other side to do the same thing.
Whether it is a job, a friendship, a relationship, or a past
relationship, there just comes a time where the line has to be drawn and
everyone needs to move in another direction.
Nothing good comes out of dancing on either side of it. That’s not to say you may not revisit the
line, but there needs to be a period of downtime for all parties. Lines are another form a boundaries. Draw them, respect them, and learn to live
them. They are your friend.
