Sometimes people need to be apart, But if you separate without learning the lesson that the relationship is trying to teach you, then you'll have to face it again in the next relationship, and again in the one after that. When you can accept this man exactly as he is, without anger or resentment, without wanting to change him or punish him, without taking what he does or doesn't do personally, you will have deepened your soul and received the gift this relationship has been trying to give you.After you've learned the lesson the relationship has been trying to impart, you may find that whether you stay or leave hasn't been the real issue at all.
