No one can see their reflection in running water.   It is only in still water we can see. - The Wisdom of the Taoists

Divorce or separation following a long-term relationship creates many feelings. One of the strongest is "something is wrong with me."  If your mate becomes involved with another person or gives what you consider an unacceptable reason for moving beyond the relationship, the feelings of inadequacy deepen.  Why?  What did I do?  How could you do this to me?  Somewhere in the process you lost sight of the fact that people have a right to change their minds.  You may not want them to do it.  You probably won't like it when it happens.  But people have a right to change their minds and it has absolutely nothing to do with you.  Time marches on.  People change.  As people change, their needs change.  When people have a need, it is their responsibility to themselves to see their needs are met.  And it has absolutely nothing to do with you.

- Iyanla Vanzant

There is nothing wrong with me.
