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.
