Relationship of Debt
Posted on at
I was with a friend tonight who has been dating a woman for a while now. I asked him about her and here are the answers I received from him.
Q. Tell me about her
A: She is really annoying. She grinds her teeth and bites her nails.
Q. Umm is she really pretty?
A: No, she's not that cute.
Q: What do you like about her?
A: Not much.
Q: Why are you dating her?
A: She was there for me when I was in a bad place and helped get me out of it. Now I feel bad leaving her because she has been there for me.
I yelled at him and told him that it wasn't right to stay with someone for those reasons and that we discussed that he was digging himself into another hole and bad place by choosing to stay with her. He agreed but didn't know how to end it because he felt like he owed her.
I think it was great for this woman to be supportive to him when he needed someone but it's not fair to either of them to continue a relationship with each other when he doesn't have real feelings for her.
In some relationships people stay together because of what they have been through in the relationship instead of it being about true love. And as hard it may be for this woman if he decides to call things off...but in the end it will be better for them both that the relationship is built on love instead of a debt.
