When to Let It Go

Okay, so you know that song by Keyshia Coles, “Shoulda Let You Go”? I believe I am the poster child for that type of situation! It took me two years to finally get the hint that his ass just wasn’t for me. It came at a price, but you aren’t given anything you can’t handle. For me there was nothing tying us together so I was able to make a clean break. For some it doesn’t come as easy. Sometimes children are involved and if the parent that has custody is petty, then you’re in for a hell of a fight. Especially if you are the one who broke it off. If you live together, someone has to move out and let’s face it; rent isn’t exactly cheap unless you have some kind of assistance. So then you are stuck together in an emotionally cramped apartment.

So when do you realize it’s time to just go your separate ways?

1. ZERO communication. I’m not one for expressing my inner most thought. I am known to just ramble on aimlessly, but if you can’t talk to the person you say you love about what’s going on with you emotionally then that person is not for you. And if you have to fight for them to tell you anything then you are just wasting your time because if they aren’t talking to you now they sure as hell won’t be talking to you five years down the road.

2. Cheating. This should be #1 but why post the obvious first? LOL. If all you want to do is jump in and out of bed with the next chick or guy you think is hot then that person you’re with is not for you. Why take yourself through unnecessary drama if all you want to do is cheat, especially if you live in that emotionally cramped apartment.

3. Dreading the end or your work day. This is important, if you can’t stand going home to your partner, then maybe it’s time to re-evaluate the relationship. If o'clock hits and you’re looking for more work maybe you need to get out while you still have some sanity.

4. Dreading Sex. This could probably go under number 3. If you can’t stand having sex with them then this relationship is doomed. I don’t think an explanation is necessary here.

These are just a few of my favorite Shoulda Let You Go warning signs. Of course there are a 100 more but no one has time for that.
