Is your relationship holding you back?
Whatever or whomever you are attached to, plays an integral role in your progression. Things and people are there to either give or take, and when someone takes a lot from you without giving back, that can stunt your growth.
How do you ensure your peace of mind in a relationship?
Suze:
If I see something threatening my peace of mind, I am ready to cut loose from it. I am not fearful to date until I find the one, even if it is a million men. I am simply not going to settle because I just want a man. I am the first to tell anyone to walk out if someone is holding you back from being the best you.
Keisha:
A relationship is supposed to lift you and enhance you, not drag you into a hole. I learned that the hard way when my family decided to call a family meeting to beg me to leave my ex-husband because I looked worse than ever since I had been with him. I had fainted a few times on my job because of his constant cheating and women popping up saying they were pregnant. No relationship is worth your sanity!
Shauna:
My ex-husband took my entire freedom from me. I wasn’t allowed to work, to have friends, or do what I loved doing – singing. He stifled my life and the day I ran literally for my life and ran back to Jamaica, I realised what I had been in. I recently started an online counselling portal for the abuse because a relationship that limits you is imprisonment.
Donna:
No relationship is supposed to hold you back even if it is a friendship. You are better off being single. Do not rush into a relationship because you are fearful of being single – you might regret it. If it is not uplifting you, learn to live without it.
Cindy:
My ex was always jealous of my progression. Whenever I got a promotion or a raise in my salary, he would get super upset with me. For a very long time I couldn’t understand why a man wouldn’t want to see his woman excelling.
