Being with Your Husband – homework for today
✅ Pros:
- Shared history and memories – only of him spoiling every special occasion
- Companionship and emotional support (if present) – no companionship I did everything on my own, emotional support went only one way
- Financial stability or shared responsibilities – No and no
- Sense of security in a familiar environment – Never
- Social perception of being in a relationship – Always felt like I was on my own
❌ Cons:
- Emotional or psychological toll (if toxic or unfulfilling)
- Lack of personal freedom or independence
- Potential for continued patterns of manipulation or control
- Compromising your values or happiness for the sake of the relationship
- Walking on eggshells or feeling unsupported
Being Alone
✅ Pros:
- Absolute freedom to live life on your terms
- No emotional or mental manipulation
- Space to heal, grow, and rediscover yourself
- The ability to build relationships based on respect and love, not obligation
- Peace of mind, stability, and personal fulfillment
❌ Cons:
- Adjusting to solitude and occasional loneliness – not really quite use to it over the years
- Financial or practical challenges (if applicable) – managing
- Facing societal judgment or pressure to be in a relationship – not really
- Navigating responsibilities alone – use to that for many years
This exercise will likely bring a lot of clarity. If you want, you can weigh each point based on how much it impacts your life. The key takeaway is: Does staying in the relationship genuinely enhance your well-being, or is it holding you back from your true happiness and peace?
I think the answers say it all!!!
