Enough is Enough!...?

"One minute he's all over me and the next minute he's pushing me away and I just can't believe this is happening again. When it comes to relationships, how do you know when enough is enough?" {Carrie, Sex and the City, Season 2, Episode 24 "La Douleur Exquise!"}

Women do it over and over again. Even some men take their women back again and again when they know they are just prolonging the inevitable break-up. Even though your partner has broken up with you a million times over, when s/he comes back, you accept them back into your lives. What about when you know (or even have a feeling) s/he is doing you dirty? Why do you stay there taking it? How much pain and suffering can someone endure? How often should you take him/her back, when in the back of your mind you think you may break up again? Does this negatively affect your relationship? Does your heart become cold to that person? What ever happened to the “there are plenty of fish in the sea philosophy”?

Ashanti’s song "Foolish" is a great example of what some people feel inside when they keep falling into this type of relationship trap. “See my days are cold without you, but I’m hurting while I’m with you. And though my heart can’t take no more, I keep on running back to you.” Is it just because you are so used to being with that person? Is it a need to have someone by your side or is it truly a need to have that particular person by your side? Why are so many people ready to settle and continue being unhappy in a toxic relationship, when they could take a step back and wait for their true happiness?
