Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Judy, Thanks so much for your reply. This is pretty much exactly the situation I am facing and my inability to make a decision is driving me crazy! I'm really thrashing around with this. I will certainly keep tapping!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Jo, Here's some of what I did in getting over my failed relationship. Try it for yourself. 1. Although I am angry with myself for (staying) (putting up with what I don't want) (wasting my precious time) (wasting my life) (letting other opportunities pass me by), etc., I deeply .... 2. Although I don't think this relationship will work ... 3. Although I am scared to start again ... 4. Although I'm angry that I have to start again ... Then, I did some choice work. I choose to be OK with what happens; I choose to look at new opportunities, etc. I also started to daydream and think about all the things I WANTED!! and would love to have in a new relationship -- I encourage you to do this. You'll walk around with the boggest grin on your face. People will start to ask you what's up and, by the way, my smile has even started attracting new and interesting strangers to me. I am just starting now to actively look at how this relationship was like my others that failed and how, in certain ways, it echoes the not so good relationship with my father. I will be working on this in the days ahead. Good luck. And, if you need any help, just e-mail me.

Maybe tap on those, see what happens, if more comes to the surface. Maybe you have already talked till you're blue about change or compromise and it doesn't get better? I do not believe that romantic relationships are so important, if they are holding us back, and we have asked for change and it hasn't happened after much asking, that the decision to leave should be that difficult. If this person wants you in their life, they must be willing to make real steps to change those things that are making you want to go. And the steps must be concrete or the behavior returns. Maybe he should be tapping too, on those unbearable characteristics THAT he must be willing to admit and take responsibility for. Unless you're just deeply bored and have a gut feeling that he is not one for you..then, you know. But, financial reasons are bad reasons to stay, so are ideas that you won't ever find someone else to love you. And loving him is a bad reason to stay if you have no evidence/little evidence that he returns your love. Does he treat you well and make you feel good about yourself and compliment your goals? Do you feel free to be the best you can be? Does he give you a sense of freedom, period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hi jdkristina, You gave me a lot to think about! I have indeed identified some of the aspects that make me unhappy and am working through them. There's not much chance of him tapping, though - he doesn't share my interest in anything " alternative " !! I guess you may be right, I do have a gut feeling that it isn't right but, when I approach the idea of leaving, many many fears come up (interestingly, financial reasons are very low down the list) - these are on my list of things to tap for! I think I have a lot of aspects to work on here, but am quite excited at the thought of applying EFT - I have nothing to lose! Thank you for your reply and for taking an interest. all the best, Jo --- jdkristina <kristinac2539@...> wrote: --------------------------------- > Hi Judy, > > Thanks so much for your reply.
