It’s strange how we hurt others by leaving them, only to let ourselves get hurt. But it’s stranger how we let others hurt us when we can easily get out of the situation and free ourselves from the devastation they could bring us.

Situations like these really happen. Someone leaves an old flame for a new one feeling dissatisfied with what he/she has. But then sometimes things turn out differently like getting hurt by the new flame he’s/she’s with. But what’s strange is how one tolerates the pain he/she receives.

I think it’s because we are naturally inclined to challenges. We sometimes hear people complain about how insensitive their partners are and that how they are mistreated but still keep the relationship. Challenge could be one of the reasons although no one will admit it and no one will think of it that way.

One is challenged to keep a relationship because:

- He/she believes that he/she has the ability to change one’s heart,
- He/she would like to believe that they need time to grow together and in time things will be all right,
- Unconsciously, one loves playing the role of a martyr,
- He/she believes enduring pain will lead to happiness even though it seems never ending,
- He/she thinks that he/she is really in love to be able to endure such pain,
- He/she realized that he/she left someone worth keeping for someone who, he/she thinks, is less but wants to prove everybody wrong and do everything to make the relationship look healthy.

Pain can sometimes be tolerable but we must be aware when to end it. Sometimes we become so blinded of the things we used to think that our significant other could give us that we always look forward to those things ignoring the real situation or state of the relationship. Some relationships are worth keeping or worth saving but if they are not doing any good to us, we should be prepared to take the challenge of losing that flame or else, that same flame will burn us and will leave nothing but ashes of regrets.
