Can’t We Start Over Again?
“Can’t we start over again?”
Have you experienced saying these words to someone you love? It’s hard to say goodbye to the one we love. So we do all we can to save our relationships when it’s on the verge of breaking up. It doesn’t hurt so much to the one leaving, but to the one left behind, it’s painful. That’s why we do whatever we can to hold on, to work things out, to make everything right again.
In relationships, there will always be problems and hardships that couples have to experience in order to grow and test their love for each other. And when these problems occur, there’s always the risk of the relationship not being able to pull through, that’s why it results in a breakup. But there are relationships that are resilient and are able to recover from the blow, and as a result, the couple’s love for each other becomes stronger than ever. This takes a lot of effort and commitment on both parties to decide to work things out.
Petty fights and little misunderstandings are part of a normal relationship. But when big problems occur, like cheating, lying big time, family issues, etc., these are capable of ruining the relationship altogether. And after some time, taking into consideration all the hurt and pain that the problem caused, the couple can either decide to start over again or breakup for good.
In the case of a man wanting to leave because he’s had enough or no longer wants to be in the relationship, and the woman is still very much in love and refuses to accept the man’s decision, then she can probably ask for another chance, or ask if they can start all over again. But she has to be ready for the answer. This can work in some cases, but when the mind’s made up and the relationship is beyond repair, there’s no turning back.
Relationships are complicated in the sense that sometimes, it’s not always black and white. Feelings change, situations change, and most importantly, people change. Problems are just precursors, but ultimately, we are the ones who decide. It’s okay to ask for another chance, but after all is said and done, we have to respect our partner’s decision. Because we can’t force someone to feel a certain feeling just because we want them to. We have to be ready to hear the truth and accept it, no matter how difficult. Keep this in mind, the next time you find yourself asking, “Can’t We Start Over Again?”
Will you still hold on when he says “enough”?

your website is inspirational. i keep quotes of some in my wallet. i want the whole world to know. i love my friends, just so much and i’ll willingly do anything for them. but sometimes it seems as if we are getting better but then it gets worse again! i’ll forgive them instantly no matter what they do,or did. because they are my friends and i love them for the person they are. i’ll do anything. i want them to be happy. their happiness matters MOST! but that feeling of getting left behind really hurts. sometimes i really just want to walk up to them and give them one hug,look into their eyes and tell them. I love you and you mean so much to me, because you’re my friend, i trust you always. will you give me another chance?
i’ve hurt them, way way too much. but they did too. i’m not calculating. i hurt them more. but i really really care for and love them. and i not only lose 1 friend. i’m losing 3 and even 4 at once. the ones i always talk to, i can really be myself when i’m with them. now, i can’t be myself with anyone else. i just can’t. sorry. i just, somehow altho i don’t know you, you seem like someone i can talk to. haha. sorry. true friendships never end. what i have with them is true. i’ll be waiting. always. i love them.

Powerful entry! Yes, I will hold on… but not to any promise from any mortal being… no one can truly, truly be reliable here! God is the ultimate lover! He will never disappoint me. I had 2 major breakups before meeting my hubby now… and when we were together, we had 6 major break-ups in 6 years! Our relationship THEN was VERY disappointing and FRUSTRATING. But, God had a plan. We held on to the vision He placed in our hearts… and tada! Look where we are now?! Amazing hands of God! I say, let God write YOUR lovestory! Obey and have a blast!
