You dont want to desert the people who youve grown attached to over time.
You dont want to hurt their feelings by leaving them in the dust.
You feel like you owe it to them to stay by their side, regardless of their attitude.

Leaving isnt even an option in your mind.
You love them, so of course youre going to stay with them.
Of course youre going to let their bad behavior slide.
But despite what romance movies tell you, your love shouldnt actually be unconditional.
Youre allowed to ask yourself whether keeping them around is actually healthy for you.
Even though its hard for you to separatelovefromlike, its entirely possible to love someone whos bad for you.
you’re able to love someone who you should never see again.
The problem with listening to your heart over your head is that your heart is biased.
When youve known someone for a long time, the last thing you want to do is walk away.
Youre distracted by how much you care about them.
Your first instinct is to defend this other person because you know theyre a good person.
But being a good person doesnt mean theyre good for you.
Just like being good for you in the past doesnt mean theyre good for you in the present.
Relationships evolve and devolve.
Meanwhile, your head is usually thinking more about the long-term.
You would rather pretend everything is fine today and deal with the problem another day.
But your head knows that sometimes the hardest decisions are the best decisions.
Beinglogicalisnt better than beingsentimental.
Its best to hear what your headandyour heartbothhave to say.
Listen to them both.
