Have you...?

Do you ever get to a point in a rough patch where you don't know how you got there?  After all the hurt feelings and accusations, through all the silences and harsh words...do you ever wonder why you're fighting in the first place?

Have you ever stood back and wanted to not necessarily take words back (as they were honest and how you feel) but to still be able to hold the other person?  To let them know that you love them and that you're not just saying that to make it all go away?

Have you ever fought with yourself to be a better person and to work on what causes issues in a relationship, only to feel like you're the only one having to accommodate all the time?  What if the other person feels the same way?

What if your feelings don't matter and it's not about you?  What if you're looking at things from a skewed perspective?  Will any of it matter in 10 years?  5 years?  Next month?!  What if your reactions to the situation aren't as important as how your partner feels right now and what they are going through.

How do you truly be there for someone when you yourself need a shoulder to cry on?

    I wonder the same things sometimes. I guess you just love. Love unconditionally. And try your best everyday, that's all anyone can ask of you, or you of another person.

    I definitely agree with Erin. I'm the type person to do anything for someone I love, but it does get difficult when you, yourself are hurting or struggling too. If the situation calls for you to push aside your feelings in order to help those you love, try and that is all anyone can ask of you.
