No relationship falls apart overnight, and infidelity isn’t an accident. Let’s be honest with ourselves.
Protect Your Heart
I despise cheating. I believe it’s more honorable to end a relationship than to be unfaithful. What do you think? I’m addressing this issue because many people are hurting and afraid of dating or marriage, wondering, “What if I end up with the wrong person?”
Some people may not want you in their lives but still don’t want you to leave. These individuals can be manipulative, keeping you around to belittle and hurt you, only to cheat in the end. Infidelity, where trust is broken through emotional or physical involvement with someone else, can cause immense emotional pain.
What if I told you there’s a way to guard your heart and avoid heartbreaks? But first, we must acknowledge that sometimes we contribute to our heartbreaks. We often ignore red flags and choose to be oblivious to the reality of our relationships.
Consider this: why would your partner hide calls or be unwilling to share their phone with you? If they are consistently unavailable without a good reason, could you be dating someone who’s already committed elsewhere? A sudden lack of communication or a significant change in how your partner talks to you can also be red flags. We often make excuses for these behaviors because we fear facing reality.
If you find yourself always apologizing, calling, texting, visiting, and making all the effort, you might be ignoring the signs that your relationship isn’t healthy. Recognizing these signs early can save you from prolonged pain. Many relationships end long before the final breakup; people just refuse to acknowledge it.
Avoiding issues in your relationship out of fear will only bring more heartache. It’s better to address problems head-on rather than postpone the inevitable. If a relationship isn’t right, it will eventually end, regardless of how long it lasts.
Here are some tips to protect your heart and avoid heartbreak:
1. Know Your Worth
Understand your identity and embrace it. You deserve respect and honesty in a relationship. Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Your relationship with God can also provide insights and prepare you for potential breakups.
4. Don’t Ignore Red Flags
If something feels off, address it early. Trust your instincts and don’t make excuses for bad behavior. Sensitive individuals often know when something is wrong long before the signs are apparent. It’s better to be single than in a wrong relationship.
5. Take Care of Yourself
Focus on your well-being. Engage in activities that make you happy and reduce stress. Looking good and feeling good can positively affect your relationship. Eat healthily, exercise, and take care of your appearance.
This advice is meant to help you guard your heart. Remember, a broken relationship doesn’t have to mean a broken heart if you prepare and stay aware. Marriage can be beautiful when you marry the right person.
