Then another week… now you are thinking you have all this back pay coming to you and the bills are coming in and you know you should leave but what about all the work you haven’t gotten paid for? Eventually you would have to leave unless money is no object for you at all.

With relationships people do the same thing, put in there 100% waiting for the payoff of the relationship to become what they want it to be. Let’s say it is commitment, and you keep waiting, getting an excuse, yet you hang in there, and time is going by without a payoff. Exactly WHEN do you cut your losses and quit?

Many people feel if they quit they then lose everything they invested in the relationship. That way be true, but if you look at your relationship like a stock that you paid a lot of money for yet it went down to zero, is it really worth hanging on to a stock that is worthless? Yes you have 500 shares, but they are worth NOTHING. Some won’t let go of their relationship because they keep focusing on the payoff at the end.

Is it worth all the trouble if you are not being “paid” NOW? If you are in a relationship that has not been paying off, it is time for you to assess what you are putting in, what you are getting out of it other than aggravation and heartache, and if it is worth it to continue, or cut your losses.
