Life is to short to have burdens placed on you

Recently a lot of changes are coming about in my life, I am moving out to the far east for several years on work based assignments along with a requirement for a fun and more fulfilling life.

I went to dinner not long ago with a friend who recently split up with her boyfriend who was several years younger than her and clearly had an array of issues with intimacy, protection and abandonment issues. She was mentioning how he didn't like her going to large social gathering, festivals or anything which sounds like she would be exposed to many people. The fact which struck accord with me was that she was accepting of these flaws in him. Love can make you accepting of all kinds of things that you really shouldn't and with love comes blindness to a lot of essential facts of life... namely this one...

Life is short.

I say this a lot I know, but love breads contempt and contempt is something which can then create burdens on a relationship, and unneeded stresses. When someone starts to burden you with restrictions that are simply not needed, you should review the relationship and see if it is really worthy of your time. People can be unfair in life due to their own issues. And I am not saying bail at every opportunity, we should help are fellow man, but if they are being unfair and placing restrictions on you, please review the relationship with view to termination. Life is short.
