You Have The Right To Be Consulted On Decisions That Affect You!

So many times, fights and disagreements in a relationship usually stem from one partner believing that they are the dominant force in the relationship and as such can make decisions for both of them without consulting the other partner or taking their opinions and concerns into consideration.

 

For partners who live together, they usually consider themselves highly committed and as such share finances, bills and other major decisions about big lifestyle questions if and when they should arise and usually it should be with the input of both/all partners.

 

The Right To Be Consulted On Important Decisions!

Even if it is primarily your partner’s decision to make concerning the course/path of your lives and future together, like whether to stay in their current job or look for a new one, they owe it to you to bring you into a discussion about how this will affect you both before handing in their notice or resignation.

It doesn’t matter whether you live far away from each other like in the long distance relationships or whether your job or your partner’s job is too demanding to give time for a discussion, they still owe it to you to have the discussion so that you can both make the necessary decision for your future together.

Even if you have both agreed that one partner will make some major or all the decisions about your future in a certain area, you still have the right to renegotiate that agreement if you want to be more involved, especially since your life and future and those of any kid or kids you have come into it as well.

Together You Stand And Divided You Fall!

In less entwined or romantically involved relationships, you should still each have the same level of independence and accountability about decisions you make together as a team each contributing in equal measure to the success and long term goal and success of the relationship.

If your partner can take a two-week vacation alone without telling you and then gets mad when you plan a weekend away all by yourself too and without your partner’s consent and prior knowledge then that’s a bad sign.

A really bad sign!

You Have The Right To End A Relationship That Isn’t Making You Happy!

How many people would dare to face themselves and be honest with themselves about the truth of their relationship and decide to end it themselves when they feel it doesn’t serve them or in their best interest.

Most relationships have their rough patches and edges, and it’s generally a great idea to work on conflict management, resolution, compromise and flexibility together as one or as a team.

The Right To End A Relationship!

But at the end of the day, if your relationship isn’t making you happy, you have every right to end it and move to better or a better one that serves your best interest.

You don’t need a big reason or excuse thayou aren’t good enough especially for someone else, as long as you are enough and good enough for yourself then that’s all that matters.

 

It’s all about you and your happiness!

 

If your lives are deeply intertwined especially if you have children or if your partner is dependent on you for all their needs and sustenance, the transition may then be complicated and you may need to maintain status quo or stay in that relationship at least for a while you try to resolve these issues.

But you always have the right to decide not to be romantically or sexually involved with your partner, spouse or mate anymore and you don’t have to answer to anyone about your choices and decisions nor explain your reasons.

Standing up for all of these rights does not make you unreasonable, demanding, or too picky or too bossy, it just means you have taken over the wheels of your life and are driving your life yourself.

Your choices and decisions are no longer on automatic or auto-pilot but you are consciously making these choices and decisions and are taking and have accepted responsibility for your life and reality

If there is anyone telling you differently then it’s not your business to bother about them as they probably have some internalized some pretty crappy messages about what women are worth and that’s where they are at the moment.

You deserve all these things as a bare minimum in your relationship!

 

Build A Healthy Relationship By Standing Up For Your Rights!

If you realize or are just realizing that you have let some of these rights that are fundamental for your happiness and well-being get overridden in your relationships, please don’t blame yourself.

Standing up for yourself in your relationship can be really hard and most times takes a lot of practice and more practice to stay abreast of it all.

You are always working on it and it is always a work in progress and you couldn’t do it without the help of supportive friends, family and possibly your friendly therapist and ally to show the way and guide you appropriately.

Reading lots of books and articles and getting help on self-empowerment is crucial on your journey to mastering yourself and creating your happiness for yourself in your relationship.

Talking with a counselor or a therapist as you deem fit, and getting perspective from friends who are good at standing up for their own needs and who can help you by guiding you on your own journey so that you can do the same for yourself are all good ways to develop this skill.

So by expanding and taking charge, you become aware of the serenity and truth of life and what it really is.

Then you and your partner can continue your connection in light and love through the great source of all life that has brought you too together to learn to give and receive love and to help each other become the best versions of yourself.

I would love to hear from you or your thoughts on this post, please drop us a line.

Taking responsibility and recognizing that we cause all of our core issues is not a reality for most people.

Taking responsibility to see life differently without justification, judgement and blame, rejection or anxiety, fear or anger would really help you in the long run.

Every condition, disease or disorder is a spiritual condition that has come up for review and to be dealt with and taken care of. Once the lesson is truly learnt and absorbed, the conditions or situation reverses itself and clears out and that’s when we say a healing has occurred and a miracle has happened.

Every problem preludes a negative thought and mindset so watch your thoughts and emotions carefully and guard them jealously.

Nothing can stop you if you have the courage, commitment and the discipline to move through your limitations.

‘Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love’

The purpose of life is to discover who you really are, know and create yourself and experience yourself as who you really are (not the body that houses you) as a part of the divine source to give and receive love and serve all creatures of the divine.

As long as you don’t or you refuse to see yourself as a victim then life becomes a challenge that you can overcome with commitment and consistent work and it will pay you back handsomely.

A lesson you avoided in a past life will be forwarded to the current life until you get the lesson right or understood the reason for it. Each time the lesson is more intense, than the last experience until you recognize it.

This is an interactive universe where we all work together in each other’s lessons and life whether we want it or not or whether we are aware of it or not.

Our fears always surface when we least expect it and when it does, its better to face the lesson and conquer it.

You can take back control of your life and drive it the way you would rather want it to be and have things and have things the way you want it to be.

It takes taking responsibility for all the wrongs that have happened in your life because whether you agree or not, you are held responsible for all your:

1. THOUGHTS

2. WORDS

3. ACTION

Nobody wants to listen to your cry of wolf or denial or victim mentality and it won’t take you far except you sit still, take stock of your life and determine and desire to turn it around and that’s where and when the answers or solutions come in.

If and when you are now truly ready to take back control and look out for the patterns and lessons in your life to understand the mind aberrations that are causing your problems and have taken control of your life.

That’s when the creative centers open within and you can finally have the tools to help you change the course of your life and manifest your destiny.

To succeed in life, you must refuse to see yourself as a loser no matter what the prevailing situation or condition might be and you evaluate what you can do to succeed.

The most important qualities are self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence and that you understand that you are entitled to abundance in your life.

You can do anything you want to and be anything you want to, provided you believe that it is possible.

Victims do not hold that belief!

So ask yourself – are you a victim?

Sometimes a little help from a Therapist or Mental Health Consultant like myself and a host of others can help guide you on this journey into an amazing life that is yours and yours only.
