My personal lesson about one-way relationships: flee 1-way relationships

At some point, we all learn lessons from what turns out to be one-sided relationships. Takers leech from givers, ignoring/trampling extended love/effort. In other words, takers live off our life force. Therefore, givers lose out when they never gain anything from the relationship. That's why one-sided relationships are like black holes. That's also why God removes us at some point. One-sided relationships are dead-end streets that rob us of God's best. He sees what we can't, knows and understands what we don't. He loves us too much to leave us ignorant. Sometimes He lets us learn for ourselves when things are hopeless. God already knows what won't change, but He patiently awaits us to realize it. God already knows who can't be helped, which is why we must let Him lead us. Experience teaches us to warn others about hopeless people. We may still love someone, but sometimes true love must get tough. Tough love means cutting the apron strings and letting someone suffer from their own bad choices. Our futures become brighter when we leave hopeless situations behind, and move onto something far better. Better recognition now helps us avoid future disappointment. Givers, if anything sounds familiar, it's time to wise up. One-way relationships are dead-end streets leading us nowhere. At some point, our gut feelings tell us when something's hopeless. The more we fight it, the more it'll nag us until we finally learn how right that feeling really is. When something feels wrong, it probably is. It's OK to listen to that gut feeling; it's NOT in our heads. Not forcing the situation means leaving it behind even when we're reluctant. We must sometimes drop things to get God's best for our lives. Change can be hard, but God's patient enough to wait years if needed. We may not be able to imagine life without that taker, but they can obviously live without us. Takers can live off our life force without us knowing it. Prolonged exposure eventually drains us to the point of exhaustion. That's why we really should listen to those gut feelings which are God's Way of warning us. Those gut feelings are really that still small voice guiding us out of unprofitable, time wasting situations that have no future. God's plan for our lives involves others. However, if those He intended for a special purpose are unwilling, they can be replaced if God so chooses.
