What To Do When Someone Wades Out Of Your Life
No matter what anyone tells you, if someone walks away from your life, let him or her go. The space that has been created is just inviting someone else into it. The re not just leaving space for someone else to walk in. When someone decides to go, let them out. You can control a persons feelings both when they decide to leave and when they want to come back.
What if someone decides to walk away and no one is around to stop them? Stopping someone on their way is not the same as blocking them on their way. So long as you know how someone thinks and how you can manipulate their path so that they end up where you want them to go, then you will be able to know how to respond when someone walks out of your life. Here are some responses to a situation when someone walks out of your life:
When you receive a phone call from a friend and someone walks out of their life into your world. Your friend may have told you that the person "thought they were gone" and "made a decision." They may tell you that they feel like they're "gone" too and want to reenter your world. Be compassionate when someone tells you this. Don't judge the person. You don't know how they truly feel.
Let them go when they want to. If you don't allow someone into your world when they have made a decision to leave, then you are causing them to suffer by keeping them in your life. When someone decides to leave, they often do so because they believe that the person they have left will come back and take them back. That is often the most common reason why someone decides to leave. Allow them to go when they want to. They will regret not letting you know when they walked out.
When someone you love leaves you, don't assume that it is the end of the world. It is very common for people to get depressed when someone they love leaves them. Let them know that they are loved and miss you deeply when they let you know that they are sorry. It's natural for them to cry but don't make them feel guilty about it.
Try not to be judgmental. Don't yell or act hurtful. You are not trying to find fault in the person who has walked out. This can make them feel even worse so don't do it. People can tell when you are being judgmental and it will only cause someone to be hurt.
If the situation has gotten worse between the two of you, talk to each other. Explain what has happened and what you have done to make the person walk out of the relationship. Ask them how they are feeling and what they would like to do to fix the problem. If you have time, consider talking to another person that you trust before you tell the person that you have walked out.
If you have children together, try to talk to them about this. Make sure that they understand that it won't be easy to move on with their lives. The person may be hurting and that's OK. Talk to them about accepting this rather than wondering what it is going to be like to lose their partner.
Never leave them alone when someone walks out of your life. It can be devastating for them as well as for you. Do not attempt to make a relationship with them because they could be dangerous. If you have children together it's best if you do not get involved with anyone unless it is a matter of dire importance.
If you find that you are involved in a situation where there is abuse occurring do not remain silent. The abuse may continue or you may end up going further in the relationship than you intended. Do not continue to stay in a bad situation and risk hurting yourself or others. Seek help from an agency that specializes in these matters.
When someone walks out of your life, you need to determine how you will handle the situation. You can either get more help or you can deal with what you have without getting help. In the end, if you are able to remain strong and maintain your sense of self-worth, you can find happiness again and move forward in your life.
