I have struggled for awhile now whether to stay in a relationship or to move on. One reason being that I know that I can be pretty demanding and very picky. So, I tried to suppress some of the things that I really wanted in a relationship and life but I still felt like I was selling myself short. I also felt like I was trying to change him. However, we are who we are and we should not require people to change just to make us happy. A relationship is about accepting a person for who they are. You have to decide if you are willing to live with that person for who they are. If you feel like you can't, then maybe that person wasn't meant for you in the first place. Sometimes, I fear that I may never get married because of my strong personality. Sometimes, I feel like my pickiness will get in the way. However, I have come to the conclusion that I would rather be single than to settle for a situation that I am not really happy in. I would never forgive myself for not being patient and allowing God to send the right person into my life.
I'm really not one to share such details of my life, but I know that there are other women out there struggling with the same issue. It doesn't mean that you are selfish if you want more for your life. It really takes a strong person to walk away and wait on what they really want in life. Most importantly, you can't make decisions based on feelings alone. You really have to trust God that he knows what is best for you. Deep down inside I believe that this is what God wants me to do. This isn't easy but I have peace with the decision that I have made.
