Moment of Truth

Someone once said, ~Breakups aren't always meant for makeups, sometimes when a relationship ends it is time for you to wake up.~ Where is this relationship going? Without a doubt, it's a question that countless couples have faced or are facing as they came/come to a quintessential relationship crossroads that determined/determines the direction of two lives either mutually parting ways on possibly good terms or heading on the same path for a strong, worthwhile future together. For its seemingly an easy enough situation indeed to pose the question, but it can most definitely come incredibly complicated for the guy/girl or both to convey their thoughts, feelings, as well as emotions pertaining to where each other stand concerning the future.

If you think about it, nobody is ever really prepared to have "The Talk'' regarding how serious one is in being able to truly know if he/she/you are in it for the long haul, so to speak. True, a plethora of mixed emotions from nervous anxiety, anxiousness, absolute uncertainty to confused frustration can certainly be noticeable both verbally and nonverbally, making the conversation itself uncomfortably comfortable if that makes any sense at all. In any case, the moments leading up to a serious sit down in hopes of breaking through any barrier issues whatsoever can be downright frightening and rightfully so knowing it can lead to honestly opening up to the truth in which the bond is: 1.)severed entirely OR 2.)establishing a much stronger one.

As I said before, its seemingly an easy enough situation indeed to pose the question of where the relationship is going, but it can most definitely turn incredibly complicated for the guy/girl or both to convey their thoughts, feelings, as well as emotions pertaining to where each other stand concerning the future. Essentially, you have to be straightforwardly direct and speak from the heart instead of being too vague that you're just dancing around it, in a manner of speaking, therefore increasing the difficulty in trying to understand the message in what's trying to be shared. What it primarily comes down to, is being clear and concise, so much so you're not afraid to express the reality of where you want to be in terms of achieving hopes, goals, dreams, etc.

Let me ask this question to those who have gone through a mutual break up in the past or recently, at what point did you begin to notice the unwavering focus initially started out with begin to all intents and purposes blur causing the picture of a bright future together to gradually become totally unfocused. In other words, were there any warning signs that alerted you during the relationship revealing both of you aren't necessarily on the same page inevitably leading to a realization you didn't want to accept at first? Thinking about it further, a person can either ignore it completely knowing full well you're unable to see a life you've envisioned for yourself or make the decision to do what's best for a brighter future you see clear as day.

In retrospect, the ending of a relationship is like waking up and seeing certain truths revealed to you that you were able to see before it was too late. Unfortunately, there are men/women out there who haven't woken up to seeing the truth and are in a relationship that is going absolutely nowhere. Ultimately, a person can suddenly find himself/herself stuck metaphorically wandering aimlessly as if they're in a sense sleep walking within their own heart with someone who is doing the exact same thing. In the end, never ignore the warning signs of being in a "sleepwalking" relationship because it can be an absolute nightmare of an ordeal and when you finally get that sorely needed wake up call it's considered to be a moment of truth you're glad that you woke up from.
