Buddhism & Relationships
In a relationship,
It is demanding to constantly seek your partner’s approval,
Such relationships are bereft of real caring,
Depth or even love,
For those of you who find yourselves in relationships,
Where you you are not treated the way your heart says you should be,
I hope you will have the courage and dignity to decide that you are better off risking the scorn of your partner than enduring unhappiness with them.
