During my courtship with Iggy I learned many fascinating facts, & he has taken me to an even higher intellectual level. Most of our conversations were interesting, some just drained me, & frankly some were just plain BORING.
Just like with any relationship, we had our ups & downs. At times, I grew angry because Iggy was demanding & expected things of me that were hard. I had to miss out on family activities, church responsibilities, personal time; all to suffice his demands. I was starting to wonder if this relationship was worth it.
The realization came to me today. The more I give the more I receive. Isn't that how all relationships work. The more we selflessly give, the more we are blessed. Today all my giving paid off. He rewarded me well for dedicating time to understanding his theories & evidence based practice. I thank him for taking the time to educate my mind, to show me ways to care for others & to help me be a better person.
Today is a sad day for he has left me. It was mutual. We decided we needed a break from each other. It's temporary, and he will be back in August. He has been deployed to my shelf in the family room. He felt it was best if I renewed my relationships with my family & friends. He's realized that he indeed he was very demanding & sees the stress that it's had on those around me. He is right; I have neglected them; plus he told me my house was a mess and it was time to put it back together.
I have mixed feelings about his departure today. I sit here lost at work tonight, not knowing how to live without him. He has been my constant companion.
