Another insightful and right on time Nedra Nugget. The question you asked was How do you know a relationship was intended to be short lived? In a recent encounter, I was left with a strong sense that the interaction had completed its natural life cycle. There was no attempt on either of our parts to prolong the relationship. The difference in this situation is that I listened and accepted the reality. Nothing was wrong. No negativity. In thinking about this past encounter, it was refreshing.

You're a wonderful writer, Nedra! This topic deserves a good sit-down-and-think session. I appreciate the prompts. Michelle Obama said to Oprah, "Some people won't make the climb with you - they'll run out of oxygen." [Quoting from my alleged memory here.] This is so true. Some relationships are only for a season. We need to know our deal-breakers and be true to ourselves. Besides, we're in a relationship with ourselves, too. Thank you for this thoughtful article and the way you laid it out.
