Relationship Deal Breakers

Some things you should consider when trying to make a decision on whether or not to continue dating or having a relationship with someone who has different goals, values, health habits, drug habits, etc., but they won’t change or see things the same way you do.

In this video coaching newsletter, I discuss an email from a female viewer who has been dating her boyfriend off and on for about five years. She has left him four times and gone back five times. They are both in their mid-forties and when things are going well she is very happy. Their teenage kids from other relationships get along well and like each other, which is an added bonus. The big sticking point and reason she keeps leaving him is his drug habit. He hides his drugs from her and lies about having them, but she knows where to find them. His friends do the same drugs as well. She says they have so much potential, but his drug problem is a deal breaker. She asks my opinion.

“In all of your personal and professional relationships you have one fundamental decision to make about the way people are: “Can I accept them with all of their flaws, faults, shortcomings and idiosyncrasies instead of trying to change them or expecting them to change in the future?” People don’t change who they are. They may become a better version of themselves over time, but it’s not your job to fix them or make excuses for their bad habits such as drug or alcohol abuse, dishonesty, cheating or generally having low expectations and standards for themselves. You should date people for who they really are, not for their potential. Why? When you want reality or other people to be different than they really are, you will suffer. It’s hard to leave someone you truly love and care about when they simply can not live up to your expectations and values, but in the long run it’s always better to focus on finding someone who matches your ideal instead of trying to polish a turd.” ~ Coach Corey Wayne
