I was listening to a faith based show on Faithtalk, Android App and on one of the many different shows, a lady was on there talking about healthy relationships and how to remain in a healthy relationship.
A key thing she said and alluded to was that firstly no person gets themselves into an unhealthy relationship from the very get go and that unhealthiness in the relationship develops. And to this she addressed; to me at least; the importance of knowing the 'danger signs' that the healthy relationship is going downward into unhealthiness.
Of course trying to stay and work out the agreed upon relationship is a Good thing and to get rid of this in the very early stages of the downward path is not a Good idea. But after many attempts and after many assertiveness, and even after many times of not having your 'needs'/requests met; the assertiveness needs to be reevaluated as well as the relationship.
If and when any other does not provide for your well being request(s); such as, 'please leave me alone for awhile', that relationship is beginning to become one sided. And this one sidedness is only keeping both in misery. This applies to any person/entity/establishment, etc. When any request of a 'need' is neglected for 'self' gain, that 'relationship' is not a Good one. If after asking the local Police to please stop harassing for no warranted 'reason' but the person is not 'honored' to his/her request for personal well being, 'please stop harassing for no warranted reason', then that relationship boundaries of keeping 'well being' is being breached. Same applies to Government. Same applies to family members. Same applies to any person/entity/establishment, etc.... To NOT provide for the others' OWN declaration of what that own person 'needs' is being negligent for a 'healthy' relationship.
And so the same applies to that personal relationship with Christ Messiah, Holy God and Holy Heavenly Father.
If the relationship is not a 'Good' one, then first assertiveness, secondly, requests, thirdly a rethinking of assertiveness and the relationship itself. You might need to 'drive' that unhealthy person out/away from your life.
