Putting Things Off

You know, even in relationships, putting things off can have a harmful, if not devastating effect. This is especially true if there is something serious that needs to be talked about. People do not want to do unpleasant things. So, when faced with such a situation, they will, often, find nearly any excuse to put off the discussion. What happens is that, too often, the topic will become one of those "avoided" items because, as this continues, the situation becomes even more toxic.

This goes back to the truth we talked about in a past posting. If a couple can always face the truth and always be truthful to each other, then such toxic topics can be discussed freely and will, for the most part, lose their poison. In fact, such a conversation can prove beneficial to the couple's relationship as it promotes openness, honesty, and a sense of "we can overcome this" feeling.

As always, I look forward to your comments, Scott
