NEVER MEDDLE IN LOVE AFFAIRS...

This is for everyone:

As much as possible, NEVER MEDDLE in the romantic relationships of your loved ones.

You can comment, or give an unsolicited advice or two. But leave the final decision to your loved one. Don’t insist on, or force, what you want or what you think is the better option.

If your beloved is happy with his or her partner, is not being maltreated or physically and emotionally abused and in good health, leave them alone.

Each one of us is the master of our destiny. No one has the right to run our lives his or her way. There’s no exception.  We’re still the final judge on where we want to walk through in life.

Remember, all of us have our own standards for happiness.  

There are couples who live in extreme poverty but are still as sweet to each other as when they first started out as lovers.

There are others who are happy only if they have tens or hundreds of thousands or millions of pesos to waste on luxuries.

We may not be happy with what we see in our loved one and his or her partner, but keep in mind that IT’S THEIR LIFE, not yours.  

Interfere, and force only what you want, if you see UNDENIABLE PROOF that your loved one is in a living hell with his or her partner.

For example, bruises or black eyes have become a common sight on your loved one’s body and face because she becomes a  punching bag by his partner whenever he’s drunk or they’re quarrelling.

Your loved one’s partner is having an affair with another person, or their union or relationship is forbidden, legally and morally.

Your loved one is being treated far worse than a slave by his or her partner. He or she is the one earning a living, and spending more for and doing the household chores, while the partner eats, sleeps and watches television day and night.

Your loved one’s becoming sickly and fast getting thin, and the partner isn’t doing anything about it, as in nothing.

There are other exceptions but, I repeat, intervene only if you have to. If you respect your loved one’s choice for a partner, you preserve the peace and harmony between you.

When peace and harmony are preserved, nothing less than a quiet and happy life for everyone follows. 30
