This is going to be hard for many peo­ple and yet one of the most free­ing things that you will ever ex­pe­ri­ence. Stop ex­pect­ing oth­ers to be­have dif­fer­ently! Why? Be­cause you can­not con­trol other peo­ple’s be­hav­ior! Period! I don’t care how hard you try, the il­lu­sion that you can con­trol an­other per­son’s be­hav­ior is just that, an il­lu­sion. I don’t care if the other per­son is two years old or eighty-two years old, they choose to react to you, or a sit­u­a­tion, all on their own. Now you can “wish” they be­have dif­fer­ently, but do not ex­pect it. The best thing you can do for your­self is to ac­cept other peo­ple’s be­hav­ior and the choices they make. You may not agree with them, you may even wish them to do things dif­fer­ently, but ac­cept it. Just as you would ap­pre­ci­ate other peo­ple ac­cept­ing the choices that you make.

Do not let your relationship status define your happiness! “You cannot borrow half of who you are from someone else, yet people try to do it all the time, they call it a relationship”.
