A woman stayed in her marriage 17 years longer than she wanted, thinking she was protecting her husband from pain. After she left, he found a new partner and became happier than ever. Doing what's right for you turns out to be what's right for everyone.
And if you have a dream in your heart and you think, oh, I can't hurt my partner, I can't hurt my, you know, by moving on, know that if you do what's best for yourself, it will always be what's best for everybody else, only 100% of the time. That's why I stayed in a marriage for 17 more years than I wanted to, because for 17 years I I thought I was protecting my wonderful former husband, but I was really protecting myself from the pain I would feel from hurting him. Mm-hmm. I finally did it and he moved on and he found a woman who was so much better at being a wife than I am. And he is happier than he's ever been. So don't think you're protecting somebody by not moving on. They have their own karma. And when you do what's best for yourself, it will Always be what's best for everyone else, but only 100% of the time.
