Happy New Year SS flowerforyou

In a situation like that, I would give a heartfelt apology and ask the person if they need some space from me or if they would allow me to be there for them. Whatever they ask for, I would respect it and act accordingly

Happy new year Peggy flowers that would be the mature thing to do I guess and not dwell on feelings. Thank you and blessings to you:angel:

If you know another person is hurting or sad because of you and you truly love that person what do you do? If you don’t do anything then why?


Difficult question to answer without knowing the reason for their sadness or hurt. Whether or not you can do anything depends if the reason is within your control, clearly if you truly love them you do whatever you need to do to remove their sadness or hurt. If the reason is beyond your control, for example your own ill health, there is very little you can do other than offer them comfort. Surely, not to do anything must mean you do not truly love them.

Oh I can't stand to be the cause of someone hurting because of me. However, Pepto Bismol loves me because I buy a crap ton of it due to my stomach being in knots. So I guess I am helping out the economy. Go me.

Thanks guys... I for one cannot bear to be the cause of sadness to anyone but as you all said the situations varies and people just have different views in making things right. The right decisions and outlook too are not the same for everyone thus to each his own.

Yes but sometimes heartbreaking.... specially as you want to be the best version of yourself but others see you differently. We see what we want to see Eric and ignore those that we don’t for reasons only we know

it's all just a guide and sometimes painful as it can be those outside looking in views can be helpful. just remember to judge the source accordingly and not apply absolute weight to any one thing

I will remember that Eric thanks :angel: and I know I should not judge as I myself don’t want that to be done to me.

we all judge. the key is not obsessing over the judgements or letting it get out of hand

I disagree and I refuse to judge. I always give a person the benefit of a doubt unless the situations are just really out there and factual. By obsessed maybe you mean emotional?

i disagree! you judge him to be funny, her to be sad and that to be pretty every day .
by obsessing i mean when you let it become the reason you do do anything and you let it start overcoming everything else

Love is not perfect .. .. sometimes feelings get hurt ..

Everyone has different coping mechanisms when it comes to hurt ..If there is open communication , awareness , sensitivity and respect ... hopefully the emotional distress /conflict will be resolved in time .




I agree with this! :thumbsup:

If you know another person is hurting or sad because of you and you truly love that person what do you do? If you don’t do anything then why?


aloha ss...need some more 4-1-1...because of you?...what did you do?...was it intentional?...or were you being true to yourself; does fixing it require you to be dishonest to yourself?...or is this part of the ups and downs of a relationship and the other is not quite mature enough to understand that?...for example, many misinterpret "me time" as an "anti-them time" which is just not the case...

ok...just my nickel...

Anti them time hhhmmm

I need more inputs here slaphead if you know your partner didn’t mean to hurt you would you still take it against them? If your instant reaction is how to make the other person feel the same pain , for them to understand your own pain, would that be love? If you want to give a lesson must it be tough love? Dealing with our children is very different from a romantic relationship . I wonder if i am just dreaming to wish for a love that is so pure so loving and so nurturing never wanting to hurt or be the cause of hurtslaphead
