Control...

There are things that you can control in life....
Then there are the things/people that you have to learn and accept that you cannot control.
You have utter control over how you let people treat you. Do I need to repeat that??
If someone in your life is being disrespectful to you... remove them.
Remember you are CEO of your life and you can hire and fire the people who are involved in your world.

Eddie and Lori have been together only about a year.
At first in true RabiesLove fashion life was wonderful, perfect Eddie was convinced he had met the woman he was going to marry.
Lori was consumed with Eddie where he was, what he was doing, who he was with...
Eddie told his friends "Oh she just has trust issues, because the last guy cheated on her, once she realizes that I'm not like that she will stop"
Lori however does not stop... she becomes more and more paranoid about Eddie. Lori claims to have no control over her obsessive behavior.

Eddie decides that he cannot deal with the accusations anymore and attempts to break things off with Lori.
Lori completely has an emotional breakdown she is hysterical... she is threatening to kill herself... because she cannot live without Eddie.

Now Eddie does not want to be with Lori but claims he "has to" stay with her because if he does not she is going to hurt herself.

Ok.
First, "if" someone has trust issues that is out of your control. It is not your responsibility to fix the ex's mistakes.
Second, I take all suicide threats seriously. If someone makes this type of threat they are asking for help. They may need professional help.
This is why I strongly suggest that when people profess that they literally cannot "live or breathe" without another person..... BEWARE!

Realize that you only have control over your OWN actions... and sometimes that is difficult enough to handle...
You will never have control over others actions.
If they want to cheat on you... they will.
If they want to abuse you...they will.
If they want to use drugs...they will.
And sadly if a person really wants to end their life... they will.

Nothing that you do to "babysit" or "stalk" will change anything. Why? Because you are only in Control of you.
You are not the puppet master over another...
