Abraham: When to Stay & When to Go (Infidelity)
Thanks, Parul, for sharing this Abe clip after hearing today's Q&A call where someone asked how long to stay in a relationship that isn't getting better.
Abraham suggests no one should stay in a place where they're being abused, but it's important to change your vibration in order to not continue the same vibration in a new relationship.
Abe covers how you can control your vibration even when you're standing in the middle of something unwanted.
At about 7 minutes in this first video clip, this woman asks how to handle her husband's infidelity, and (as expected) Abraham's answer is not the typical advice we hear.
Is it better to know the truth than it is to feel better? Which thoughts feel better about your husband?
Abe continues by suggesting it is common to ask our partners to do what is biologically unnatural in order to perform a behavior that makes it easier for us to feel good.
The fact is that something happened that you now have the opportunity to choose how you feel about it. (Depending on another's behavior in order to feel good is not a winning proposition.)
I do love this perspective! I've had a number of these realizations for myself, and sometimes need a reminder how to choose to feel as I want to feel. Great!
On another aspect, I drew a parallel to the same dialogue within myself. When I thought about it, we can find times where we are unfaithful to ourselves, or don't keep promises we make to ourselves! This is contrast considering how we want other to keep their promises to us! So really, the TRUE discovery for me in these two videos was that I can tell MYSELF to "Be as you be, and I will choose to feel as I choose to feel". I can give myself permission to be, and to choose how I feel about myself while having the freedom to "be as I be". If I can say to another, I don't need you to be any different for me to feel good, then I should also be able to say that to myself!
