I was in a relationship, but had 2 end it coz my man never did anything 2 support me. He would go out drinking & come home late & be totally inconsiderate. He never had work so I had 2 pay 4 everything, & when I came home @ night he hadn't even washed the dishes! So I was then told this meaphore.. When you break a leg, it gets put in a cast. So your other leg has 2 become stronger to make up 4 the broken leg.. Eventually it becomes so strong it can almost walk completely without the broken leg. But then the cast comes off & the weaker leg has no muscle deffinition. So the stronger leg keeps complaining "why cant you keep up, look how strong I am". Now which 1 are you? I was the stronger leg. I kept on supporting my boyfriend, and doing the things he was supposed to do. I became stronger & almost totally self reliant. So when it came to me asking him to do something, he couldnt. He had become to weak, & I could not understand this? My point is, a relationship is team work!

Yes, i agree, a relationship IS teamwork. Trouble is, often it starts off that way and then someone starts not pulling their weight, and by that time there are often children, homes and other factors involved, so not easy to end it. However, i did the same as you and ended my relationship where my hub was not doing his share.

I once broke both my legs and started walking on my hands so my arms became really strong, what does that mean?

You could have just summed all that up with a relationship is based on teamwork, I think faith, trust and hope plays a big part in them too.

Thats nice, and now that you have all your new found freedom, you can take the time to learn to spell and to punctuate.
