When is it Enough?

I am friends with this couple. I met them freshman year of high school and the three of us got very close. This couple had been dating since 7th grade. They continued to date off and on until the end of her second year of college. That is 7 years. During that seven years they broke up, I believe, 4 times. He broke up with her. He sometimes saw other people while they were apart. Often while they were apart life was not good for him or for her. He broke her heart at least 4 times. I was there and I saw it. But after each break she took him back. She wanted him back. She continued to love him unconditionally despite having been with other girls, despite having broken her heart.

There is this boy and I love him very much. But he has broken my heart twice now. The last time I let a boy break my heart more than once it did not turn out well for me.

The reason I tell you all of this is because I have a question. When is enough, enough? When do we say no more? At what point has a person broken your heart too many times for you to forgive them?

It took me three years to learn when enough was enough with Dustin. It was a difficult choice but I knew I had to put my needs first and be the one to say "No more."

If you need to talk, you have my new AIM sn. I'm always here for you.
