We've all experienced tough love, you know its what your parents did when you wanted to go to a party and they wouldn't let you so you go to your room and scream 'I hate you!' as you slam the door, but later you find out that the party was busted anyway and your secretly grateful that your parents didn't let you leave the house, but don't tell them that.

I spent many years in a tough love relationship one that tore me down, built me up, made me blind, opened my eyes, and gave me one beautiful little girl. There's no doubt that not all times where tough, sometimes it was real genuine love, you know the kind you see in the Disney movies as a little girl and dream about. But for all the good there's always bad, really bad like slamming doors, tears, yelling, and sleepless nights wondering if you really wanted to be in this relationship or if you where just in it for your daughter. You go to school, go to work with smiles and laughs tell your coworkers about the cute thing your kid did last week, call your parents and tell them everything is fine, great, anything to make the lump in the back of your throat go away, and change the fact that you want to cry in to laughter.

I saw a quote the other day on Facebook that stated divorce doesn't happen because you can't get along it's because you quit trying. I think that's utter crap. What if you are tired of trying? What if you put all your energy in to years and years of ups and downs, break ups and make ups and you are literally exhausted...so tried that nothing has changed. But your one of those people that sees the good in everyone, and he is a good person there is no doubt, you just wish there would be more of the good everyone would see instead of the hurt. Just because you quit trying does not make you a bad person sometimes you give all you can and there's nothing left to give, I mean ya you could probably dig deep down and find more and fight for him again but whats the point if they don't fight for you? You only have so much. My love is continuous and always will be after all he blessed me with a sassy, spunky, and beautiful daughter who is the light of my world. But I'm ready for love I don't have to question.
