October 18, 2023 When Is It Time to Move On?

How do you know when to move on from a relationship? When a person makes a promise and fails to follow through on it, when a person constantly stands in judgment over your life choices, and you serve a person without receiving the same generosity in return. There are others but these are a few that come to my mind as a result of my past relationships.

I was an assistant basketball coach in the late 80s and early 90s. The Head Coach was tough, relentless, and consumed with the game of basketball. The first year I was with him things were fine. However, that all changed during the second year. He told me the pay I was receiving would increase but it never did. I gave him critical feedback on the performance of the players. His response was to be judgmental of my feedback in an effort to put me in my place. I did everything he asked of me. However, he told me, “If you do what you are supposed to do you may end up on the Wall of Fame.”

I decided after the second year of coaching to no longer be his assistant. At the time I was anxious and depressed. I realized I needed to break away for my health. I eventually found my footing again. I also learned how to take care of myself in a relationship.
