Questions to Ask Before The Cut Off

/

Have you ever considered or decided to end a relationship with a friend because you’ve been met by a rough patch that seems never-ending? Here are some questions to consider before cutting ties and letting your friend go:

  1. What boundaries do I have in place?

  2. What ways may people respond to the boundary?

  3. Does the other person know I have an issue with them?

  4. Can we come back from the harm done?

  5. Is the other person willing to repair the relationship?

  6. What are the healthy parts of the relationship?

When we take a moment to reflect and ask ourselves these questions, we may be surprised that we haven’t fully done our part to maintain the relationship in the first place. We are only human and we have to tell people when they have done something that we don’t like.
