Partner only staying for kids

May 17, 2023

Partner only staying for kids.

Not knowing whether your partner is going to stay or leave messes with your mind. You feel worthless. Not good enough. Loneliness and depression follow.

When sharing your thoughts with others, you’re told what a “good parent” would do. However, you realize these folks are not you, and you don’t clearly understand the reason for your thoughts, so how could they?

From your training with the Stoicess you know to focus on yourself and what it means for you to be a good parent to your children. You also look at how your partner treats your children.

You see, if your partner is good to your children and not mean to you, should you be upset? You know young children are most important to you, and you should be there for them. That is what parents do.

So, if your concern is over your partner’s future actions, you know nature has many surprises for you along the way. Things may change just as your current thoughts may change.

And you know that always doing what you believe is right in God’s eyes, is doing what’s right for you.

Now using My S-T-O-I-C Storytelling Meditation method:

(S) I think my partner is only staying in our relationship because of our kids. What do I do?
(T) “How does it help…to make troubles heavier by bemoaning them.” Seneca
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Book of Deuteronomy
(O) I decided to focus on myself and be the best parent possible.
(I) I realized that things change, and I need to live in the moment, addressing what is in front of me presently.
(C) The character trait that I improved is being the best I can be in God’s eyes while doing what’s right for me.

The Stoicess’ Secret:

When you’re unsure of what to do, follow God and just do you.
