There\\u2019s someone in your life you love, but the relationship just isn\\u2019t working.\\xa0

\\xa0

Despite your best efforts to communicate and try to work things out, nothing is changing. This person seems totally uninterested in listening to you or working on the relationship.

\\xa0

You\\u2019ve hit a wall, and the relationship feels stuck.

\\xa0

This can be so maddening, frustrating, disappointing and painful! You wouldn\\u2019t be trying to make it work if you didn\\u2019t care for this person, but you can\\u2019t make them change\\u2026and you\\u2019re hurting in the meantime.\\xa0

It\\u2019s ok \\u2013 and even expected \\u2013 that certain people will come and go throughout our lives. Perhaps you\\u2019ve learned what you\\u2019re meant to learn and it\\u2019s time to let go, or perhaps there\\u2019s something for your soul to learn by working through this difficult process together.

\\xa0

\\u201cHave you considered that the reason that you\\u2019re with this person\\u2026is because you needed to learn, grow, transform or find something about yourself?\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cAcceptance and liking are two very different things.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cWhen you\\u2019re able to accept somebody for who they are, there\\u2019s almost like a release that happens. There\\u2019s a detachment that happens.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cPeople are not going to change until they\\u2019re ready and willing to change.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cJust because the relationship needs to be shifted, it doesn\\u2019t mean it has to end.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cWe cannot go around our pain. We go through our pain, and we are stronger on the other side.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant\\xa0

\\xa0

\\u201cEmotions are meant to be experienced, felt and processed, or metabolized, through the body and the energy field. And if we don\\u2019t build a story around what we\\u2019re feeling\\u2026those emotions move through us.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cBoundaries are not confrontational.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cTo let go is to truly detach from [the] outcome, and we let go of our expectations as well.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cIt\\u2019s beautiful when we are able to look at our lives and ask, \\u2018What do I need?\\u2019\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\\xa0

\\u201cRelationships can be beautiful, but they can also be really hard\\u2026and they can also be somewhere in the middle.\\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
