It's indeed hurting when the person you treasure treats you 'unwell' and not meeting certain expectations, esp in the midst of conflicts and quarrels. It just seems like each man for their own and each is only concerned about their own emotions, hurts and problems. Man is just by nature self-centered and selfish. The right thing to do is not to respond in the same way and have "An eye for an eye" attitude. But sometimes it is just so difficult.
If one keep giving in, will one end up in a r/s whereby one will always need to give in and be the person who spologised and being humbled? While God does talk about the Godly attributes of love, it seems difficult when it comes to certain unique circumstances. I guess at the end, it is about choices. What do you choose to do and the consequences of things. Even if the situation is not favourable to us or when ppl are unjust to us or treat us wrongly, is it for us to avenge? I guess... when one has such attitude of 'getting back' that's where the person will need to face certain consequences and get even more hurt in return. Just as God promises in His word that He will deliver the righeous and He will make a way out for them. But those whose hearts are harden will be put to shame. It is for God to take action and not man. Man should play their own part and not respond in sin.
A lesson that i am learning. To let go and let God. While I will need to do what is right and respond what is right. Difficult... Just so tough. Letting go of my pride and self-righteousness and let God.
