‘With any Relationship arrives Risk!’
Hindsight is an amazing thing – particularly when it comes to relationships!However, ‘love is blind’ as the old adage goes, particularly when one is starting on a new relationship. We want ‘things’ to work out, and even although there may be warning signs from the start, we often live in hope that we can make it work.
Yet relationships of any sort pose risk – big or small! Though sometimes it is hard to ascertain what it is exactly you are risking until you are in it, or out of it!If a relationship meaning is to include:
- The mutual transactions or feelings that exist between two individuals,
- An emotional exchange, a state of connectedness,
- A relationship which is adjustable;
Then it’s highly possible that even though every relationship is unique – one thing they have in common is an element of risk; because deals don’t always remain mutual, emotions are fluid, and emotions are diverse.

Human emotions cover a wide scale, but what to do when our emotions, thoughts, and emotions are not matched by our partner? Are our objectives too high? Do we have an improbable idea of how ‘things’ should be?
Sure, risks are meant to be obtained, and often they pay off. But it is essential to at least think about what it is you are risking prior to getting in too deep! Ask yourself – Are you making a compromise that is going to be to your detriment? Is the writing on the wall already and you are only going to dig yourself deeper? Are there other people involved in the risk you are taking? Is this person even worth the risk?

Often our friends and family can see the risks clearer than we can, yet we don’t always heed their warnings. I spent too long in a relationship hoping the risks would just go away… until I noticed I was risking losing myself in the process.
So how it is that one enables to comment on such things? Do you have to be a relationship therapist or a psychologist? Do you have to be able to list a myriad of personalities whom you’ve dated? Or is simply that each and every single expertise qualifies? For often it only takes one relationship to educate you what it is you want and what you don’t want from an associate.
But without having at least avoiding to think about the risks involved, love truly is blind.
