Breaking Point – We All Have One – What’s Yours?

By Linda Franklin 

 

Bad behaviour is often overlooked, or more likely tolerated, in any relationship, but everyone has a breaking point. A woman is likely to stand by her man through lots of harrowing experiences and then snap over something that is relatively less offensive. 

Women can put up with a lot but there is always the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Anne Sinclair, the wife of former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is reportedly considering divorce following claims linking him to a call-girl network in Northern France.  She stood by his side when he was accused of sexual assault, but maybe she’s finally at her breaking point.  Who knows?  I read this weekend they were out together celebrating their anniversary.   

Then there’s Demi Moore who filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher.  She finally threw in the towel when Sara Leal came forward claiming she cavorted naked in a hot tub with Kutcher in September — on the weekend of their sixth wedding anniversary.

It’s amazing how long both men and women will put up with bad behaviour or extreme unhappiness before they walk away. It’s devastatingly painful to confront the truth that a marriage isn’t working, and sometimes it can be easier to stick with what we know, no matter how bad it is. People tend to need a catalyst. The interesting thing is that there is often no way of knowing what that will be until it happens. 

 

The Real Cougar Woman is a 5-carat diamond who knows the importance of taking care of her health, beauty, relationships, finances and spirituality. Linda Franklin says,”there is no stopping a woman who has a strong belief system, passion and a dream. All things are possible”. Linda’s book, Don’t Ever Call Me Ma’am helps women of all ages tap into their power and live life to the fullest.
