If you’ve lived long enough as an adult, you’ve experienced some relationships that just seem to accumulate debt. The kind where the other person took more than they deserved or maybe didn’t give enough to keep their relational credit up.
But what about the new relationships? The ones where you don’t have any debts or overdue bills…No long pattern of unmet expectations to suffocate your need to be seen or heard.
Be cautious not to allow a bad debt affect another person’s chance to build credit with you. Learn the red flags but don’t get so wrapped up in expecting to be disappointed that you miss a whole chance to be loved well and finally charge off the bad debt from those old relational accounts.
You’ll be happier when you learn to look for and appreciate the good qualities instead of magnifying the flaws or maybe even making them up.
