How many good days, months, even years have you wasted holding on to "love"? I�ve done my share of it. And I know you have, because I read the emails. So why do we do it?

We do it because where love is concerned, particularly bad love, we have a very screwy sense of time and reality. Although we are LIVING in the here and now, we are LOVING either in the past or in the future.

First, let�s agree on your here and now: your reality. I�m not talking about the so-called reality we see on television but your own personal reality that you�re experiencing today, this minute.

Your reality right now is sitting and reading this. You�re doing it in a certain place, wearing certain clothes. At this moment in time, your health has a particular condition, your hair is one way or another, you�re at work or at home, and maybe drinking coffee. It�s night or day, rainy or clear. That�s your reality.

There�s another reality as well-�the one dealing with your relationship. This instant, this very instant, when you think of your partner/lover/spouse, what is your reality? Happy? Sad? Frustrated? Fulfilled? Disappointed? This is also your reality. Now. It is not the past. It is not the future. It is now.
