What was the most difficult promise you made?

The most difficult promise that I made was one to my ex partner. I promised him i would never give up on him and that was a hard promise to keep.

When I was keeping to it, I made my own life very difficult, I lost friends and I lost alot of peoples respect.

Each time he messed up, I would try to put everything right again, just for him to undo it all a few weeks later.

Even though we split up a number of years ago and I met someone else, I still done all I could for the man.

I tried to help him as much as I could, but when I look back, he didn't ever want help. Things came to a head about a year ago when he had the opportunity to receive professional help, he turned his back on it. At that time, I realized that I had to walk away and turn my back on him, I couldn't keep my promise to him anymore if he wasn't willing to help himself.

Sometimes i get angry that i wasted so much time and effort on him for absolutely nothing, but then I think, it's his loss, not mine as I haven't lost anything by turning my back on him, in fact, I done myself a favor by doing that as I am able to lead my life my way, him on the other hand, well he lost the only person in the world who still wanted anything to do with him. I hope one day he realizes what he lost.
