Maybe you see another car run a red light.

And whether we like it or not, it’s ingrained into so many facets of our society. Even if you had the privilege of not realizing it before, you’re hopefully definitely realizing it now. And for some people - because of who they are or who they choose to love - the race is the most significant aspect of their lives. Especially for people in interracial relationships.

You can’t just cut the cord and walk away: Often, the breakup is drawn out - as a result, the pain runs deep. Many times, children are involved. Assets need to be split and lives uprooted. It goes without saying that ending a marriage can make you rethink everything you thought you knew about love - and sometimes, even, yourself.

While you may love your partner very much (or not anymore!), their narcissistic tendencies can make it difficult (to say the least) for you to live with them and feel loved in return. It may have taken you some time to realize that his or her personality is sadly all about ‘me, myself and I’.
