Let’s face it, sometimes relationships don’t work because there are some differences that cannot be resolved.

• Different values related to key relationship issues (monogamy, marriage, parenting, etc.)
• Different values related to key world issues (politics, justice, race, etc.)
• Different values related to key household issues (finances, cleaning, lifestyle, etc.)
• Or it’s some weird combination of all three. 

But sometimes, relationships don’t work out, simply because that cliché is true.  If you dig a little deeper you may find that in some scenarios, the phrase might read best as, “It’s not you, it’s youth”. 

It wouldn’t be news to anyone if I told you that there were some 30, 40 & 50 year old children runnin’ loose all over the planet.  I’m not trying to judge any one, but there’s plenty of evidence that maturity and age don’t travel on synchronous, parallel tracks.  I’ve met immature people all across the age spectrum.

Sometimes that inner adolescent in all of us, grabs a hold of the decision making reigns and interesting things happen.  I certainly can recall ending a couple of relationships in ways that still make me cringe!  I’ll spare you the details to protect the innocent!

So if you’ve heard those fateful words, don’t fret!  Live your life and know that the only opinion of you that truly matters is your own.
