My understanding is that our "issues" are currently being magnified. It is almost like a magnifying glass is being taken and held over many of our relationships. Each time this happens we have the choice to continue as we have before, shift into a higher consciousness and/or close the door energetically. Now by no means are these choices easy to make, as I know all too well from my own life - however I feel once we make a commitment to follow our own highest joy, to follow what is for our own highest good, we are fully supported by the Universe/Angels/Higher Self/Source/etc. 

If you are finding yourself in a situation that feels suffocating and unbearable, begin simply by centering yourself and listening within. What is it that you are feeling? Are you angry? Are you livid? Are you sad? Rather than suppressing the emotion allow it to come up, embrace it, acknowledge it, allow it simply to be. I am clearly not a proponent of wallowing in emotions, however they do serve a purpose. They show us what it is that is out of sync within us. They show us what needs attention. All (healthy) joy and love we feel comes from within first, so these markers will show you what you need to work on - most of the time it is self love, self honoring and self acceptance. Once you have worked through these issues a couple of things can happen. Either the other person does the work as well and both of you raise your vibrations so that you are once again a match, or you become a mismatch and as a result of the self love, self honoring and self acceptance the energetic door closes and you can walk away with ease and grace.

Sometimes there will be an "in limbo" state where one of the two has not yet made his or her choice. You need to remember that every one of us has free will. I can choose to stay or to go, as can you, as can anyone else. The key here is to understand how important it is to honor the choices everyone makes, even when they are not in alignment with what you desire. When you honor the choice of the other, you are effectively honoring yourself as well. You are no longer trying to change the other person and you release the "What If" and "If Only" scenarios, thereby empowering yourself as well as the other person. This creates freedom within yourself and any relationship.
