How much emotional beating can you take?

There are some things that you have to just put up with in life. However, putting up with things is not the same as being a door mat that everyone walks over. Eventually, enough is enough. We all have our breaking points, where if people push us enough, we push back. I am willing to take a little bit but if it starts becoming recurring, then I tend to start fighting back. You can poke at a sleeping dog for so long until he decides to snap back. I feel like I am the same way at times. There are times where I am willing to just let something go but not for all that long.

Basing upon my experience I even outstretched my patient the more so that I can keep my marriage intact & still hoping against hope that my husband will be changed to become a more responsible person. I've been through a lot of heartaches & emotional battles but I never lost hope. I do my best to keep everything together. Maybe I can say enough is enough when he will cheat on me again.

I dont take emotional beatings at all..Not because i can't handle it but becuase I REFUSE TO PUT UP WITH IT! I was my families mental and emotional punching bag for DECADES...a couple yrs ago I finally decided that I WILL NOT stand for it anymore..When it comes to ppl I work with (when I was still working) etc they NEVER get far at all before I seriously put them in their place...I dont tolerate that sort of crud from anyone..Not towards me, my kids or my hubby or friends for that matter...
