What To Do?

Ok so I am wondering when do you through in the towel and when do you say no I need to make this work? I am really struggling right now with a particular issue. I don't want to give specifics so I will talk in general terms. You open yourself up to a new experience and agree to try it with a specific end date in mind. You have given it your best shot you have adjusted your attitude tried numerous things and still you find the new experience is not right for you. You have been working at it for almost two months with two more to go. It is causing you stress, frustration and creating anger within you. Do you continue you on till your end date to honor your commitment or do you as they say through in the towel and call it quits. You see that seems the easy way out - calling it quits but I also wonder if that is also the mature thing to do realizing it is not working for you. If I do call it quits am I am quieter not willing to stick with something and see the possible positive end results. Am I afraid of some hard work and discomfort er in my life? What does that say about me that I can not honor the commitment I made. But on the other hand what is wrong with admitting you tried it and it is not working for you and need to break the commitment. I really don't know - I think at this point you have a sense of the quandary I am in. I would appreciate any insight you have on this. Please also know that as a parent I am aware that my children are watching and seeing how I handle this. Just another added pressure to this situation.

Thanks,

Mrs. Potts

P.S. I know my last two posts have been full of deep thoughts but it does help to put them out there.
