How to stop the tyrant...

Someone asked me how do you stop someone from treating them as a "convenience"? And that's the key, YOU have to STOP ALLOWING them to use you in that fashion... Mind you, we all fall into traps where we use/abuse our friends/loved ones/etc. because we have a sin nature - basically, we are all bad. But someone who is truly sorry and truly wants to be forgiven for treating you a certain way, will stop. If they don't, you dump their ace... fast... you do not want those types around you... just my 2¢...
