When it's time to end a relationship:
Our relationships are patterns. Some of us are in patterns of ending things quickly as soon as there's any issue. More of stay far too long and end up angry at ourselves that we did.
Love isn't blind. Love is learned from childhood. Who we get attached to is no accident. It's a re-enactment. Sometimes, we get attached to people who mirror our earliest experiences of not getting our emotional needs met.
Our instinct becomes: try harder.
And we continue to push and believe this person can change. They can meet our needs. They can finally see what they have in us.
And we continue to push and believe this person can change. They can meet our needs. They can finally see what they have in us.
Sometimes, we have the conversation over and over again and nothing changes. We have to make the choice: can I be in this if nothing at all changes? Longterm, can I be who I want to be beside this person?
Sometimes, we end up with people who don't understand relationships take work. They don't have interest in learning to mutually meet each other's needs. They're numb, checked out, and covered in emotional armor.
It's heartbreaking to experience. And it takes real courage to choose yourself. To trust that you deserve someone who's emotionally invested in the way that you are. To trust you don't need to settle just to have someone to sleep next to at night.
Not enough people talk about how hard is to walk away. In a world that glorifies staying, leaving is a courageous act. The unknown is terrifying, but the other side holds things that only come when you bet on highest self.
You deserve to be loved well.
