Even when we argue and I want to strangle him.
Even when he totally misunderstands me and I feel alone.
Even when he doesn't listen to me and I feel sad.
If you told me you were a prophet i won't doubt it for a seconds because you just summarized the issues I am currently facing in my own relationship , she makes me feel lonely in the relationship..
All of it is part of being in a relationship with another human being and navigating my own humanness as well as his.
Well you have a valid point ..
Well, I'm glad that you now know you are not alone in how you feel. I feel it too. And yes, humanness.
One thing I didn't talk about in this post is that I do a lot of inner work, like healing my emotional pains. So when my partner triggers some old pain (that existed in me LONG before I met him) I use tapping (a tool) to process how I'm feeling.
I highly recommend meeting the part of you that is hurting (feeling lonely, sad, angry, etc) and giving it as much loving compassion as possible. Because even if your partner doesn't know how to help you feel better YOU can help you feel better.
Hmm true.. in other words , I need to embrace self-love
Yep. Pretty much. 😂 I have found that there is an obvious and direct correlation between how much I love myself and how much love I can let in from other people.
