RE: Overcoming Fear of Love: My Journey to Finding Balance in Relationships

in Weekend Experiences2 years ago

Well, in my previous relationship I learned that I didn't know as much as I thought I did.
I was humbled, simply put.

Definitely learning and unlearning everyday. And I know I'll get it right.

P.S: Stop running away from love 😁.

Sort:  

💪💪lol, humbled seems like an adjective I would use for a relationship couch who didn't have things work out for her. Is that you?

I'll do my best not to. But the person has to give me very good reasons to stay, I am beginning to see that sometimes love is not enough.

I wouldn't say relationship coach but I thought I knew. Nothing prepared me for the rollercoaster lol.

'Love is not enough'.
This statement. I find myself agreeing and disagreeing with this statement every eke market day.

Yeah, I feel you. Relationships are not easy...

What part of 'love is not enough' do you disagree with?

I think that the whole idea that if I selflessly gave myself to one person...that's all my time and resource a lot would be in question. What about other people, what about work and how do I build myself? The questions would first come from that person.

I see two sides to it.

Love is enough. Yes.
Because at the end of the day, it's your love for the said person that will keep y'all together. You can't be with someone you don't love. To start with.

Love is not enough. Yes.
Because you'll have to do more than just 'having the feelings'.
You'll choose commitment. Choose peace. Choose that person everyday.
So you don't just say, "I love her". You'll have to do more than that.

Yeah yeah yeah...like I said I get you.

It just starts to seem like a contradicting thought when you say Love is a feeling and a commitment at the same time. It's either one or the other.

It's like saying motivation and discipline are the same. You can feel motivated to choose peace in your relationship but your discipline is not being challenged at the time.

If you are disciplined you on the other hand you will do it even on days you don't feel motivated.
