When it comes to matters of the heart, we want to make believe that we always we got a hold of everything, that we know exactly what we are doing or where we are heading. You want to believe, that you, against all odds, will never end up like one of those couples who go through rough patches, or end up broken hearted, or maybe feeling lost.
There is a romanticized notion of relationships that makes us grow uncomfortable around the not-so-common thoughts or feelings we get every once in a while. But rest assured, you are not alone; it is just that no really shares it out loud, that they as well, have come face to face with these hard relationship truths we rarely speak about.
1. You know it deep down in your heart when a relationship is not meant to be, won’t work, and will eventually end. But that part of you tightly holding onto the fleeting good times in this relationship makes you want to believe otherwise.
2. You know that most of their excuses are made up. You are just using their excuses as excuses for yourself to never let go.
3. No matter how hard you try, you can never teach your partner a love language they don’t speak. Even worse, you might still doubt the depth of their love just because they express it differently.
4. You can still love your partner with all your heart yet feel bored sometimes, not of them in specific, but of how monotonous your life together has become.
5. You will pick some of your partner’s bad habits the same way you pick their good ones.
6. You will still need alone time sometimes, no matter how much your love your partner. You’re only lucky if you are with the type of a partner who would understand that.
7. You might still be in love with someone despite how badly they’ve hurt you. It is what it is, we cannot always reason with love.
8. Your fear of not finding true love or ending up alone is the reason why you stay in miserable relationships or jump quickly from one relationship to another without giving yourself enough time to process how you feel.
9. You never let go of an unhealthy relationship because deep down you think ‘better the devil you know’.
10. Sometimes, you fall in love with an idea, a state, or a feeling you are longing for, not a person.
In the end, how honest are you willing to be with yourself? And are you brave enough to face yourself with some truths you don’t want to believe? Just remember, the only person you never want to delude is yourself.
