Learning the first time so we don't have to do it again.....
The only people in this world that we can learn the most from, the ones who stretch us beyond our emotional comfort zones are the ones we care about.
Do we forget and neglect ourselves and our needs because we are fearful?
Do we allow the ones we want the most to treat us badly and disrespect us because we are afraid to tell them what we want?
Do their words match their actions?
Do they say what they mean and mean what they say?
Do we mean what we say and say what we mean towards them ?
Do we not confront them when they don't call when the say they will?
Do we set up unhealthy patterns of behavior with them?
Do we become we passive aggressive when they do things we do not like ?
Remember at the beginning of a relationship is the best we are going to get from them. And the most important thing of all is are we being HONEST with ourselves about what we want from the relationship or are we making excuses to ourselves when they behave badly? Just some food for thought to help us examine our intentions and motivations in any relationship.
