"If you go into a relationship not feeling terribly good about yourself, you're more likely to become dependent on your partner to help you feel good about yourself. If we felt empty before they appeared in our lives, we fear the emptiness returning if they leave, so their staying with us becomes paramount. That dependency can create all kinds of fear and unhappiness when there's a perceived threat to you staying together."
I read this from an article about love and thinking whether to believe it or not. He's the one who brings me up when I'm down, who comforts me when I need someone, who listens to me when I need an ear to listen, who is there to give me his shoulder to cry on.
"Love is not painful, it feels incredible. The pain and hurt we feel doesn’t come from love, it comes from our doubts, fears, anxiety, perceived rejections, broken trusts, anger, jealousy, envy, etc. So why do we as a culture lump all those other feelings in with love?"
Fear is the factor for me. I have a fear that I'm going to lose him completely when I don't want that to happen at all :(
Another day has gone by and I decided to wait it out because I'm not gonna give up on us. I'm hoping really hard that everything will work out for the best. <3
