Earlier, I was out walking with my dog Avery as we always do, when my thoughts were drawn to something that I hadn’t thought about in a very long time.
I had serial monogamous relationships and was highly criticized for leaving them. Once I saw it wasn't going anywhere, I pulled the plug and my friends didn't get it. Particularly one person, who was "only" emotionally abusive in private, so no body saw this and my friends thought I was crazy for leaving. Until later. He stole from everyone. I got a few apologies. He was a gambling addict and very goof at hiding it.
I pursued someone who I felt completely drain to and it took a long time to settle down for them but we are still together. Accepting and respecting ourselves and eachother. It is possible but it didn't happen when I was in the place of blaming others for what didn't come naturally into my life.
I really think I had to come to a place where I was okay with my own flaws and challenges, so that I could accept someone else who was also doing their own deep internal work. Two people making a couple who are still their own people but stronger together. I can be me. You can be you. We can be us. Both people have to want it that way. ❤️
