How someone makes you feel is much more important than how you feel about them.
You can love someone more than you’ve ever loved anyone ever before…
The love you have for them could feel electric.
But if they don’t make you feel like YOU’RE important to them, no amount of love that you give to them can ever fill what’s missing.
Relationships are ALWAYS a two way street.
The foundations for a relationship to work have to come from both sides.
If they make you feel alone, they’re going to make you feel lonely, neglected, and unappreciated.
If they give their attention and time to everyone else, they’re going to make you feel unworthy and unimportant to them which eventually damages your self-esteem and self-worth.
If they are emotionally immature in the way they communicate with you, they’re going to make you feel fearful of being your true self and being able to say how you really feel.
Being in a relationship with someone is meant to feel amazing.
It’s meant to feel like they love you and prioritise every part of you.
It should feel like they care about you and want to spend their time being with you.
But when it doesn’t feel like that it leaves us feeling empty.
It leaves us feeling unloved.
And that then leaves us living in a very depressive and miserable relationship that allows for resentment to start to creep in.
We end up being resentful because we trusted this person with our heart and now, they’re not taking care of it like they should.
We’re resentful because we know how committed we are to them, but if feels like they just don’t care at all.
This ultimately leads to a relationship that soon becomes toxic.
Because toxic relationships are not from an absence of love.
They come from the absence of trust and respect.
And when someone isn’t making you feel loved, wanted, and cared about; not only do you start to no longer trust your heart with them, but you begin to feel disrespected by them as well.
The true measure on how healthy a relationship is doesn’t come from how deeply in love you feel towards the other person.
It comes from how deeply both people in the relationship show their love towards one another...
