We entered into the unhealthy or unfulfilling relationship with much less consciousness and self-knowledge than now we have now. We had totally different attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours, which meant we had blind spots in sure areas. Odds are, we bought into the connection for the mistaken causes, hidden intentions we would solely be capable of face now. It’s additionally doable that depth meant that we staked ourselves to this particular person too rapidly.
Recognising the journey we travelled to getting into a painful relationship doesn’t absolve the opposite celebration of their half. Nonetheless, by taking accountability for a way we need to really feel and who we’re and need to be, now we have the choice to decide on in a different way in future and heal, develop and be taught. That willingness to have an trustworthy, compassionate dialog with ourselves opens us as much as extra love, care, belief, and respect.
The second we let go of assumptions, unrealistic expectations and blame, we cease holding ourselves hostage to a crappy scenario. If we’re now not blaming ourselves, we don’t have to harm in the identical manner. We additionally heal the previous variations of us too.
