It’s Not “Complicated,” They’re Just The Wrong Person

The right relationship will enhance your life, not complicate it.

The right person will enhance your life, not complicate your life.

Have you ever settled for for “it’s complicated” because you’ve just assumed that’s how every relationship must be?

Your partner is hot and cold, off and on, incongruent with their words and actions.

But, they’re still sticking around, so they must want to be with you…right?

Unless, maybe, they’re not leaving for the same reasons that you’re not leaving.

It’s easy to mistake attachment for commitment. If they keep coming back or sticking around even when things are clearly not working, that can feel like dedication to you or the relationship.

If they wanted to leave, they would.

Says the person who, deep down, wants to leave…but doesn’t.

How long? How long have you, or will you spend with someone who’s not sure about you? How many more weeks, months, or even years do you think have been taken away from the chance to meet and be with someone who is sure about you?
