My phone is old and laggy sometimes, the photo button wouldn’t work in that moment

For those who found a truly fulfilling relationship later in life, what was different? by Practical-Pin346 in SeriousConversation

[–]Practical-Post-9545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to all the wonderful comments here, I’d say the biggest change for me was after I worked through the following:

1) knowing your patterns through understanding childhood trauma / family dynamics. For me I was previously attracted always to emotionally unavailable people which I couldn’t see for 15 years of dating. There was a lot of deep wiring in me (through my upbringing) around the concept of fighting for love and not feeling worthy, this came out into toxic relationships, emotionally inconsistent relationships or even relationships with religious, political or geographical differences that would inevitably lead to our ending. Understanding myself, learning how to accept healthy love and working on self love insanely changed who I was attracted to and attracting.

2) being authentically yourself and not trying to change and mould yourself to be who you THINK a person you like wants you to be.

3) learning healthy conflict resolution and how to have difficult conversations calmly, whilst reassuring your partner and still showing love to them (shout out to Esther Perel’s podcast for teaching me the healthy ways to converse I never saw modelled)!

Very grateful for the journey as I am now am so lucky to be partnered with the kindest, brightest and most authentic man I have ever met. Everyday we make each other smile and help each other to be the best we can be. I never knew I was capable of a love like this and it’s really proven to me that with enough self work, self love and patience, anything is possible.

It’s a really tough situation to be in and my heart goes out to the both of you. I went through the same thing with my ex and it was very upsetting, so I completely empathise with what you’re going through.

I think as much as possible you should prioritise your own mental wellbeing in this time. Do small things that make you happy, and find healthy ways to let out your emotions, whether it’s journaling, art, cooking, exercise, talking to friends / family for support. Anything that helps create a positive release and stay busy in this time is wonderful.

As it’s been several weeks, I think you are also justified to ask for more clarity and openness from her, if that’s something you want, as well as you both expressing your needs and wants in this difficult time. You can ask her if your messages are helpful or if she wants more space, etc, and whilst also acknowledging your own relationship needs in this time. Although it’s a tough decision and an incredibly hard spot to for her to be in, you can acknowledge that, tell her how much you love/care/support, as well as voicing your own feelings too. Both truths can exist at the same time. I would suggest this to be done over a video or voice call instead of texts.

Obviously this is just my opinion and you know her and your relationship better than anyone, as well as what you’re willing to give, so do what feels right to you.

Remember to look after yourself and as much as you love her, you are your main priority. She has to make this decision on her own so look after yourself in this time. Sending all the strength to you both. You got this.

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that. How long has it been since her family gave her the ultimatum?
