You can identify the areas where a potential love interest might not be the right match by taking a close look at your needs and those of your partner.
Your FWB and you have a great relationship. You will feel more connected the more you spend time together. You will eventually fall in love with them.
There’s a problem: Sometimes days, sometimes even weeks, go by without you hearing anything from them. You send them Facebook messages, and they respond.
It would be best to prioritize good communication when you are in relationships with people. Their inability to respond to you promptly is a sign that they’re not a match.
Recognizing the shortcomings of someone you love can help you get over them.
Love is unconditional
Egel states that “some loves might always scratch your heart.” “Some relationships, particularly those that were integral to our growth at pivotal points in our lives, weave through the inner fabric of who we are.”
It can feel as if you are letting go of deep love. However, it would help if you took this opportunity to recognize the positive aspects of the relationship and any lessons learned. These feelings should be validated. Allow them to be heard.
Neglecting your emotions and their importance can make you feel stuck. You can find peace by honoring your past and allowing those feelings to become part of you.
Recognizing the importance of your past love can help you see why it isn’t serving you anymore.
Looking to the future
You can be stifled by your love for someone you don’t trust or an ex-partner. You’ll have trouble finding happiness with someone else if you remain attached to someone you don’t want in a relationship.
Even if you aren’t ready to commit, casual dating can show you many great people out there.
Finding the right partner can be difficult, even if you are ready to start dating more seriously. Sometimes it takes time. It can be tempting to focus on your partner when you have a difficult time dating.
Be open to the future and not look back at your past, even though it may be difficult.
Even if you don’t feel right with anyone, it is possible to still work on your attachments. While working on this issue, it is perfectly acceptable to have casual relationships. However, you must be honest and open about your needs and what you can offer.
Prioritize all other relationships
When heartbreak is over, people often forget about other important relationships.
As you heal, your family members and friends can be there to support you. You may find that they have valuable insight and wisdom that you can share from your own experience.
If you are trying to heal from a toxic partnership, your loved ones can be a source of strength and guidance. Pay attention to how you feel about your interactions.
It may be wise for you to cut down on your contact with someone who makes you feel judged or bad about yourself or your choices.
Take time for yourself
If you are in love with someone you care deeply about, you may make minor changes to your appearance to reflect what you desire in a partner.
Think about the parts of you that you may have hidden, suppressed, or changed. Perhaps you were more stylish than you prefer, began a new sport, or quit your favorite hobby.
Perhaps you tried to avoid expressing your emotions fully and stopped asking what it was you wanted.
