Antibiotic for loneliness

Image
Loneliness Has an Antidote and You’ll Never Guess What It Is I’m somebody who’s struggled with feelings of loneliness my whole life. It’s a big part of why I decided to become a relationship coach. I wanted to understand why some of my relationships felt more substantial than others. I wanted to understand why sometimes I relished being alone, yet other times being alone evoked feelings of profound sadness. The question I wanted to answer was this: What makes some relationships feel better than others? It was a mystery I was determined to solve. I have always been somebody who constantly alternated between desiring to be alone, which I now know is classic introvert behavior, and desiring to be with others. The thing was, I only wanted to be with others in a very particular way. I didn’t want to chit-chat, mingle, or even party. I wanted to feel warmth radiating between me and the other person. I wanted to feel safe and comfortable. I wanted to feel close . If my relationship...

The Red lights indicating marriage failure

Image
1. You don’t share anymore Communication is the pinnacle of a healthy, successful relationship. Are you the last to know about your partner’s decisions? Do you feel like you don’t know what’s going on in your partner’s life anymore? It’s not necessary to share every thought with each other, but being able to share your successes and talk about your problems, concerns, and insecurities is crucial. If you find that communication has broken down or become nonexistent in your relationship, it’s a major negative indicator of the health of your relationship. : 2. You fantasize about being single It’s not unusual to reminisce about the “good old times” when you used to paint the town red with your single friends. But, if you find that you're daydreaming about how much better your life would be if you weren’t married, it may be time to dig a little deeper to find out why you’re fantasizing about the single life. There may be some serious issues in your marriage that n...

Are you in a Love triangle situation?? here's how to handle that

Image
A love triangle is a sustained sexual and/or emotional attachment between two people, one of whom is in a committed relationship with another person. While a love triangle may begin with a casual, short term affair between these two people, the term generally refers to a more complex relationship. A love triangle is one of the more complicated psychological relationship issues, and yet it's also one of the most common. Method One of Three: Identifying Your Role Examine your place in the love triangle. There are two primary forms of love triangle: the "rivalrous" and the "split object." In the rivalrous, you are one of two people competing for the exclusive love of the third person. In the split object, you are the person whose affection is divided between two lovers.  [1] Split-object relationships can also be imaginary. This occurs when someone imagines that they're in love with a romantic partner they've never met, or idealizes a re...

How men fall in love – The seven stages of love

Image
Stage 1 – Appreciation This is all about physical appearance and instant attraction. Now this should clear the doubts out for women though. Men are rather shallow when it comes to getting attracted at first sight. While women may fall in love in the first conversation, men are attracted to a woman only for her physical aspects, and nothing else. Physical appearance is paramount for men, but it may not necessarily be the entire package. Each guy has his own preferences in what he likes about a woman, be it her face, her legs, her smile or even the way she runs her hands through her hair. A guy may not even know what it is about a girl that he likes, but if he finds something attractive in her, he may experience the appreciation stage.  Stage 2 – Infatuation Men appreciate a lot of women on a daily basis. They try to steal second glances or get a girl’s attention all the time. But it’s not always a success, either because he’s not trying hard enough o...

5 Steps to Heal from an Addictive Relationship

Image
Six years ago, in the Summer of 2012, my life felt unmanageable. The pain of yet another traumatic break-up with the same man I had been in a relationship with for over 7 years, left me reeling; feeling vulnerable, isolated and alone. I wanted to share my pain, but didn’t want to burden others. I was afraid that my friends and family wouldn’t understand, or worse yet, think I was crazy for continuing a path of no return, repeating a pattern that I couldn’t stop on my own. I was powerless in my addiction to the relationship and I was slowly starting to see that the only way out was through the pain. I needed to fully grieve the relationship and couldn’t do it alone. Below are some guidelines to heal from an addictive relationship. 1. Admit you are powerless. Prior to this step, we often deny, manipulate the situation or negotiate with ourselves and others that things will change or get better “If only…” Once we reach our own “rock bottom”, we can begin to heal. This step can ta...
