In relationships, people sometimes take abuse, neglect, or criticism from partners and try to keep up appearances so that other people will think they are in a successful relationship.
The focus on what others think can get people into a lot of trouble.
It's normal to want to look good - but how does it feel? Is the way our partner make us feel less important than how they look on the outside - or what society says about them?
Many people have experienced much pain from being with unavailable partners who seemed to have it all: looks, money, and possessions. Behind the externals, though, and in the center of the relationship, the appearances may have contrasted with reality.
Sharing love with an emotionally available partner may look unusual on the surface to others in our lives. An emotionally available partner may not fit traditional definitions of "the ideal mate."
But we aren't looking to please others by dating or partnering with someone they think is right for us. We are getting close to the person who can truly fulfill us - and what other's think of us, or our partner, is truly none of our business.
Today take action for radical self-care in your relationship. You deserve it! And enjoy the journey to true love.
