Literally love & hate

I have been with a guy for just over a year and I really like him, but sometimes I feel like I hate him because the things he does annoy me, but at the end of the day I know I like him, at least I think I do. My feelings for him are usually extreme, either he just completely pisses me off or I just deep fall for him.

I know relationships have their ups and downs, but I want to know if anyone else out there feels similar about their partners.

Is It Normal?

  • I have found that when I allow others in my life the power to control my emotions by the way they act or the things that come out of their mouths, I give away all my power.

    "Gifting" one's personal power to choose the way I feel by reacting to someone elses choices is really not a "gift" of love at all, but rather a sacrifice we make to an obsession. For me, I can't help but feel resentment towards the person I allow to control the way I feel about my day, or worse the way I define my happiness.

    I hear you questioning your love for this partner and I have been there..More important, daughter is your ability to love yourself. Take back what you have given away, and give it back with love to the one important person who is deserving of all your joy and happiness:
    YOU!

    When we choose to ACT, with love. instead of RE-ACT with fear, we take back the power to choose the way we experience our lives.

    Only then can you step back a pace further and evaluate whether your life with this other person is one which you can build a healthy relationship with or whether it is time to appreciate what you have learned together about
    what is important to your future choices to share a life path with. Appreciating how you have grown by even a painful relationship to know at least what loving another does NOT feel like, you can in your heart and mind forgive him for NOT being, let go of your anger and resentment because you are no longer letting another define your happiness. Finally then in your thoughts, you may now bless and release this person with love and move on in your journey towards learning what love really feels like.. It begins with loving you and I have faith that you will be good at it!

    Lovin' You, Mama D

    Bright Blessings
