Don't be the only one

Recently I had a conversation with someone about relationships and balance.  They were flustered because they felt like they were the only one in the relationship.  As I listened, I quickly could relate to their feelings.

The first one might not seem like a huge deal, but if you are the only one in the relationship taking pictures of the two of you as a couple 🚩#1.

If you’re the only one in the relationship who plans vacations, date nights or anniversaries 🚩#2

If you’re the only one to initiate intimacy 🚩 #3

If your partner ignores your feelings and try’s to explain away your thoughts as paranoia, silliness or stupidity 🚩 #4

If your partner only shows interest in you when someone else shows interest 🚩 #5

If your partner never asks you to go places with them 🚩 #6

If your partner ignores your personal preferences and insists that you try food, drinks or activities that they want 🚩 #7

If you buy your partner gifts and surprise them, but you have to tell them what you want and order it yourself 🚩 #8

If they are always focused on their needs (financial, medical, emotional or physical) and continually forget yours 🚩 #9

If you find that you have spent years forgiving this person for hurting you, but they expect you to be perfect 🚩#10

These are just a few of the red flags I could relate to during the conversation.  It is hard to be in a relationship where you feel alone.  You deserve better, and you do not have to accept this behavior as the typical norm!

We have to stop meeting like this....

Tonight I talked to myself.  I said,” self, why do you feel the way you do?”  Then I said,” self, we have to stop meeting like this because it's one o'clock in the morning”!  I laughed because regardless of the predicament I find myself in, sometimes I don't understand why I do the things I do. Have you ever had a random thought and wondered, “why did I think about that?.  I try to ignore my random thoughts and feelings, but sometimes they just come out when I least expect it. Example 1 ~ When I forget to take my medication, I feel everything.  The depression, sadness, and pain flood in, and all I can do is cry myself to sleep. Example 2 ~ I was watching season three of Anne with an E tonight, and it hit me.  I was crying and feeling very sad.  I should be happy because it was a beautiful ending. However, my mind was thinking about how they loved each other in their youth and found each other again. Right now, in my life, love songs and anythi...

Engaged

  You read it right!  I am engaged!  Patrick Flatt is my fiancΓ©!  Life has changed so much since Christmas.  I have never been so in love and felt so much love from any man.  Patrick is the mostly loving and kind man that I have ever known.  Well except for my grandpa Phil and it would be impossible to completely match my grandpa!  We have set a date for September 20, 2026.  I pray we will be able to get married in the church my great grandparents (Stevens) started years ago in Monterey, Tennessee.  I could write all day about the unselfish love Patrick shows me, but you really have to meet him.  Well I am off to spend more time with the grandchildren. Much Love, Tina Louise
