4 Early Signs That Your Relationship Might Be a Waste of Time
Please don’t repeat my mistakes
Looking back at my first ever serious relationship, I can’t help but wonder how I could be so blind. It took me three years to stop ignoring the signs and admit that it wasn’t going anywhere. They were there from the very beginning, but I chose not to see them.
I would not admit it back then, but the reason for my denial was the fear of ending up alone. It was quite irrational since I was twenty at the moment. But because I’ve never dated anyone prior, I believed that my boyfriend at the time might be the only person that was destined to be my partner.
So I stayed with someone who made me unhappy for three years to learn the hard way that no matter how old you are, settling for someone who doesn’t make you whole is far worse than being alone. Taking a risk is better than spending the rest of your life, wondering if you could ever be happy or feel truly loved.
I don’t believe in soulmates. That concept never resonated with me. But I do believe that there is someone out there who can make you whole. Someone who wouldn’t make you question whether it could be better. But to meet that person, you have to be honest with yourself when it comes to your current relationship.
