An ex-lover once told me he‘ll look for someone who can take care of him better. I can‘t help but think bout it for days. Why do we get into a relationship looking for someone to be responsible of ourselves. Aren‘t we suppose to make sure we‘re already established before we search for a life partner.
Prolly we conditioned ourselves into thinking that finding a significant other means looking for someone to take care of us, complete us, fill our emptiness or perhaps provide whatever it is that we lack. But remember; we are not meant to be a burden, but a partner. We don‘t go into a relationship thinking they‘ll generate us our concept of contentedness (eg. Someone to take care of us) bec in that case, we‘ll reach a point of dissatisfaction. Our desires will constantly change. And one can only do so much.
Maybe that‘s the reason why most relationships fail or maybe not. Idk.
