Expectations too high?

Postby noreally_imfine » Wed Oct 30, 2013 10:13 pm

I LOVE being in love. Two most powerful feelings I've ever had are being in love and anger. Oh boy, what a terrible combo!

Anywho, I want and crave love SO MUCH that when I have it, when I have a boyfriend i feel insatiable. I feel like he never does enough or says the things I want him to say. Maybe Im just stuck in some fantasy world?

Also, I am so insecure with myself that I am terrified he will live me or want someone who is much better than me.

I want love so badly that when I have it I'm just afraid ill lose it.

help?

noreally_imfine -

I think you answered your own question.

Your BF probably really cares about you but it's just not possible for him (or anyone) to alleviate deep seated insecurities in ourselves. Most people have some insecurities, so you are in good company ;) But when they get in the way of our relationships, the only person that can really resolve our issues is ourselves.

Having you considered talking with a therapist to try and better understand your fear/insecurities?

noreally_imfine,


One thing you have to realize is most relationship you're in are not going to be fairy-tale perfect. Everyone comes with baggage, and while it's not the best way to think about it, it's true. The other thing I would like to point out is we don't talk to our partners enough about what we want from them. Every successful relationship is full of appreciation and honesty, and when you can tell them what you're looking for, you're more likely to get more out of it.
I hope this could help you out! Good luck!
