Does your partner communicate? Have capacity? Is there chemistry and banter in the relationship? Does he have self-awareness and…. a job? (Less about the job and more about ambition/passion and the ability to build something). Yes, yes, yes, but you’ve heard these before. Below are four questions to ask yourself that you may not have heard or thought about.

But first, let’s define what a “relationship” means to you. Today. Not what it did when you were in your early twenties chasing sticky dynamics that stem from a dysfunctional childhood and old wounds.

Basically, we have our definitions of love before all the shit that went down and we have our definitions of love after therapy and our eat love pray journey. Or journeys for most.

If you’re in a place where love means to sacrifice, not have a life, and lose yourself in someone else, then go play that out. No seriously. You’ll get nothing from this article except resistance. You have to experience that shit first hand in order for my words to hit. Or they won’t land for you. Messages have no punch unless you’re ready to hear them. You’ll disagree and blame it on being a hopeless romantic. Something you really like about yourself. I used to do the same.
