Does he (or she) REALly love you??? Let's Answer The Question...


Everyone (well nearly everyone) wants it; everyone needs it; but not everyone experiences it. You can of course guess what I am talking about. It's Love! Wow, does it feel amazing to be genuinely loved. It can change your whole outlook on life when you experience love from a partner, family, or friends.

Many people grow up without experiencing, what I call, REAL Love. Real love is love the verb, and it is non-transactional. As children or adolescents, some of us are exposed to a distortion of what love is. A few examples of this type of "love"are...


Love = simply how much money, gifts, or material possessions someone gives


Love = praising or lusting over someone because of physical attractiveness


Love = attention only for winning, or only if you accomplish something notable


Love = codependency (excessive emotional or psychological reliance on someone)


Love = words (apologizing or telling someone you love them without action to support it)


Love = obligation ("I have to. I've been with him/her for so long. We have kids together.")


FYI* LOVE DOES NOT EQUATE TO THOSE THINGS.

Love is not forced, superficial, material, toxic, or vain.

Early exposure to this kind of "love"causes people to grow up and enter into toxic relationships... or at minimum, they enter or remain in either unfulfilling relationships or relationships that don't reach their fullest potential. These types of relationships occur because one or both people know only a distortion of love and associate love with how much money someone gives them, how much someone needs attention from them physically or emotionally, and so on...

Maybe this person you are thinking of does "love" you, but unfortunately it may not be a love that is healthy OR you two are just not compatible.. two different people in two different places in life.


*Note:

One cannot fault parents forever because of toxic patterns learned from them. Most parents did what they could and what they knew how to do at that time. It is likely that they too experienced distortions of love. It is our job to break the cycle!
