Research Your Past To Have A Better Relationship
I have had quite a few relationships throughout the years until now. I liked all my ex-girlfriends but I believe I now know I could understand why they all ended.
I didn’t really know who I was.
As I was growing up, learning to discover what I enjoyed, who I was and how I lived, I was lost in an uncertain place within myself.
While I did think I knew myself, I was mostly following the flow of life and wasn’t taking into account the compatibility of my personality with that of my girlfriends at the time.
My current relationship is still in its rather new stages compared to many others. The one year mark only passed today. Yet, there are clear signs this is one very different relationship.
Most of my other relationships lasted about 6–7 months and by then, I had always fallen in some pattern of living my life without trying much to go out of my way to surprise, excite or inspire my girlfriend.
Yet, this time, I feel most of my actions are aimed towards one of the above. Writing this blog is an action I am taking for myself as I wish to share with the world, but it also allows me to show her how smaller actions pile up together.
Showing her Paris this week and seeing her constant smile has also renewed once more…
