Love Unraveled: The Tables Always Turn

Life has an uncanny way of reminding us that just when we think we have love—our favorite topic—figured out, BAM, a new revelation slides in and takes a seat.

Let me explain. Finally, when life handed me exactly what I think I wanted in the form of Mr. Right, I realize my needs have completely changed.

For the last few years, I had a vision of the perfect partner for me: handsome, real chemistry, financially independent, and completely head-over-heals for me. And, one day, like a miracle, in he sauntered, lavishing gifts and attention, and proclaiming his love in a forever kind of way. Wow, what girl wouldn’t want that? So, what is wrong you ask?

How do I explain the imbalance of power in this type of relationship, where a guy like Mr. Glam will go to the ends of the earth for me, move to another country, and even give up his career? Screech, put on the brakes. While this is flattering to the tenth degree, I want a man that keeps his own feet on the ground. To be smitten is one thing. To completely forgo his life for me is unsettling. Want to know the ironic thing?

I used to be that for men. I’d give away my power, become the “perfect” girlfriend, give up my hobbies, free time, and any mental space not reserved for him. Today, I’ve grown into my own personal power, have a career, know my inner self, and not only won’t sacrifice my spirit, don’t want a guy to do that for me.

Wow, what a revelation. While this may look like a sad ending, it is the beginning of a new awakening for me. When He walks in with both feet on the ground, holds onto his own power, and wants to merge not lose himself to me, I know I will be waiting with open arms.

Check in with me every month, and I will offer some of the amazing tips I learned from interviewing Dr. John DeMartini, Dr. Pat Allen, Robert Greene and Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil.
