I played out realistic scenes of romance with my dolls, watched movies based on romantic love, and dreamed up fantasies of how we'd meet. I was certain that when I fell in love, it would be with the perfect person.
#2 When a relationship is not working, it's usually because one or both of the partners have not been able to honor the self or the other in the relationship. We often make the choice to honor the other person, but not ourselves. #3 When we first enter into a relationship, we are on fire with happy hormones that encourage us to fuse with the other person. We love them for what we feel, not necessarily for what we know.
Our brains are wired to connect above all else. #4 As we move into the second stage, realization, we start to see who our partner really is. Some of what we see, we like, and some, we do not. We might believe our partner misled us, or perhaps they think we misled them.
