Can you genuinely love someone and still feel unfulfilled in the relationship?
I think sometimes we confuse unconditional love with the idea that we shouldn't have needs, expectations, or conditions in our relationships.
That if we really love someone, we should accept them exactly as they are and be happy with what they can offer.
But unconditional love and relational fulfillment are two very different things.
In this week's episode of Let's Talk Attachments, I share my own experience of being in a seven-year relationship where there was a lot of love and good, but also things I deeply wanted that were missing.
And the internal conflict I experienced between honoring my commitment and honoring my own truth.
We explore what unconditional love actually means, why relational fulfillment has conditions, and how to recognize when acceptance starts turning into self-abandonment.
Because you can love someone, appreciate who they are, and still recognize that the relationship isn't right for you.
