Advice for the lovelorn
(This was some advice that appeared on Yahoo personals. I thought it was very telling. I have begun to realise that he does suck the life force out of me and also that there is a need between us - a sort of hunger - but it's not truly love. I might love him - just because I've been with him so long, but it's not the love I need or am looking for. So buyer beware - there are so many jerks out there).
"Does being with this person add to my life force or do they rob me of my energy?"
A relationship that will sustain us in the long haul should leave us feeling strong and vibrant, not insecure and exhausted. By choosing to surround ourselves with people who feed our life force, we increase our chances of long-term fulfillment.
"Will dating this person bring me long term fulfillment or will it bring me short term gratification?"
Many of us fall prey to going out with people who only fulfill a need in the moment. In order to experience long-term fulfillment, we must create and stand in our vision for the future. Only when we have a clear vision of what we are looking for in a partner can we evaluate whether the person we just met is consistent with that vision.
