Remember when you first fell in love with your Ex (or Exes), and you thought you've found the perfect match, the love of your life? You envisioned a future filled with laughter, adventure, and unconditional support. But fast-forward a few months (or years), and reality hits you like a ton of bricks. The late-night conversations turn into silent treatments, the romantic getaways become solo Netflix binges, and the 'I love you's' become awkward silences. You're left wondering, 'What happened to the person I fell in love with?' or 'Was it all just a lie?'
So, you're thinking about your past relationships and wondering what went wrong? Yeah, we've all been there - replaying the highlights (and lowlights) in our heads, trying to figure out where things took a turn for the worse.
Here's the thing: most of the time, it comes down to one simple thing - unmet expectations. We all have certain hopes and assumptions about how our partner will show up in the relationship, often based on our own needs, desires, and past experiences. We might unconsciously expect them to be supportive in certain ways, or to understand us intuitively. But when reality doesn't meet these expectations, it can lead to disappointment and confusion.
Maybe you thought you'd be the priority, but you ended up feeling like an afterthought. Maybe you expected fireworks in the bedroom, but things fizzled out (pun intended). Or maybe you thought you'd be building a life together, but it turned out you were on different pages (or even different books!).
The point is, we've all had our expectations shattered at some point or another. And it hurts. But here's the good news - it's not the end of the world!
It's just a chance to learn, grow, and find someone who actually gets you (and your quirks)."
