Sara Singh, I am also with you and I can quite understand you. I myself am going through painful break up with my wife. May be when I got married, I would have said I gave 200% in the relationship. But the point is the relationship does not work, if there is no balance between giving and receiving. Relationship works only when I take care of myself and am gentle on myself. Throughout the marriage, my wife used to accuse me a lot but during that period I used to feel guilty also for not being able to satisfy her. That was unhealthy from my side. What I didn't know then was what is in for my Highest good is the same for my wife's Highest good also.

Relationship works when both the partners first take care of themselves, love and value themselves and then radiate that love to the other partner. But not by giving away a lot. I learn this in a hard way. But one thing I know now is, if I am to go for a relationship again, the first thing I do is try to understand my partner and know more about her outlooks and based on that I can learn whether she will be happy in relationship. I know that I will be fully committed and I will improve being more and more caring, compassionate, gentle, tender and understanding with anyone but still she will be happy only if she is committed to take care of herself and being loving and valuing herself instead of expecting me to value her.

Sara, For you, you can do better by practicing being more gentle and tender on yourself.

Hey thanks for those words.
I m sorry that your are going through this hard time.I have never been married n I am not aware of that commitment yet but mines was 4 month long association with person. I believe I gave too much , changed myself, I forgot about my own personal goals and concentrated on just one thing. But the other person didn't. He didn't maybe bz he was right n moderate in his approach. And we should live life like that only in balanced way and should never overindulge ourselves into anything.
I agree with you bz you have to love yourself first and all I did was, found faults in myself when I didn't use to get what I expected. Infact this is where I feel I went wrong. I went one step ahead in doing things n expected the same but rarely got same response n that used to piss me off . It turned me into this negative person where I use to frequently taunt other person. On whole I ruined my health, lost my goals and turned into this negative person which I never was before. Sad part was other person never understood that it was all bz he was not doing atleast as much as I was and tagged me as Negative person who gets overwhelmed with situations(His own family disagree with him lol). After such experience n looking at men around me, I feel that most men are born uncompassionate (or maybe I m too emotional)..idk..how true that is but I had such experiences.
But for sure I have learned a lot from this experience. May be I wasn't right person for such situation. I would like to become right person first who cares n loves herself first to transmit it to anyone else.

do. I expect them to do show same amount of passion as I do which they can't because they are not made like that n they can't be me bz they are what they are. I know that very well n I need to stop expecting from people and rather change myself first or kick them out of my life. Yes I do feel that Life is a b****** but what can I or anybody do ...we have to deal with it and move on. Its easy to do say but at least the thought motivates you to learn and improve current situation


Sara 🤗...Nice to see you here after long time.

Don't blame yourself for being an emotional fool. At some point in life,everyone goes through same phase. Expecting from your loved ones & close friends are normal,but most time expectations leads to disappointment. We can't blame the other person always for disappointing us,they never asked us to expect anything from them in first place. But it's hard to make them understand that sometime one can't help,but start expecting from their closed ones or with whom we are emotionally attached.
We can only have expectation from ppl whom we know well or trust. But now my experience is that,it's better not to expect anything at all. Just do what you want to in life & live life in your terms. Don't try to change yourself for other person. Bcoz if they value you & value the relationship they share with you,they will stick with you & love you for what you are. If they don't value you,then doesn't matter how much you change yourself,they will walk out of your life sooner or later.

It's better not to depend on anyone for your happiness. Don't hold onto their memories,let them go,or you will never be able to move on completely in life.

It's quite strange but true that we end up writing more about those who hurt us than those who love us. Sometimes, life becomes all about an act of letting go. It will be wrong if we are upset bcoz of those who know how we felt,but don't care about our feelings.

I read one quote,& i truly believe this.

"Some scars, they start healing when you stop taking care of them."

Heyy... Nishu🤗
Great to see you!

You are absolutely right. Those words actually make lot of sense. We in general expect from our close ones and when don't get expected response , we get disappointed . Infact its better not to expect anything at first place and just be thankful to god for all lovely relationships we have.
I just finished reading The Alchemist and it gives same message. If something is meant for you, then it will stay with you or will come back to you even in worst of situations. So better stick to achieving goals and be person who you really are instead of pleasing other people.

And yup its funny how often we end up discussing person who disappoint /hurt us more.
And I know its gone be hard right now but I believe this phase will pass n I hope I will come out as stronger person. To divert attention...when is Big Boss 7 starting..desperately waiting for it!

"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be." - Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I believe that quote describes everybody's lives in the sense that we can't always be happy and we can't always be sad. Yet when we're dismal, they are wee moments in those bad days in which we feel like we're the happiest being that's walking around right now. Likewise, when we're really happy, some moments are really, well, devastating? So, I am straight faced a lot. But when I laugh, I laugh really so hard.

That's how it goes.

Happiness is like a gust...athe hey chale jate hey... It is a method of life...its nt getting what you want, it is wanting what you've got...its comes from the changes we make for ourselves, not the changes that people want from us...its a state of mind...Cool.😊

I am grateful for the short time that I have on this earth and strive to do what I like in it. Everyday is struggle but you tackle it one at a time. Surround yourself with people who are positive, find what you love and do it (pun intended). It will not happen overnight (it hasn't happened for me), but the mere thought that you are steering your life in the direction you desire is motivating enough. Godspeed.

I think life would be better if we remember that there is someone somewhere who is in a position much worse than us.
However, easier said than done.
