Lie to yourself all you want, it’s not hard to tell if he cares.
It’s a simple idea, right? Even an obvious one, but I admit … I just didn’t get it.
Christopher had strung me along for 2 years. I lived in LA and he was in San Francisco. We were an hour apart by air, or 6 hours by car, yet we’d only seen each other twice in that time. It seems crazy now, but back then, it made sense. Well, the truth is I made it make sense. I convinced myself that he was my soul mate and that all I needed was patience and he’d soon come around. There may have been some abandonment issues I was not facing in that scenario.
This is only one of the relationship mistakes I made: waiting for Christopher. I made a few more, all because I desperately wanted my search for love to be over already; I was tired of being single. In my need to make Christopher “the one”, I lost my common sense. I went into a state of denial and stayed there far too long.
Here’s how I created this painful situation for myself.
I let other people’s influence keep me hanging on.
I was desperate to be loved so, anytime my better judgment tried to get my attention I would shut it down. Rather than
Release what’s been standing in the way of finding your special someone.
