In recent weeks Shannon, matchmaker and date coach, has spoken about recognising when a relationship is toxic and knowing when to get out – fast! today we chat about how to leave it behind forever and truly start again. Like a sore tooth, we “worry it” with our tongue and maybe the pain is enjoyable in a perverse way (just like a toxic relationship), until it gets fixed, then the relief is palpable. How long do we wait to fix it though?
Every single who has ever crossed our path has had some disappointment in love, whether just an amenable parting because not meant to be, tragic loss, or there has been abuse, use, exploitation, manipulation, betrayal, lies and deceit that became the equivalent of a nuclear war.
When love turns to obsession, jealousy and hate, the only result is mass destruction. To each person the pain is equally deep, we cannot say it is a small pain or huge pain, pain is pain to each of us, and we need to deal with banishing the root cause. Your matchmaker knows the secrets to work past it!
Are we dating with Agendas or seriously looking for lasting love?
Funny thing is people date for different reasons, and may not even know it! Maybe they just like being popular (collecting “scalps”) or enjoy a quick conquest with no intention of investing, maybe it is to “own” and show-off a prize other, or they are experimenting, or maybe it is to make the ex jealous, get revenge and cause more of the same old toxic patterns because the drama is exciting, or maybe it is the biological clock and “baby fever” – well, any of these agendas do not fall under the heading of “seeking a healthy and happy future” whether shared or not.
We need to feel happy in our hearts – even if alone. When we use the alone time to work on our dating image and plans, then we know “alone” is not forever ……someone out there will WANT TO SHARE our happiness and be part of it!! Attraction happens!!
Until we turn our backs on the past, forgive and forget and move on, old pain never heals and this is what we call a “blockage” because new love has no chance until healed, the wound festers.
And love is an energy that flows between two beings, until we let go and open up, we risk being blocked by walls of resistance. When we celebrate a new beginning and allow the love energy to flow with no barriers to trust – it does flow!!
Being in Love is a commitment, fear and angst has no place in a new love.
Fear, insecurity, low self-esteem, lack of confidence and all the “bad energy” we all suffer from, has a root in disappointment in love ….even as children, if we are not fully loved and supported, this plays out in our mature years, until we fix it. We become people pleasers, co-dependents …..and much more….even narcissistic. “It is not me, it is them”. As matchmakers and coaches we speak to many, those that are grumpy, the “unhappies”, disappointed and discontented, and taking it out on others is “acting out” and not the winning way to earn trust.
