You wanted flowers, chocolates, a fancy restaurant and a love note would have been nice...
But, instead you got zip, nadda, zilch....or a last minute flower from the servo on the way home.
Just another Valentine's that didn't live up to your expectations?
And you find yourself making excuses, justifying why, comparing yourself and your relationships to others...
This is just what I have been speaking about and sharing with my clients.
Why is there so much importance placed on one day? What about the 364 others, don't they count?
What about all the little things you do for each other throughout the year.
There is so much pressure placed on yourself and your partner at Valentine's.
It leads to expectations, and when they aren't met, you give it meaning - they don't love me, I'm not appreciated, other people have romantic partners.
You feel disappointed and your partner feels judged, not good enough, and pressured to live up to a standard.
It leads to resentment and becomes an obligation rather than the heartful display of affection that you really want.
The thing is, this isn't LOVE. True love doesn't come with conditions.
True love only comes when you can love yourself unconditionally. It will allow you to give and receive love unconditionally.
You'll no longer need external validation and that is FREEDOM - for you and your partner.
