We have always heard that the only person we can change is
ourselves.
But do we absorb that information? Do we really internalize it?
No!
Instead we fall in love with someone whose flaws drive us
crazy, and then we spend our time making ourselves even more crazy trying to
figure out why he does what he does!
You love your boyfriend but you are upset because he:
Is always late
He lies
He cheats
He drinks
He is emotionally or physically abusive
He disappears for days or weeks at a time and then returns
as though nothing has happened
He is cheap
He smokes or drinks or does drugs
He gambles
He has double standards - expecting behaviors and virtues
from you that he doesn’t display himself
You struggle to understand him and why he acts the way he
does
- Why he talks to you the way he does or why he walks away from you the way
he does?
You read up on personality types and what makes them tick
and how you can get along with them and why they are the way they are.
You consult a therapist to figure out how to “handle” your
boyfriend. ($$$)
Girl, he is not the problem! The problem is that you are
choosing to be with Mr. Wrong!
Why are you attracted to him?
Why are you sticking with him when you should have thrown in
the towels ages ago?
What are YOUR issues? That is the only question you should
be asking, and YOU are the only person you
should be working on fixing.
If he is screwed up, yet you keep sticking with him and
wondering how to make it better, then you better take a good look at yourself
and ask WHY are you putting up with this behavior?
If you are are attracted to a man whose behavior makes you unhappy then please spend your time and money on trying to find out what your underlying issues are.
Mr. Right will feel Right and you wont have to research or reform him.
