This is so true and something I have only recently realised after a succession of failed relationships. I heard a great quote recently: ‘For us to be a we I have to be a me’. I’m now demonstrating love for myself by looking after my physical and mental health, saying ‘no’ when I need to, letting go of toxic friendships, pursuing my neglected creative passions like music and art. At the same time I am holding a place in my heart for my future beloved. Thanks for posting this!

Hi William Shane

I agreed with what you said, I have too had failed relationships because i relay my happiness and emotions solo on him, that’s made him stress up and broke up with me. I thought that the way I love would be best for the guy, and I nv knew it made him stress and suffered instead.

Please share with me how do you think I should do in order to improve myself, to love myself more and to be perfectly ok and happy alone with myself.
