Such a profound realization and insight. You're right about placing too much expectation on that one significant other, and also how much we moms need to learn to also lavish time & energy on our lovers who scream for our attention in different ways.... perhaps we unconsciously feel depleted and mildly resentful at always being the giver and therefore withhold? I know I have certainly have done that - and paid the price. When we lavish love and time ans attention on OUR OWN NEEDS our cup literally overflows and all this gets easier. Thank you for such an open, honest and real sharing. Hugs.
thank you @artemislives for sharing your wisdom with me
that is so true and something I am not very good at xx
But you are AWARE and that is a beginning. Filing you own cup is especially important because you need to model that for your beautiful girls. Be kind to yourself. Much love.
