A third option would be to buy a love potion, I guess.
A fourth option would be to leave off relationships altogether.
Right now, you're choosing to suffer. That's your choice, conscious or not, and I'm not going to stop you from making it. I'm simply going to point out the other options. I'd recommend enjoying it, though. It's much less painful. |
I think...the whole "love" thing just took me by complete surprise. I got into this mess around a year ago, and I'm still completely confused by love and relationships. Many times, when I'm more easy-going and probably more well-balanced, jealous and insecurites barely faze me. However, I have phases...sometimes I'm completely independent of people, then suddenly I get lonely and I'm emotionally needy, which disgusts me in itself. I've always hated clingy people, yet I find myself being that way, then feeling ashamed.
There's nothing wrong with open relationships. I could definitely cope better, if my emotions weren't so heavily invested right now.
I do sometimes have an idealistic, romantic way of thinking. The, "We need each other to live" kind of way of thinking. However, I notice when I'm NOT with this particular person, I am far less idealistic and extremely unconcerned with things like that. I'll still be interested in people romantically, just in a more controlled way, and having an open relationship under those circumstances doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Why is there a link to Deianira in that post?
