I heard a woman make the comment and I quote, “I am now off the market, I have found someone that completes me, please respect my relationship”. Seriously? Did someone really feel the need to put that out there, number one and number two: how can someone complete you?
I’m OK with someone wanting to shout to the world that they are in love, that’s beautiful and you should be happy about your relationship. My problem is the statement, you complete me, I mean that was great in Jerry Maguire, but that was a movie, not real life. The statement means you were never whole in the first place and who really wants someone that needy.
You have made someone else responsible for your happiness and unhappiness and every other emotion and feeling you have because without them you are broken. Talk about a lot of pressure; people have to be careful about the words they put out in the universe or even the pressure they put on a relationship.
What you should be looking for is someone that compliments who you are and vice versa, your significant should be able to help you through troubling times but not carry you. If the person you are with turns into your counselor, lover, friend, mother, father, etc, then your dating site relationship will not last long at all. No one wants to be everything to you; they want to be able to give you the love they have for you. There is a difference in loving someone in spite of their issues as opposed to loving someone because of them. The only person that can complete you is you, so work on you and let your mate work on showering you with love.
