But, behind every “it’ll get better,” and all the fights that go unsolved, we realize that slowly, maybe the person we love is not the person we want them to be. It happens, slowly, and creeps up on you-you don’t realize it until it hits you in the face like a punching bag.
You may think that you love someone with all of your heart—and, find out, that you love their potential more than you love them. Think of all the aspects about them that you resent, the ones that drive you insane…how do you cope with them?
Do you tell yourself that the longer you’re together, the more he will “tone it down?” You tell yourself that time will fix whatever it is that truly keeps you up at night, worried, anxious, and unsatisfied.
