Why We Like to Meet People’s Significant Othersfeatured
I have been in a relationship for over 5 years. It is the first time in my life that I am proud to bring someone around my friends and family. He is my everything and treats me like a queen, I guess that makes all the difference.
I always think it is interesting meeting other people’s significant others. Are they kind? Are they quirky? Are they tolerant? I mean, they do say tell me who you surround yourself with so I can tell you who you are.
Personally, I think it is awesome to meet significant others because it gives you a closer glimpse into who that person really is in their heart. If there is one thing I know to be true it’s that we only accept the love we think we deserve.
When I see who people choose to love I feel like I can gauge their love for themselves. Also, we tend to attract people with similar levels of physical attractiveness and that is always fun to see too.
I like meeting and knowing the most I can about those around me because of the fact that I want to know what drives them-and if I can understand them on a deeper level, I feel I can communicate with them in a way that they can identify with and respond to best.
Not only that, but who doesn’t like to make others feel good about themselves? I like to lift people up and a little part of that is knowing the world they came from and the world they are creating for themselves now.
I used to create hell for myself. My significant other reflected that. My food choices reflected that. My non-existent exercise regimen reflected that. My life decisions reflected it the most. I was self-destructive and self-loathing. This was all part of my personal journey and I know people could see where I was at that point in my life.
Looking back, how embarrassing, right? I am thankful regardless. What people thought of me then or think of me know is irrelevant. I love myself and my life partner more than I ever thought possible. And I hope you feel the same.
My favorite thing ever is to hear complaints about a significant other before I meet them. Remember, we all end up mirroring the person or persons we choose to have in our lives. Complaints can actually turn out to be retrospection.
Significant others are always fun to meet, especially when it comes to communities like the gym, school, or work. I honestly don’t think you can really know someone until you take a look at who they have chosen to love. Imagination can only take us so far. And perception can sometimes be completely off.
Do you care about meeting people’s significant others?
Love Deeply and Forever,
Karen
