The main reason for going to therapy is so I do not repeat my mistakes. To understand my repressed and unrepressed emotions. I want to learn from this and grow as a human being. I do not want to bring this toxicity [emotions, repeating patterns, broken esteem/ego, baggage] into another relationship, so I must work through it.Id be willing to consider that, from what information you’ve given out it sounds like you get into a lot of semi long to long term relationships that end abruptly, correct me if I’m wrong and I’d also like to know if it’s not to personal what you’re therapist thinks is the reason for that and what you think is the reason for that, I’m interested in the kinds of stuff they have to say and their attitude/mindset.
I’ve seen people giving the advice to choose more carefully a lot but you clearly think going into your relationships that it’s gonna work out and the person appears the right way and always says all the right things otherwise you wouldn’t get attached, so being more careful in the selection process might not be what’s needed here.
I apologise if I mislead with any of my wording, most of my life has been short term fun, and my ex was my first serious relationship.
All of the ending of the relationships was initiated by me. The reasons varied from I was immature/wasn't ready for a relationship/I wanted male validation - to ungratefulness on their part - to lack of respect, and different life goals. I might explore further on this at some point, I believe there [unfortunately] are a lot of childhood wounds contributing to all of the above.
My therapist believes the ending to my last relationship was moreso due to lack of respect rather than differing life goals and put an emphasis on this.
You are correct in the sense that I attach quickly and am naive, but that is partly due to childhood lack of love.
This is actually a topic of discussion with my therapist and understanding just how casual dating is/should be, particularly in modern times. I am definitely on scale 100 when it should be 10, lol.
