You have to understand that love just isn’t enough to sustain a relationship. You NEED trust. Reciprocation. You need compassion and reassurance to feel secure in a relationship. You need to feel cared about and respected. If those elements are missing? Love won’t be enough.

“We really love eachother!” Okay, but you’re still feeling incredibly insecure in the relationship. You’re still feeling deprived of fundamental things. You still don’t trust them. You’re paranoid. You consistently feel frustrated and on edge. What’s love got to do with that?

Relationships can be so frustrating and confusing. If you don’t understand what I’m saying here in this thread....then you’ve never felt the agony of feeling like you genuinely love somebody who isn’t meeting your needs. They can love you too and still not change. It’s painful.
