Relationships can be confusing and tie you up in knots. Let me try to explain.
Daniel meets Emily in a bar. Daniel likes Emily.
But for some sad reason, Daniel can’t have Emily. End of story?
No, because Daniel can’t accept that Daniel can’t have Emily.
So if Daniel can’t accept he can’t have Emily and he can’t have Emily, what happens next?
Daniel needs to choose what happens next, but Daniel can’t choose because Daniel can’t accept the things he’s have to accept to choose what happens next…
Well, you can see how quickly a difficulty can seem like an impossible situation in a relationship between a man and a woman. Expectations, limits, pride, love. Who wins when persistence meets huge barriers? I’ve attended a seminar on understanding and perhaps resolving these difficult binds. There is more to come on the next seminar and I’m looking forward to dealing with these terrible but fascinating relationship issues.
But what should Daniel do? If he can start to understand the bind he’s in, he can do something about it. There is quite a bit of self-awareness on that road and it’s an effort to go down it, but it it comes to some sort of resolution, perhaps I’ll travel down it with Daniel some day.
