If you are single, and struggling to find someone with whom you connect, you may believe that once you find your person, all romantic worries go away. That’s not true, at all. You know what’s just as scary as wondering if you’ll ever meet someone? Finding the person you’re absolutely, madly in love with, and then realizing you wouldn’t know how to live without that person. No wonder some people have commitment issues! Maybe they aren’t all just jerks like we think. You can’t lose something you never had in the first place. When you do find your partner, and you’ve been together for a long time, you can have some funny and dark thoughts about the future. If you’re in a serious relationship, you probably know what I mean. Don’t feel bad if these things cross your mind.
Oh damn. I’m in this now
You have that moment of realization when you know that if you lost this person tomorrow, it would destroy you. When you were single, if you ended things with a guy you’d only been seeing for a month or two, it hurt for a week. Now, you know that if you lost this partner, it would alter who you are, at your core, permanently.
