Is there a correlation between having a partner and being happy? Some believe that the “trick” to being happy is to have a relationship, as if it will solve all problems: depression, sadness, low self-esteem and so on.

There are those who, in order to feel happy in their relationship, deny and reject all “negative feelings” which have to do with what they don’t like about their bond. But the only way to “be there” in the relationship, to experience it, enjoy it and grow with it (and with your partner) is to see things as they are, acknowledge and accept them.

Sometimes, as you wonder about your relationship with your partner, you might wonder how it goes with others’ relationships: Are your issues similar to theirs? How do others combat, struggle with and solve their problems? How happy others are?

A sad story that often repeats itself regarding one’s search for love and intimacy Her need for attention and appreciation, to be loved and be told how “great” she is has driven her to harm her intimate relationship time and again. She expected too much from her partner; she demanded that he says such and such about her; she was impatient for him to declare his love for her. Her relationships with her partners often ended brutally. As much as it is a sad story, it isn’t actually a “story” but a recurring situation which happens frequently and affects many.

If you have been trying for quite some time now to develop an intimate relationship but are not successful, in most likelihood you keep trying, keep dating others, hoping and praying that one day, eventually, you will succeed. But would you? Is there truly a reason to believe that if you haven’t been successful until now you will succeed, somehow, in the near future? It is very likely that as you continue dating others you will keep behaving in exactly the same ways you have until now; and if you have been failing until now, is there any reason to believe that “suddenly” you will succeed?r

Introduction If you feel there is something in the way you “do” life, your attitudes and the way you behave that hurts your well-being and happiness, becoming aware of what you were not aware of until now is the key to initiate a conscious change in your behavioral patterns, tendencies and attitudes.

A person thinking that his/her partner is “unique”, “special” and “exceptional” might stop thinking it after finding the partner has been unfaithful. After all, he/she has become “just like one of them”, hasn’t he/she? What follows is often sorrow, anger, sadness, confusion, self-doubt, blame, uncertainty, disillusion, and more.

There are those who are “proud” about dating tens if not hundreds of others. They think is shows how “great” they are; how “in demand” they are. Felling “hot” about themselves they turn dating into a game, competing with themselves (as well as with others) about how many dates they will go on; how many people they will meet on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis. But then, the “end-result” is often no-relationship, no true intimacy, no long-term serious and meaningful bond.
