A few months later, they got together for a romantic weekend. Not surprisingly, Paulina was having far more trouble losing her fantasy than the texts.
Why can’t they be the way they were in the first couple of months, she asks?
They observe if their connection to the other person feels like love (good) or obsession (bad).
If it feels like obsession, they drop it like it’s hot.
Instead, it is more like you are gasping for air, desperately hoping they’ll give you whatever it is you think you need from them.
Granted, even good relationships have a little bit of fixation mixed in with them (I must emphasize a little bit), but it is only during very occasional occurrences like arguments or when one or both partners are stressed.
In general, though, compatible people have very little, if any, fixation in their relationships…
While this makes for good entertainment, it isn’t real life. My instincts were right – he said he guessed things weren’t working then (all by texts/emails, not even phone calls) and we should be friends. 2) He’s making no effort to see you, commit to you, or grow your relationship. After communication seemed like work I simply said he didn’t seem interested. But it still seemed like work on my part and I would be upset when he didn’t communicate so I said his lack of communication made me feel like I didn’t matter to him.Most of the love stories we see in pop culture are rooted in infatuation…not real love.Some degree of infatuation is fine, but a relationship entirely rooted in infatuation is usually doomed.
