We stay in relationships that don’t fulfill us, are toxic, or we have outgrown for many different reasons. Some examples are: Better the devil I know, than the devil I don’t know (Fear & Fear of Conflict) I’m too old, who wants to start over and do all that work ? (Comfort Zone) It’s not…
Unconditional love seems to be mired in misconceptions. When defined it says to love another despite their faults, shortcomings and circumstances and to love without expecting anything in return.
