Hello, Thrivers. This is Laura Monk with Thrive Therapy and Counseling. And in this podcast today, I wanted to talk about how we generally expect one person to meet all our needs. And we have basically bought into an illusion and a fairy tale about how relationships should be and look. And before we meet someone, this can happen. Like, this is the type of person I'm looking for
And actually, she probably doesn't know because right from the giddy up, you started doing what you was doing and you probably don't talk about your friends much, and because you don't go see them, she don't even know that you spend that time in the evening times or whatever and vice versa. The same thing goes with the female in the equation, so it can go so many different places. So I got to keep my support system

And it's true ever since I can remember, friends and even family sometimes always complains that when we're in relationships, we have so much less time for them. And that's normal and natural. When we get into a relationship with someone where there's only 24 hours in a day, and a lot of that time gets dedicated to our new partner, especially in the beginning stages, the honeymoon stage

It's like we sort of expect subconsciously a lot of things that we cannot even provide ourselves with and it seems like a burdened, family relationships seems like a burdened with all of those with all things considered. So I think before anyone jump into a relationship we should try to set our horn standards, our horn grains of happiness and try to be a good companion for ourselves before becoming a good companion for your beloved one
