you cannot create a healthy relationship with someone who believes love is only a feeling and not also a decision they must keep making. people who see love that way often expect relationships to run on chemistry alone. they assume that if two people are right for each other, everything should come naturally, conflict should be minimal, and effort shouldn’t be necessary. they struggle when disagreements arise because they mistake difficulty for incompatibility. but real relationships require communication, accountability, patience, and the willingness to work through uncomfortable moments together. even with the right person, you’ll have to confront your fears, recognise your unhealthy patterns, learn to listen better, and grow beyond the person you were before. love might begin with a feeling, but sustaining it takes intention, commitment, and consistent action.
