I Love You But I Just Don't Like You Anymore...
The relationship between the heart and the mind is a funny, complicated thing. Most people say to follow your heart, it’s because sometimes your mind over analyzes situations to the point where you can’t necessarily trust it. I believe that when we fall in love with another person, we put so much of ourselves into that love that we don’t always know who we’re falling in love with. We love the idea of love so much that we try to make it work even with people who are the absolute worst for us.
Couples fall in love and say they cannot imagine their life without each other. Love is a deep connection, and anyone who has fallen in love understands that you can love someone even when you don’t always like them.
But with time, your partner may begin to annoy you or you begin to see parts of them you don’t like. Whatever the reason, it happens to many of us. Our partner seems to change before our eyes in a way we never thought possible. Which brings us back to Anne Hathaway famous scene where she said: " I Love You But I Just Don't Like You Anymore, Sorry ".
Staying in an unhealthy relationship doesn’t classify you as weak, and Sometimes it takes time to realize that you don’t only want to love somebody but you also want to like them. When you look at somebody you love, you feel connected to them. Like they are a part of you. And that bond doesn’t necessarily go away. But when you look at somebody you love and you also like, they make you feel whole. They complement your existence, yet they don’t overpower it.
I’m not saying that you should have everything in common. But if you literally can’t find one redeeming quality about the person you can’t stop thinking about. Then, it’s time to stop thinking about them. Your heart is forcing you to love them. But your mind just wants to be set free.
You don’t have to love anybody. But You truly want to be with somebody who you not only love but also enjoy.
Liking your partner for life takes more work and action than loving them for life, and that liking is also considered the foundation for a strong relationship. I've never seen a couple who are happy together and doesn’t like one another. However, I have seen many split-ups where the couple still loves one another, but no longer liked each other. Be engaged, stay aware of your partner’s self-growth, and make sure at the end of the day you still like the person you might share your bed with in the future.
