Love Expectations ?

It's pretty normal to feel some way about love after a bad experience with love. We set high expectations for love because it's something we think about often. We are humans, and we have our version of how love should be. We tend to forget that when come finally meet our partner that our backgrounds are entirely different and we show love differently. We don't think the same and of course we aren't going to love the same. However, they way we reciprocate love to one another is how we figure if this is someone I want to settle down with and grow in love with for a lifetime. We all have our love language and what suits us to feel comfortable and secure with our partner. I know for myself I would always say how I want my partner to be and how I want them to love me. Everyone has their particular way of expressing love. Your partner isn't going to love how you love necessarily. Sometimes your partner isn't going always to meet those expectations you have set for them either. Remember love is about accepting the flaws of one another and learning their love language. It's good to remember the small things that make them laugh or make them feel secure with you. It's good to express the things you like so you both have a good understanding. Don't ever for a second think that someone is going to do the same things you do. WE are DIFFERENT! Honestly, it's hard sometimes accepting that fact that everyone doesn't have the same heart as you do. You expect people to treat you and love you the same way you love them. Think about it this way what would the world be like if we were all the same. The way your partner loves you could teach you a different way to express love to other people. Whatever you lack they don't, and whatever they lack you don't. I could imagine dating/marrying someone who was EXACTLY like me. I mean honestly what fun would that be. I'm saying all of this to say that no one is going to love you the same way you love them. Feelings and all that may be mutual but never the same. It will take some time to accept that. I'm still learning to accept it.
