Question: Dear Betty, I have a sinking feeling in my gut that my girlfriend of 2 years that I’ve been pouring my heart into just can’t give me what I need. What should I do?
Seeing unresolvable unmet needs in your relationship is a tough place to be. I understand you’ve been there, giving it your all – the love, the attention, trying to make them a priority. But no matter how hard you try, it feels like you’re pushing a boulder uphill. Maybe they can’t match your level of commitment, or their idea of honesty doesn’t quite align with yours. It’s not just about the physical stuff, either. The emotional connection you crave seems just out of reach, it’s a real wake-up call. It makes you question everything – are you asking for too much, or are they just not capable of meeting you halfway? In the end, it’s about recognizing your own worth and understanding that sometimes, no matter how much you care, you can’t fill someone else’s cup if theirs has a hole in it. It’s time to move onto someone that has the capacity to meet your needs.
