Overthinking in a relationship is a problem, but it’s not unbeatable. Use the tips below, to stop spiraling through the cycle of overthinking in your relationship.
Most of us are searching for something, but we don't know what it really looks like. That something is Love. We wonder what will my true love look like, but we don't really know.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why love is so illusive for so many of us. We want it so badly, but we really have no idea what true love looks like.
I wonder how much our inability to find true love is due to the fact that we have the wrong idea of what love really is? After all, most of us come from families that didn't give us good examples; we've been shaped by media that's designed to sell us something, not tell us the truth; our minds want to make us feel good with a hopeful myth rather than acceptance of the hard to swallow truth.
You can get an idea of what will my true love look like in reality with the following social media post, which compares the myths about love with the reality of love.
In searching for what will true love look like, we're going to be misled (and deeply disappointed) if we're looking for more of these myths than the realities. How many of these love myths have you fallen for?
How many of these love realities have you accepted?
The reality of what true love looks like can be a difficult pill to swallow, especially when we're in the midst of a relationship that isn't meeting our expectations -- which are often based on myths. But when we accept the truth that what true love will look like is not perfect, is difficult sometimes, and takes work (sometimes a lot of work to improve a relationship), we open the door to the possibility of experiencing that illusive love we've been chasing.

I have problem with my husband, we are not living together, we have 3months old daughter and both working.
The problem is he never supported our daughter, I pay the nanny, meals for the baby and also medical issues is in me.
I find it hard to ask him for child support. What must I do?
Snakho, You've got to figure out and change what prevents you from expecting him to support and care for his daughter. You may need to speak with a professional counselor to discover the reasons though. Glad to hear you say "our daughter," because she is his too. -Kurt

Marlena, You'll have to ask him what it means to know for sure, but often it means I care about you but not enough to be committed to you. -Kurt
