There are so many broken marriages and repeated divorces because men and women
bring to their marriages their unresolved traumas, wounds, and losses from their
childhood that they thought were permanently buried. They go into their relationship
with a hidden agenda looking to their partner to fix, repair their wounds, fill
them up and make them whole. These expectations are as unconscious as they are
unrealistic. A breakup is inevitable with both parties casting blame outside
themselves.
The lesson must be learned. The work is to understand yourself and be able
to identify your unresolved issues that pertain to your personal histories.
Then you can heal and fill up your own inner emptiness. When you lovingly give
to yourself and fill up your own pail, you are more prepared to choose and have
a healthy relationship bond. I challenge readers to view this ending as a wake-up
call and an opportunity to awaken to your deeper self.
