If you want a patner who is emotionally healthy and able to relate to you and meet your needs, then you must first be prepared to address that aspect of relating in yourself. Be the healthy emotionally connected person before you put that expectation on another person. This way, you set the standard by which you will be loved . To become the one is about healthy self relating which then transmits same approach to others as a result of self compassion. Know your triggers, know their origins, know what situations trigger you so that you either avoid them or know how to act or respond. To become self compassion is to be able to feel emotionally healthy in oneself and act with the same compassion in relationship and interactions with others. Equally, find out where you are at in life and whether there is space for the relationship of your choice. Do you have time for another human being to spend time with you. What about your care duties, do you have childcare or a way of addressing that? Do you work in such a way that allows you to have someone in your life for long term relationship or if you are just dating? If you do not take the time to know yourself and heal yourself as an act of self love to develop self compassion, then you will find attachment interfering with your purpose. You will find yourself with unrealistic expectations and you will find yourself putting a burden on your partner emotionally. Above all, relationship becomes a source of addictive conflict.
