"Don't tie all your happiness to anybody, not even your husband"
****************************************

Yes, I know I am looking for trouble but it is what it is, do not tie all your happiness to anybody.

It is very common to have people who have either been mis-sold the concept of love or who are naïve enough to claim all their happiness is tied to their partner.

You need to be selfless in love, true.
You need to give your all, true.
However, you also need to be sensible in love and that is the biggest truth hidden away.

Love can be parasitic where one person truly loves another who doesn't reciprocate but that's not love you are getting, you are just giving it.
To get love back while you are giving it, the relationship needs to be symbiotic, you give, you get.

You can tie your happiness to a man or woman and it will go well until he or she starts to hurt you emotionally or even physically.
What happens then?

A better way to go about it is to love yourself first then let the love you have for your partner be because you love yourself enough to want him or her. While we don't pray for anything to happen, if it does, it just becomes one vacant branch of love.

Will it affect you? Yes, a bit.
Will it take you down? No.

Say you have a wife, children, passion, parents, etc, but you tie majority of your happiness to one person or thing (say 70%). What happens if that person suddenly hurts you in a manner that's relatively irreparable? You are left with 30%. It will break you.
On the other hand if it is split equally and it's just 20% loss, you have 80% left of your life.

Don't mix it up, give 100% of the allocation for partner to him or her. But let that be only a portion of the total happiness in your life.
****************************************

Scenario:
2010 - Get a source of income: "my husband takes care of me"

2013 - Develop your skills: "what am I looking for?"

2015 - Go back to school: "I am already married and comfortable, what am I looking for?"

2017: "He left me with all the children, where do I start from?" Is it at this age I will start looking for a job with a BSc and no experience or skill. Where do I get a capital if I want to start a business? How do I cope?

Even the bible says it is a grievous sin to put all your hope in man. That man, that woman who you want to tie all your happiness to is also a human being like you: fallible and flawed.

Would you like someone tying all their hope on you, knowing you are but a flower in the sun?

Love should be symbiotic. What waters love and causes it to grow is love in itself.

Love them 100%, but also love yourself 100%.

Wrong theory.... Your write-up is not applicable to reallfe situation. Where is the trust if you dont give it all?

I have always maintain my stand that when it comes to wife/hunband/girl/boy relationship, anything that makes you happy is welcome even if other people see it as bad/wrong.

Na wetin I talk. Love your partner with all your heart, but don't tie all your happiness to them. In loving them, also love yourself so that your relationship doesn't become parasitic.
