Why do we sometimes get involved with someone who doesn't quite fulfill our needs?

As a result, when something is missing in a relationship we tend to hold off with making a permanent commitment to that relationship.
We may still live, love, and laugh, but both partners may feel some emptiness. We may feel so unsettled by it that we fail to

communicate about the issues. Especially if what's missing is some strong need that we may be ignoring.

Get in Touch with Your Needs
Some people think we are commitment phobic. In reality, we have no problem building and holding on to long-term relationships. But they go nowhere. Something important is missing.
What's missing may be some strong need of ours that we don't even realize we have. Something we don't want to be without. It’s important to know what this strong need is or else we may remain stuck.
It’s important to know what this strong n

eed is. We need to either accept not having it or recognize that we can’t live without it and stop wasting time with an unsuitable partner. Especially if it's not contributing to the life we want.

If you are generally happy with things and you just have that feeling something is missing, the first thing to do is understand why that feeling is there. It may be an easy way to determine what you need to change and how to change it.
Some people are powerless; they can’t make the required changes because they never get in touch with what's wrong.

Give this some thought. Do you end up always feeling that something is missing but you can't quite figure out what it is? Do you have a strong need for something that’s so important that you can’t imagine living without it?
That might be what's standing in the way, but to have a better relationship you have to know what it is. It may be helpful for you to get in touch with it.

You might keep searching for a perfect partner in vain if you don't know what is your absolute necessity. This is something you would feel deep inside—your gut feelings.

You'll never know what’s preventing your success for a healthy relationship if you don't focus on this need. You’ll end up going from partner to partner without fully involving yourself in any relationship. Does this sound like the pattern of your life?
