How to better appreciate a partner in an environment that is not particularly happy for growth?

Good morning, I am Fly, a heart exploration coach. Thank you for sharing your emotional experiences with me.

It is evident that there is a desire to enhance one's capacity to love and interact harmoniously with the opposite sex. Given that love is a capability, it can be developed through learning, training, and cultivation.

Let us commence our exploration of this topic with a warm embrace.

?1. All individuals possess their own inherent patterns.

Every individual possesses a unique set of inherent patterns, behavioral patterns, emotional patterns, and thinking patterns. These patterns influence the way individuals interact in various relationships, including those with their parents and intimate partners.

The aforementioned concepts can be contextualized within the broader framework of family dynamics. The family of origin, in particular, serves as a primary source of influence, imparting patterns of behavior, emotion, and thought that shape an individual's relationship with

The family of origin is the primary source of influence and learning for an individual. Consequently, the family of origin exerts a significant impact on an individual's development and behavior.

As previously stated, both parents and grandparents were divorced. At home, the grandparents and father had a negative relationship, and their own patterns and the way they interacted with each other in their marriage caused the eventual breakdown of their marriage.

The term "magnetic field" is often employed in this context. In fact, the environment, atmosphere, and patterns of interaction between family members in the home constitute a magnetic field. All individuals within such a magnetic field are to some extent influenced by it, and this is the "pattern."

However, it is not possible to alter the events of the past; nevertheless, one can modify one's perspective of those events. It is not feasible to select one's family of origin, and one's parents' marriage represents a significant aspect of their life trajectory. In this context, it is essential to establish a distinction between the issue and one's parents.

The aforementioned factors contribute to the formation of distinct thought patterns, which in turn shape an individual's perspective on relationships. The elder brother, for instance, internalized a sense of dependency, whereas the younger brother internalized a sense of role modeling. These

Each individual is a unique entity, with their own inherent characteristics and life trajectory, which includes intimate relationships.

A classic narrative describes the birth of twin brothers to an alcoholic father. The elder brother became a renowned local lawyer, while the younger brother became a well-known local alcoholic.

In response to the reporter's inquiries, the older brother expressed a sense of helplessness, asking, "What can I do with a father like this?" His younger brother echoed a similar sentiment, asking, "What can I do with a father like this?"

When the reporter interviewed them, the elder brother stated, "What can I do with a father like this?" The younger brother echoed this sentiment, saying, "What can I do with a father like this?"

The aforementioned examples illustrate the influence of familial relationships on an individual's development and the potential for these relationships to shape one's outlook and behaviors.

However, the underlying cognitive processes of the two brothers are distinct. The elder brother espouses the conviction that he cannot rely on his father, whereas the younger brother views his father as a role model.

It can be reasonably deduced that you are the same. From the observed pattern of your grandparents' and parents' marriage, it is possible to discern a similar pattern of marriage breakdown, which can be learned from.

In addition, I suggest reading the book If Fatherly Love is Absent, which explores the significant impact a father's guidance can have on his daughter's long-term well-being.

2. How to Manage a Relationship Between the Sexes

In employing the term "appreciation," it is imperative to acknowledge and value the distinct relationship between the sexes.

Let us begin by examining the disparate needs of men and women in a relationship.

Men desire appreciation, admiration, and adoration from women. Women seek to feel secure, valued, and cared for by men.

The fundamental differences between men and women are innate and immutable. The book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" provides insights into these differences and offers guidance on fostering a deeper understanding of one's significant other.

Additionally, "If Only I Knew Before Marriage" is a valuable resource for grasping the fundamental aspects of marriage, the concept of mutual benefit for both partners, and the importance of shared understanding and mutual progress.

When confronted with a challenge, it is possible to consider a multitude of perspectives, thereby gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and the potential solutions. The capacity to adopt another's perspective and to empathize with their experiences remains a crucial aspect of effective interpersonal communication.

Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share another person's feelings. Through the other person's expression, one can discern the unspoken meaning and unexpressed emotions.

In the context of dating, it is also important to establish and maintain clear boundaries, respect each other's feelings, decisions, and modes of self-expression.

It is my sincere hope that the aforementioned information is beneficial to you. I extend my warmest regards to you, and I wish you well.

It is important to note that men and women are born with different needs and characteristics. Men often desire appreciation, admiration, and adoration from women, while women tend to prioritize feelings of security, value, and care from men. These differences are not inherently negative; they simply reflect the unique biological and social conditioning that shapes each gender. The book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" provides valuable insights into understanding the differences between men and women. It offers a comprehensive examination of the various aspects of gender dynamics, including communication

Hello, landlord. I hope my answer helps.

Family can affect our intimate relationships, but we can learn to manage them.

People often think that love is forever. But love is not perfect. It has its own characteristics. When two people get along, they are in a relationship. A relationship needs to be managed.

If we learn to manage our relationships, they will last.

Let's learn about the characteristics and laws of developing intimate relationships.

Intimate relationships develop in four stages. Each stage has its own characteristics and potential risks.

1. Passionate period.

The passionate period is the first stage of intimacy and the period when it is most likely to lead to a quick marriage. We see only the good things about our partner and pretend to be the ideal lover. We like each other no matter what, but this feeling is due to dopamine.

The passionate period is the first stage of intimacy and the period when it is easiest to get married. We like each other no matter how we look at it, but this feeling of happiness is only due to the effects of dopamine and can only last for three to six months. So the beautiful feelings of this stage only exist for a short time and are not enough to support a lasting and beautiful marriage.

2. Adjustment period.

During the conflict stage of intimate relationship development, all emotional problems erupt. Passion has faded, and problems in each other's bodies have begun to be exposed. Our imagination of love has encountered reality, and the other person has changed from liking us more and more to disliking us more and more. This challenges the relationship.

Each person has more independent time, and there is less dependence.

If you feel your differences are too big to bridge, and your partner wants you to change, it can lead to conflict and even a breakup.

The period of adjustment is the hardest part of love.

3. Introspection period.

After the trial period, couples start to reflect on themselves. They think about their own problems and how they can change. This is the most important time for couples to grow and change.

4. Enlightenment Period

This stage is also called the enlightenment stage. In this stage, we learn to embrace each other with love. We also learn to accept our inner child. As a result, our intimate relationship deepens.

This stage is also called the enlightenment stage. In this stage, we learn to embrace each other with love and accept our inner child. This leads to a deeper intimacy.

Not many relationships reach this stage, and it's not easy. But it's the direction we and our partners need to move forward together.

Intimate relationships have stages of growth. Problems and conflicts are normal. The key is to understand each other through conflicts and solve problems. It's wise to marry when you can solve problems. Marriage has more challenges than love.

How can we successfully navigate these four stages?

1. Accept the other person and learn to live with their flaws.

We are who we are because of things like upbringing, education, and environment.

If you want to change someone, you'll be troubled. It's hard to change someone.

If the other person doesn't want to change, we cannot change them. As it says in "A Change of Heart": There are only three things in this world: your own affairs, other people's affairs, and the affairs of heaven. The reason we are troubled is that we do not control our own affairs.

We can't control the other person's behavior and thoughts, but we can control how we react to them.

This way, we can influence her and make changes.

When we accept others as they are and learn to get along with them, our hearts are less troubled and our relationships are more harmonious.

2. Learn to communicate well and build trust.

Communication is not about who is right or wrong. It's about understanding each other and growing the relationship.

To communicate deeply, express each other's needs and feelings. Use the method of non-violent communication. State the facts, express your feelings, express your needs, and request the other person's action.

Note: Be objective when stating facts. Express your needs and feelings. Be specific when requesting action.

Also, communicate every day, share, and avoid conflict.

When you can express your feelings and needs, share each other's lives, and let the other person understand you, this can enhance your sense of security.

3. Make rituals stronger.

Rituals help love last. How can you make rituals stronger?

Set rules.

You can make rules to make sure you interact regularly. For example, you can say goodnight every night, talk about conflicts, and not let arguments last overnight.

Make love.

Show your partner you care by expressing your love for them. Surprise them with a gift or a kind gesture. If you travel a lot, buy them something thoughtful when you reunite.

4. Create romantic expectations and commit to each other.

Love is about intimacy, passion, and commitment.

As intimacy develops, commitment becomes more important. Commitment helps you overcome difficulties. If you don't expect the future, it will be hard to keep moving forward. So, it's important to set some common expectations and be as specific as possible. For example, "This weekend, I will cook a big meal for you."

You can plan where to have the wedding, where to buy a home, how to decorate it, where to go on trips, where to go hiking or to the beach on weekends, and where to go on vacation.

When life is full of expectations, the future will be happy.

It's not easy, but if you work together and support each other, you'll have a long-lasting relationship. I wish you all the best!

Hello!

Host:

After reading the post carefully, I noticed that the poster has been influenced by some aspects of her family of origin. At the same time, I also noticed that the poster has bravely expressed her own distress and actively sought help on the platform, which is a great first step! I'm sure that the poster will benefit from better understanding and self-awareness, which will help her to adjust and grow.

Next, I'm thrilled to share my observations and thoughts from the post, which I'm sure will help the poster gain a deeper understanding of herself.

1. Why can't we appreciate our boyfriends?

In the post, the host mentioned that she could not appreciate her boyfriend very well, and was influenced by the way her father and grandmother got along in her original family. Well, that's easy to understand, and it's something we can all relate to!

It's so great when kids naturally gravitate towards and learn from their parents. It's a wonderful sign of loyalty!

It seems that you are just like your parents, and you are on the same page as them, so you will get their approval!

From a psychological point of view, people tend to treat others as they treat themselves. So, if the poster wants to appreciate her boyfriend, she has the power to start by appreciating herself!

Have you accepted yourself? This is a question the host needs to think about, and I'm excited to see what she discovers!

Knowing how we treat ourselves is the key to treating others the same way!

2. Accept the real you!

In the post, the original poster wants to appreciate her boyfriend, so she must first learn to appreciate herself. And how do you appreciate yourself?

And the best part is, it's simple! All you have to do is love yourself! What is loving yourself?

Loving yourself is about being able to meet your own needs and being able to accept yourself completely. It's about embracing the good and the bad, your own strengths, and your weaknesses. It's about allowing yourself to be human and not trying to be a god.

So how do we accept ourselves? It's simple! Just accept what we cannot change and focus on what we can change. And guess what? Naturally, we will encounter a better version of ourselves and become more and more confident!

And the best part is, the more we accept ourselves, the more we can accept our boyfriend, the more we appreciate ourselves, and naturally the more we appreciate others!

3. Let go of the "ideal boyfriend" and embrace the wonderful, imperfect man you have right now!

In the post, the original poster mentioned that her boyfriend isn't her ideal type. This could be a great opportunity for growth and self-discovery!

Does the poster want her boyfriend to become her "ideal boyfriend"? Absolutely! And who doesn't want to change someone they love?

Or do you have expectations of his "ideal type"? If so, then you may not be able to appreciate your boyfriend in reality. But don't worry! There's a simple solution.

This is why it's so important to let go of the fantasy of the ideal boyfriend and embrace the real one in front of you! It's time to see the good points and accept the shortcomings. When we have an ideal type in our minds and then the boyfriend in reality doesn't look like that, we may feel "disgusted" and unable to appreciate him. But there's no need to feel that way! We can learn to let go of the fantasy and see the real boyfriend in a new light.

And then, and then only then, will you be able to appreciate your boyfriend!

4. Think about what kind of intimate relationship you want!

It's so important to know what you want in a relationship! And it all starts with getting to know your boyfriend. Take the time to explore what kind of intimate relationship you want and what your core needs are in an intimate relationship.

Then go and see if your boyfriend can meet your core needs, and then make a choice!

At the same time, as adults, we also know that we can't have everything. And that's okay! We can't expect our boyfriend to meet all our needs, but that doesn't mean we can't find someone who can.

I really hope these are helpful and inspiring for the original poster! I'm a psychological coach, Zeng Chen.
