You’ve got the world’s best boyfriend, but it’s not always easy to put your feelings for him into words.
You want to write a memorable Christmas message for him, but you’re running short on ideas.
Look up “Christmas wishes for boyfriend,” and the sheer number of options can be overwhelming.
But so few of them say anything you’d actually write in your boyfriend’s Christmas card.
We’d like to change that.
When I was growing up, my household looked different from the idyllic families that were portrayed on the television shows I enjoyed.
I often wondered if my dysfunctional family was the only one that had so much tension, anger, and unhappiness.
As a highly sensitive child, I often believed it was my fault. If I could just be easier, funnier, more pleasing to my family, then everything would be okay.
These feelings, along with the stress I was experiencing at home, wreaked havoc on my mental health and self-esteem.
If this is something you can relate to, I am here to tell you that you are not alone.
Living in a dysfunctional family, no matter what that looks like for you, will have a long-term effect on your life — even years after you've grown up and live in a healthier environment.
If you're still in a dysfunctional family, it's important to you see your situation for what it is and take the steps to change it — or leave it.
Do you ever feel like you have a heightened sense of understanding and emotion for other people's feelings?
Maybe you feel like you are really good at reading people or you simply have an inclination toward being empathic.
If so, you might be an intuitive empath.
Being an intuitive empath means you have a high sensory perception and can be impacted by other people’s energies.
You have an innate ability to perceive those around you.
But, being an empath is more than just being an especially sensitive person, and it isn't limited to simply feeling and expressing emotions.
Going into marriage, you knew the romantic feelings between you would be stronger at some times than others.
You didn’t expect his romantic feelings toward you to die completely, much less give way to indifference or hostility.
Maybe you don’t feel it every time he’s around.
More and more, though, he leaves you with a heaviness on your heart and a growing conviction: “My husband hates me.”
You’re confused and hurt.
Part of you still hopes you’re reading too much into his behavior.
But if you’re reading this post, the red flags described below can help clear the fog.
