You feel safer to show your vulnerable side. Here’s more reasons for going for a patient boyfriend. In fact, patience gives you the liberating breath you’ve always longed to take,” wrote Judith Orloff M.D. You’re able to invest meaningful time in a relationship without giving up or giving in. But with patience, you’re able to step back and regroup instead of aggressively reacting or hastily giving up on someone who’s frustrating you. You treat spouses and friends as disposable instead of devoting the necessary time to nurture love. “Without patience, you turn into your own worst taskmaster. Patience is liberating and in my opinion, improves a relationship’s chances of lasting. Relationship shouldn’t feel like a job you want to leave, or the one that will cause you a mental breakdown. Patient boyfriends are immensely important for your mental health. Like hey, can I get dressed without you calling me 5 times in 15 minutes? Can you not react like I stole someone’s kidney when I just messed up a little? Can you not expect me to be perfect? It feels like he sets the deadlines and performance benchmarks that I must adhere to.
It just feels I am in a high-stress job that requires me to constantly be on my toes. When you have an impatient boyfriend, life feels like a race, you know. It is about giving your partner the space and opportunity to feel completely safe with you. It is about not judging the other person on their pace, boundaries and perception. This is why you need a patient boyfriend.īut patience is not just about controlling your temper. Or when your best friend does something that is so annoying but is it worth a fight after more than a decade of being friends? You just let things go you have to pick your battles.
You know when your parents or your grandparents have really mind-boggling expectations/advice and you have to calm every nerve in your body because well, you love them.
Of course, romance and sex makes everything even more complicated! In fact, you need patience in every relationship. That’s because you need an incredible amount of patience to have such a close partnership with another human being, who is as flawed and f*cked up as you.
