What Is The Value That You Bring To A Relationship?

I brought a lot of value to my relationships in the past. I made the mistake of dating men that did not understand my worth and I took to heart how they viewed me. This was back in my early twenties to mid twenties. It’s a common mistake that happens. We don’t understand our worth and think that we are worth less just because a man (or it could be anybody else) has a certain opinion about us.

We want to be valued, but we will not be valued if the other partner has lower standards than us, cannot identify our true value and/or tries to degrade us in any way. If we allow the judgment of our value to be put into another’s hands without knowing it ourselves, we will be left feeling unhappy, confused, devalued and insignificant.

If another cannot see our value and worth in the dating world, we can’t make that person see the value that we have. If someone has not grown up with us, they will not directly see the different aspects of our personality or the values that we hold. That is what you learn over time with somebody. If the partner that we are dating or are in a relationship with does not hold the same values as we do, we may get easily frustrated because we are out of alignment.

Having the understanding of what value that we bring to any relationship will boost our self confidence and make us feel solid…
