What’s the opposite of love? Is it hate? I don’t think so.
You see, when I hear partners say, “I hate you”, it usually means something like, “I am so angry with you, I feel hurt by you, and disappointment with you because I love you and you’re supposed to love me too.”
So, there’s still some fight in them…meaning they still care.
But when your partner doesn’t care anymore, that’s when love dies.
Thus, the opposite of love is…
indifference.
That is, when your partner doesn’t feel anything for you anymore.
So, they no longer care to make things better and no longer hope or believe that things will ever change. They’re done.
And this indifference happens after years and years of trying and hoping, but getting nothing in return but hurt, disappointment, and rejection.
So, for those of you who are becoming indifferent, ensure you have actually asserted your needs and have not just hinted at them.
And when communicating these needs, be mindful that you’re doing this without attacks, criticism, or contempt that teaches your partner to be non-responsive.
And for you who have been non-responsive, it’s time for you to step up while your partner is still invested in the relationship.
Or one day, you might find yourself with a partner who has fallen out of love and become indifferent to you.
