Why Do We Fall In Love With Potential?

Have you ever loved someone for who you knew they could be?

After 30 years of reading relationships, I’ve seen this again and again — we fall for someone, see all this potential in them, and before we know it we’re waiting for the version of the relationship we believe is coming.

When they’re ready. When they heal. When life settles down. When they finally realise what they want…

But how long do we build a relationship around what could be instead of what actually is?

This week I’m talking about hope, change, emotional availability, why understanding someone doesn’t mean they can meet our needs, and the difference between supporting somebody as they grow and waiting for them to become someone else.

And perhaps the most important question of all:

If absolutely nothing about this person changed from today onwards, would you still choose the relationship?

Grab a cuppa. This one’s a good one. 🤍
