Without You, He Loses Himself
You’ve become a part of him because he wants to keep a part of you.
When a man loves a woman, he wants a piece of her that he can call his own. It isn’t about her body, but her mind. It’s the way she thinks, the things she does, how she does them. What she likes and doesn’t like. What she believes to be important and what she believes to be trivial.
When a man loves a woman, he takes these little parts of her as his own. They become a part of him, change him, and the way he thinks, the way he sees the world.
Of course, if your partner doesn’t have all the above qualities that doesn’t mean you should necessarily dump him immediately. We all look for different things in a partner and a relationship, after all.
What is important to you becomes important to him. The way you do certain things becomes the way he does those things. You both give up a little part of yourselves and adapt to the other’s habits.
“The man of your life is the man who loves you so much that he’s throwing away pieces of himself just to make a room of pieces for you.”
