Love is hard to get into, but harder to get out of.
Love can be a beautiful thing. It can bring so much joy and satisfaction into someone’s life. But for some, it can also bring heartache and pain. And when things go wrong in a relationship, getting out of love is often much harder than getting into it.
The complexities of relationships mean that what begins as a simple, joyful connection between two people can become fraught with challenges and disagreements over time. Those challenging times can cause two people to drift apart or lead to conflicts that can make them both miserable if they stay together. In such cases, ending the relationship becomes inevitable – but the feelings don’t just magically disappear when one decides to move on.
What’s worse is that the emotional baggage of being in a failed relationship may carry over into future ones, making it difficult for those involved to truly let their guards down and open up to true intimacy and connection. If a person isn’t willing or able to come to terms with what went wrong in their last relationship, it’s very hard for them to commit fully to their current one – making love difficult to get back into.
So even though it may have been relatively easy for someone to fall in love initially, actually finding the courage and strength to walk away from something that no longer works requires great emotional effort. Love may be hard to get into at first, but once you are there it’s often even harder – both physically and emotionally –to get out of it again.
