Has anyone else come across this?
So, basically, I'm a 29 year old guy from Kerala. I was in a longterm relationship for about three years, and we broke up a year ago. The relationship itself was so messed up and toxic that I actually felt relieved after the breakup.
Since then, I've moved to Dubai and restarted my career. Life has been pretty good. But recently, I started talking to someone from a different country, and we connected really fast. We're both attracted to each other, but we know it's not going to work out because of certain reasons.
Ever since I started talking to her, the need to feel loved and cared for has resurfaced😬😬😬 I don't want to get into a relationship right now because I have different goals and priorities in life.
So here's my question: How do you guys get over this feeling? When your heart and your brain are telling you to pursue different things, how do you deal with it? I want and know I need to listen to my brain, but I'm not sure how to quiet these feelings.
