I don’t know if anyone will understand this. I’ve noticed that I feel a deep sense of love every time I look at my cat. I think that is partly due to the fact that while at times he will cuddle with me to the point that I want to push him away. Most of the time, he is doing his own thing and doesn’t want to even be disturbed. That’s when I crave a cuddle most. Is this as Mathew suggests here that while he does his own thing, I miss him and respect him more. I know this sounds cat crazy. However, I feel there is something to learn from my Cat.

[@christinacataldi877]

Alya Saad you’ve definitely learned something about yourself from your interaction with your cat.

[@deprofundis3293]

[@Shaunteetalkstv]

[@breakingthemasks]

Op nailed it. Affection from her cat is valuable... *Because*... It is scarce. If her car was affectionate all the time... It wouldn't be valuable, and instead she would *feel* like her cat was a leach, who was always asking her for cuddles... Rather than an independent creature, who would occasionally consent to *provide* cuddles to her. The same behavior (cuddling) can be seen as a resource or a drain... Based on the scarcity of it.

I have waited a whole year (almost) before going into a relationship. And for the first time in a loooong time, when I am together with a guy - I can also feel a need to pull back, focus on myself, my future, my goals, my aspirations etc. It is so refreshing and a relief! I am not dependent on this person because I have hobbies and passion for other things as well. I am not even head over heels in him - yet. I am leaning back a little, teying to see what he comes up with, let him take the lead as much as I can and my emotions allow me 😉 After all, a relationship is a two-way street. I am very grateful for your videos Matthew, you always bring something of value to the table. Thank you for that 😇

[@leticiaviera1151]

I do the same! And when I'm with that special person I am the greatest person I can be and that is truly deeply attractive!!

I’ve been in a relationship with a guy for 6 years, we live together and I still use this advice to keep the desire alive.

You definitely have to give people time to miss you and Vise versa. I put my man on a pedestal and make sure I always let him know I only have eyes for him. Yes, he struggles with believing that sometimes but as time goes by it gets easier and easier to believe based on patterns. I even struggle with it sometimes, thinking hes up to no good. You just have to be thoughtful and understanding. If you cant be then you're in a relationship you shouldn't be in. Because when you really like someone you figure it out. You cant really like someone unless you know they really like you. Life is too short to waste time and hurt yourself. I know I had to be right with myself before I'd ever be right with anyone else. Self reflect. Be cool. Be real. Be happy.

THANK GOODNESS THOSE WERE MY LAST WORDS TO MY HUSBAND THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM. ITS BEEN FOUR YEARS AND ILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM, HE WAS 20yrs OF MY LIFE. BUT IM READY TO BE HAPPY AGAIN. BUT I FIND THAT MEN ARE NOT OPEN TO THIS EXPRESSION OF FEELING AND THIS BOTHERS ME. THEY SEEM TO BE LOOKING FOR MORE CASUAL SEX AND THEN WANT TO MOVE ON. THATS NOT ME OR MY VALUES. IM GETTING FRUSTRATED, RESENTFUL OF MEN, I CANT TRUST, AND JUST PLAIN LOSING HOPE THAT ILL EVER BE HAPPY AGAIN. I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE. HELP!!!! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG. ??? I JUST WANT RESPECT, FAITHFULNESS, COMMUNICATION, AND A GOOD GUY. SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG..... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND SUCH A WARM PERSON. 😊🙏

[@karencostello587]

Melissa, I'm so sorry about the loss of your husband. It sounds like you had an amazing relationship with him and that you're ready to be happy again. I know how crazy the dating world is and sometimes it seems like there are no men out there who share the same values and desire the same type of relationship. Continue to be very clear about what you want from a man/relationship and then cultivate that within yourself. If you want a man who is respectful, faithful, and a good communicator, be sure that you exhibit those qualities. Love and respect yourself, communicate your needs, and have faith that you will attract a high quality man who is comfortable expressing his feelings. I know he is out there and the Universe will bring you together when you are both ready. Best wishes to you

You are right Mathew, it's amazing how wise you're turning by the mere fact of your work on relationships, observing, listening, paying attention. And it's true that this balance of emotion and logic is the golden key in every aspect of life: love, family, work, community, self, otherness. Thank you so much!

[@nonalolagirl]

I wish I could apply these tips to my situation but since 2018, every person I tried to date only wanted to see me once a month. And I was made to feel like that wanting to see someone more than once was doing too much and trying to take too much of their time. If a month goes by and a man doesn't want to see me, but claims he is so so so into me, I begin to check out and am no longer interested in a relationship depending on the underlying circumstances. Even if I saw someone daily, I'd still be doing my own thing. Relationships don't stop me from doing my hobbies. Focusing on a career. Starting up my second career. Upkeeping my home. So to me it's never a big deal that anyone wants to spend time with me. I no longer meet men who too know how to juggle and balance their love life.

[@emmadubya6294]

Approaching any type of relationship from these perspectives will create space for people to come to you. Classes on life skills, relationships and personal empowerment should be taught in schools. Thank you for the guidance, Matthew 👍

[@train-wreck8564]

I got bpd, every emotion i feel is like 10x more intense. Not that that’s an excuse but it does make controlling emotions a lot harder. I feel so blessed to come across your vids because you explain so clearly and simply how to break unhealthy habits.

[@Msamm777]

Matthew this is fantastic. When my emotions run away with me it is a recipe for disaster! Emotions without boundaries are like 2 year olds acting like parents. Needless to say I recently experienced this and unchecked created a lot of fear! I appreciated this video because once again I am reminded to pick myself up by my britches and get a hold of myself because ultimately I desire to experience healthy relationships in all areas of my life.

[@fourthofoctober8436]

I'm lucky to have found a partner who felt the same way as I did. We both fell super fast, and established a relationship very very fast. We got emotional and serious in just a week. We rode the emotions and nurtured it, relished in it, entertained it, while here and there we put a little reason in, we talk about our concerns logically, realistically. It's just. We know it's a balancing act, but we gladly do it everyday si things do not go out of hand. Communication is vital in a relationship, and making sure you are in the same page. Whether it's emotional or logical communication, it's important. Say what you are feeling and thinking but do it in a compassionate way, especially when you are hurt. Don't go roundabout, be straightforward and respectful.

[@JazmineLAMBARCA]

You are so cute and smart. Camila is so lucky!

[@darkcrystal4498]

I told my dream date that I was busy (and he should give me more notice next time) when he DMd me the day after my birthday asking to go out for dinner that night. I wasn't busy, I was home alone watching Netflix and eating the rest of my birthday cake 😂 The important bit? I wasn't playing a mind game, and I wasn't punishing myself by fighting against any strong emotional urges. I simply wasn't ready to see him at such short notice and I was more comfortable doing my own thing that day. I simply trusted that he wouldn't be put off by my aloofness (the absolute opposite in fact) and would put more care into respecting my time in future, which he did. We're still seeing each other, but we're independent of each other and keep our own lives moving along as before. It keeps things fresh and exciting when we do get together and he respects that I'm not a pushover. Don't ever use anyone to validate how you feel about yourself. You should always *compliment* rather than complete each other. Keep the scales balanced. This is the art of Not Giving A F*ck and it's taken me 30 years to learn it. The faster you can master this, the happier your life will be, I promise! 💜

Everything is about balance no matter how much you’re attracted by him. U give if u want and enjoy being a giver. But if he is not reciprocating in the same pace u pause and observe. Let him miss u while u are doing your things but give quality conservation every time

[@Ninaluv118]

When it comes to time apart, it happens naturally with my boyfriend and I as we both have full-time jobs, so we can't really see each other more than 2-3 times a week for dinner. We're still in the 'honeymoon phase', so my emotions definitely say we want to be glued together 24/7, but it's probably for the best that we're not.

[@nicholasbinaco4935]

Wow, my comments are a catalyst for vile behavior. We all have our strenghts I guess. Matt Hussey, isn't really saying anything you can't find in other books and sources. He's is just very attactive, looks, personality, accessent, etc. My point in asking the question of failure is. How has supporting him for 6 years supported you? Don't get me wrong I have supported people for 6 years but that support has a payday. Are you expecting a payday soon?

[@ginaalexandra3961]

I think the key before jumping into a relationship is to find balance and alignment within ourselves, then we won't strugle with logic vs emotion because we would be doing with our new partner everything that would be guided by our own right intuition, where fear and confusion don't interfere. 😌🤪💙

[@elifaycan765]

Haha that's me. My friends criticizes me saying that I am playing games with the men I date, not being emotional etc..But ı tell them ı am doing this with a good intention and for a more romantic relationship :) they have trouble to get my purpose and think about me a mean girl. Actually, as it seem it is a bad or unemotional move it is resulted in more romantical ways and I benefited my logic and my man also loved that made him more invested and happy.

[@Sassineri]

Sooo, what do i do if i have it the other way around? I like a guy, i suggest i like him and he goes craaaazy... i feel like i havent earned it and i lose interest because he seems desperate.

[@terriesmith8219]

Sassi Neri~It means you don't know what you truly want. A woman who truly know what she wants won't have a problem with guys who invest too much, too fast, and she also won't have a problem with guys who invest too little or none at all. She will know to find a guy who is balance, a guy who is high quality, a guy that knows himself and won't worshipped at your feet but will also be open to a committed relationship. Guys that are balance exists. You just have to know yourself enough to weed through all the far left and the far right, to find the in between. A woman who truly knows herself and what she wants will never have a problem like this. Because she will recognised it for what it is from the beginning. It always comes down to you. To yourself. *Know thyself.* When you know thyself, the world falls into place. *You are the master of your own fate. You are the captain of your own soul, your own future.*

Thank you Matthew.. That was the most insightful and empowering video. I always go into a relationship /friendship with my emotions at the wheel, especially as I'm getting older... I'm a huge people pleaser, and I care so much for others and their feelings.. and it's the combination of these things that allow my emotions to take over, and basically ensure the new person runs (screaming into the night lol)... Anyway, thank you again.. I really hope I can turn things round

I would love to see a video on how to deal with relationships based on the different temperaments: Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, Phlegmatic.

As for me, Sanguine people tend to look towards the positive side so even if I don't get what I want, I know there's always a rainbow after the rain. :)

[@AmandeepKaur-pu4bh]

I always allowed my emotions to decide my actions for 1.5 years. During this time, we would have great time and after few months he would just go off. Since we broke up last time, it took me almost a year to get over him, when he finally showed up back this year saying he want to be together and we dated for 3 months again. Being tired of trying hard to always please him, I decided to be logical this time(first time ever). He used to text me everyday, then eventually decreased to few times in a week. After after 2 weeks of coldness, he wanted to see me. I didn't said "YES" cz I wanted to know badly what he isn't investing back. We ended up breaking up yesterday because I saw a very Cruel side of him and stuff he said was shocking. I loved him more than anything, but he was just there to get a sense of togetherness not because he loved me. It's a lot of pain to deal with.

I think most of the few times I've felt rejected it was because I avoided getting carried away too quickly. 36 yrs old and I wish I could go back to that. Yet when I was in my 20's I'd really let it happen and just end up feeling used. So, get carried away but keep your health in mind. Sounds easy but takes effort.
