Yup. This is why it's important to not judge yourself for being an AFC for still having some sort of feelings when you think you should "just get over it!". You don't just get over an addiction, it takes some time.
And yeah, if you aren't strong before you'll be weaker after. This is why you have to refuse to buy into the myth that a girl is going to make you happy. You make you happy, first. Then you can be happy with a girl. How can you be happy with a girl if you didn't have that genuine happiness first?
Reset, it's a popular Myth because it is a Males' belief that he will be instantly Metamorphosized into a "Real MAN" by virtue of 'possessing' this one 'special' woman.
It is the undeducated Male's
mental device at
REALIZING his
Potential and
MASCULINITY but in a
totally misguided manner.
He is looking for his Manhood, that he know he is somewhat DISCONNECTED to.
He thinks he will FIND it in a woman, who will 'save him' and make it 'all better".
But these guys have
lacked Femenine Energy for so long, that their LACK actually Drives women
away.
WIth poor experiences with sub standard (emotionally absent or overbearing too)
Mothers, and over bearing or unmasculine
Fathers, and all sorts
emasculating and disempowering experiences....many Males' grow up
without Masculinity and
true Femenine Nurturing.
So they look for it in the Women they desire.
These women are looked upon by these guys as heavenly Motherly Angels.
And this is the absolute WORST image a real man can have in his interactions in
romantic and
sexual adult relationships.
This is what women are terrfiied of.
They do not want to be an Angel or their Mommy.
