Let\u2019s face it, everyone wants a soul mate. Empathic people, however, have a unique struggle in this area.<\/h2>\n

At birth, we started to utilize our emotions, and every single one of us were allotted the same amount<\/strong>. But there were variances<\/strong>, not in the types and quantities of these emotions, but in the way we feel them. For some of us, empathic people to be exact, our emotions react much stronger<\/strong> than others, especially when it comes to romantic relationships.<\/p>\n

What is an empath?<\/h3>\n

The empath<\/a> is someone who understands the unique feelings of another individual<\/strong>. In fact, they feel the emotions as if these were their own<\/strong>, grieving, being jubilant or furious in relation to whatever their friend or loved one is going through. Clear as mud? Nah, it\u2019s pretty simple, actually.<\/p>\n

The empath can sense<\/a> when something is wrong, even long before their partner is able to sense their own troubles. This is truly a fascinating, almost clairvoyant talent<\/strong> possessed by the empath.<\/p>\n

Romance, what\u2019s in the cards for the empath?<\/h3>\n

Empathic people have a rather difficult time when it comes to romantic relationships. I find it intriguing how two empaths with mental scars<\/a> get together, for instance, and have a hard time getting past feeling one another\u2019s hidden pains and issues<\/strong>, as with my situation sometimes.<\/p>\n

I have literally spent three hours arguing with my empathic counterpart about how I knew something was wrong with him<\/strong>, only to have him say he knew I was upset with him<\/strong>\u2026.sigh, the compassion<\/a>! Trust me, when two get together, it can be an endless “feeling fest”. But I\u2019m not getting sidetracked with that today.<\/p>\n

The real issue here is\u2026<\/h3>\n

Do you want to know why empathic people have unique struggles<\/a>? Here are a few examples<\/strong> of why you struggle to build a romantic relationship with your empathic soulmate<\/a>. Try not to get an emotional sugar rush reading these things.<\/p>\n

An empath will scare the crap out of you!<\/h4>\n

Okay, when I met Mr. Empathy, I was, at first, excited. Then a week later, I was freaking out. An empath, being so sure of what they are feeling, will express these feelings much faster than others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You see, others doubt, they second guess the feelings they have and try to understand them through various circumstances. The empath feels and then proclaims these emotions<\/strong> easily.<\/p>\n

When he said he loved me, I thought he had lost his mind. After all, we were only together a week or two. This struggle is real because the empath knows what he is feeling<\/strong> and despite my fears of this strong admission, he has words that are secure in his heart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There is nothing and no one that can change his mind about how he feels. It\u2019s fascinating, but this struggle can end romantic relationships before they even start<\/strong>\u2026.well, sometimes.<\/p>\n

The empath is moody<\/h3>\n

A romantic relationship <\/a>is made difficult by the moodiness of empathic people. Because there are such strong emotions involved with the empath, feelings of anger and happiness will be heightened<\/strong>, sometimes to the point of being out of control. On many occasions, the feelings coursing through the body and mind of the empath won’t even be their own.<\/p>\n

They have managed to absorb<\/a> a bit too much of their loved one’s energies<\/strong>. This, in turn, can then be targeted back to the original owner. It seems unfair that blame should fall upon the empath due to their moody demeanor, but unfortunately, this is the case most times.<\/p>\n

Inconsistency can cause additional struggles<\/h4>\n

Empaths really hate it when what you say doesn\u2019t match what you do, or more importantly, what you feel, since empaths pick up on that stuff.<\/p>\n

So, even though I might be a little confused about my self-categorization, I must be, at least partially empathic because I hate when I have to call \u201cbullshit\u201d on friends and loved ones<\/strong>. I even cut to the chase now-a-days, and look them in the eye and say,<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you\u2019re lying, so cut the crap!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In romantic relationships, being as couples are in close quarters most of the time, they will pick up on every little blip or smudge on the surface of loyalty and honesty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Empathic people will call out your lie<\/a><\/strong> and make sure you are living consistently when it comes to your relationship. This can be hard to deal with on both sides.<\/p>\n

Empaths can feel complacency<\/h4>\n

You know that plateau that\u2019s reached at a certain point in the relationship, yeah, the empath senses it pretty quickly. There is a point during a new relationship<\/a> where things start to taper off and settle <\/strong>in a sort of calm flat land, not that it\u2019s gone bad or anything, it\u2019s just leveled<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An empath will notice this change right away and sometimes panic. They may even stir up a little trouble just to get the intensity back.<\/p>\n

Opposite partners<\/a>, not able to detect this leveling off, will find the empath strange for feeling this way when in truth it\u2019s a gift that\u2019s gone slightly awry<\/strong>. Some empaths are able to see the change and accept it for what it really is<\/strong>, just a new level or milestone.<\/p>\n

Instead, some empathic people struggle with losing a bit of fire from the beginning of a once intense relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no giving up for the empath<\/h4>\n

Empaths do not like to break up<\/a>, divorce or dissolve romantic relationships, even if sometimes this might be the best option. Empathic people always see potential in their mates<\/strong>, because they feel the deep frustration<\/strong> and hardships involved in a marriage or other union.<\/p>\n

The struggle here is when empaths marry those who aren\u2019t so in touch with their feelings, and when divorce is mentioned, parties will be at odds on what to do.<\/p>\n

As you know, the empath will want to hold it together no matter what.<\/strong> Now just imagine, there could be a more compatible partner out there for the empath, but they may never know because they keep trying to revive<\/strong> what’s lost.<\/p>\n

Empaths hate being alone but love their own space<\/h4>\n

What a conundrum, I say, that empaths love having their own space but hate to be alone. Although this is a strange mindset, it makes sense if you analyze it correctly<\/strong>. The empath loves being in love<\/a> and will spend loads of time cuddling and kissing, but when they need their space, you better let them have it.<\/p>\n

An empath will become even more emotional if they cannot partake in important personal time<\/strong>, which makes sense. They need to energize and recuperate from life\u2019s stressful decision-making and conflicts.<\/p>\n

My empath is strange, he loves intimacy and is clingy as all get out. But, when it comes to zoning out, I have to give him a day on his own, else the moody monster will surface<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They just aren\u2019t taken seriously enough, are they?<\/h2>\n

The empath has some ideas that may seem far-fetched,<\/strong> but if you give them space and the benefit of the doubt, they will show you just how much their own word means to them. This can be a struggle in romantic relationships because, unfortunately, most people say things and only do about 40% of what they say.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have become accustomed to only believing half or less than half of what people tell us,<\/strong> especially in romantic relationships. Ever heard your partner say, \u201cI\u2019m going to buy you a new coat.<\/em>\u201d Or \u201cLet me write that story, I can write too.<\/em>\u201d, and not believed a single word of what they say because everyone who came before them talked a big game and didn\u2019t show up?<\/p>\n

Okay, I know that was a mouthful, but do you get my drift? Well, the empath will tell you that they can do something, and they really can do that thing, and guess what, they will too<\/strong>! As for my empath, he bought me a nice coat, and, ahem, he really can write too. I bet it hurts when I don\u2019t believe him.<\/p>\n

Always take your empathic friend, family member, and most definitely romantic partner seriously.<\/h3>\n

Empaths are beautiful and powerful people<\/strong> who can only add good things to your life. They will struggle, yes indeed they will, but they will also prevail over many adversities<\/strong> that others just couldn\u2019t handle.<\/p>\n

So why do empathic people suffer so much with romantic relationships, you may ask? It\u2019s because the empath is the realest person you will ever meet<\/strong> and quite possible that knight in shiny armor you heard about as a child.<\/p>\n

In our messed-up world, this brings struggles for the pure at heart. There are other struggles<\/a> for those who are empathic, but we can cover that on another day. For now, let’s focus a little on the positive aspects.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in love with an empath, better keep him. Just saying\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
