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