Fixing a Broken Partner-Picker Author: Rinatta Paries
Do you have a broken partner-picker? Do you keep picking the wrong partners thinking they are the right ones, only to realize you once again picked the same kind of partner as in the past?
If so, your partner-picker can be fixed. It just needs a little work. The following exercise will help you fix your partner-picker.
1. Complete the following sentence with a few words that readily come to mind:
All men or all women are __________________________________.
Did you immediately think of negative terms to define men or women? If so, are you sure all men or all women are as you described above? Do you personally know any who are not?
The first step to fixing a broken partner-picker is to realize all kinds of people exist out there in the big wide world of ours. Most singles with a broken partner-picker actually believe the only kinds of people who are out there are the kinds they have been meeting. So a woman who keeps meeting unavailable men believes all men are unavailable. And a man who keeps meeting women who are after his money believes all women are gold diggers.
In a way this actually makes sense; we believe the evidence in front of us. However, does the woman who keeps meeting unavailable men keep meeting them because that IS the only kind of man out there, or because she BELIEVES that is the only kind of man out there? In my experience, you will attract all kinds of people, but only notice the kind you believe are out there.
To change this, get to know and build friendships with men and women who are not as you described above. Work on realizing there is great diversity in behaviors and attitudes among EACH sex.
2. Complete the following sentence with a few words that readily come to mind:
All relationships are ______________________________________.
Did you immediately think of negative terms to define relationships? If so, is it true that all relationships are as you described? Do you personally know any that are not?
The second step in fixing a broken partner-picker is to realize that all kinds of relationships exist out there in the big wide world of ours. Most singles actually believe the only kind of relationship possible is the kind they fear they will end up in. So singles envision a controlling, manipulative partner who asks them to compromise their very being. Or they envision an uncaring, cold partner who would rather be away from them doing something else. Or they envision some other relationship horror they would rather not live through.
In reality, many different relationship dynamics are possible between two people. Simply because you feel controlled or feel distance in one relationship does not mean the same thing will happen to you in every relationship with any person.
To change this, get to know and build friendships with couples who are not as you described above. Work on realizing just how many different relationships are around you and what kind of a relationship you want.
3. Complete the following sentence with a few words that readily come to mind:
I deserve many positive things in a partner, except _________________, which I don't feel I deserve.
Have you ever been given these kinds of things from others? If you have, was it because you earned these somehow or did something to become deserving?
How does one come to deserve love, attention, affection, time? Many singles secretly believe the only way they will get love is to somehow buy it - either literally by spending money in a relationship, or figuratively by over-compromising themselves. Others believe they simply deserve only what they have been given in the past, which was often not enough.
The third step in fixing a broken partner-picker is to realize that you deserve love, attention, affection, time, etc. You don't have to do anything to earn it except to be yourself. This is your inherent right as a human being.
To change your feelings about what you deserve, get to know and build friendships with people who readily give you THE thing you feel you do not deserve.
Complete this exercise with a friend and share your results with each other. Get some feedback from people who care about you on the ideas you came up with. With this feedback, you will be well on your way to fixing that pesky partner-picker.
