In this episode, This Realm of Existence Blog & Podcast creator and host Sharron W. talks about how many men and women meet partners who turn their lives upside down; some in a good way, and some not so good. Partners that have led them down a rabbit hole to do things that they would have never imagined possible for themselves; shady, sneaky, irreprehensible things that are out of their character. They look in the mirror and don’t even recognize the face starting back at them anymore. They have shifted so much into this other being to satisfy their partner, that they lose all sense of self in the name of love. Or at least, what they think is love.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in our relationships that we become a person that we do not recognize, doing things that we know we should not do, which puts us further down the rabbit hole. Never lose yourself or change to please someone else. Be you and be you authentically. It is much easier to be you and continue being you, than it is to keep up a façade year after year.
