Did I choose wrong?
Disillusionment in love isn’t a red flag — it’s a crossroad.

💔 This Week’s Truth
Every long-term relationship hits one quiet, uncomfortable phase — disillusionment.
It’s that moment when:
Their quirks start to grate
Their flaws feel louder
You catch yourself thinking: “Did I choose wrong?”
But disillusionment isn't a reason to leave — it’s an invitation to grow.
🧠 What People Get Wrong
Most couples see disillusionment as a dead end.
But in truth, it’s a doorway — one that reopens again and again:
After a new job or move
After a major loss
During seasons of stress, fatigue, or change
Every time, it asks:
“Will you choose each other again — now that the illusion is gone?”
🛠️ This Week’s Shift
Shift your perspective:
Disillusionment isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of real love.
Try this:
Talk openly about what feels different — without blame
Ask your partner: “How can I love you better in this season?”
Instead of reacting to your doubts, get curious about what’s underneath them
The strongest couples aren’t those who avoid disillusionment — they’re the ones who walk through it together, hand in hand.
