Relationship Advice:
You scare me. I’m actually hoping you’re a three-year-old kid with a very active imagination, but I don’t think so.
Kidding aside, I get the teddy bear thing. Some people are just not able to let go of old habits or are not yet prepared to put away their security blanket. That’s not really unheard of.
But we have to be able to put away our security blankets. We have to be able to face our insecurities and fears, or just be able to put away our favorite teddy bear. So, here’s free relationship advice just for you: If you have issues, insecurities and whatnots, tell your girl. This could be an opportunity to further strengthen your bond. A heart-to-heart talk is always good in a relationship. This could be an opportunity for you to talk about things that are somehow unclear to you. This is also a chance to show her that being with her is the most important thing to you, and that a teddy bear (that’s probably worn out and scary-looking) will not stand between you and your girlfriend.
Find just out how much Teddy means to you. Know what Teddy represents. Take steps to let Teddy go. Let your girlfriend know that Teddy is leaving. Let the teddy bear go. I think it’s about time, too. If you were brave enough to step outside, meet the woman of your dreams and go after her, you should be brave enough to let go of Teddy in order to sustain the romance.
Basically, your girl is saying, “It’s either me or little Teddy. It stays, I go.”
My expert relationship advice is this: Ditch the bear. That’s sound expert relationship advice, if you ask me.
Come on. Did you really have to ask?
I know this is a free relationship advice, but please don’t waste this.
