Loving our lives is also a really good way to attract positive feelings from the other and good attititude.
When I started believing in myself my life dramatically improved, since now I'm in a deep relationship with my boyfriend even because we value ourselves. We don't "complete", we "love". It's a different meaning and it's a more powerful union that just a "puzzle" one.
great input!
If you learn to truly love and value yourself, it will change the way you see relationships, and it sounds like you have found the right way to do it
