When I love you like a mother

"In some relationships

I don't love you anymore, like a lover

It turned out to be like a mother

always worried.

It always fulfills.

It's always protective.

But whatever

what is love?

To a child

Taking care of me like I do

Not a relationship...

... Read moreความรักในความสัมพันธ์นั้นมีหลายรูปแบบ และหนึ่งในสิ่งที่หลายคนอาจจะเคยสัมผัสคือการรู้สึกเหมือนต้องรับบทบาทเป็นเหมือนแม่ผู้ดูแลอยู่ตลอดเวลา ซึ่งจริงๆ แล้วความรักคู่รักควรเป็นความสัมพันธ์ที่สองฝ่ายดูแลกันและกันอย่างเท่าเทียม ไม่ใช่เพียงฝ่ายใดฝ่ายหนึ่งต้องรับผิดชอบเกินขอบเขต ผมเคยเห็นคนที่ตกอยู่ในความสัมพันธ์แบบนี้หลายครั้ง ที่ฝ่ายหนึ่งกลายเป็นผู้ที่คอยจัดการกับทุกปัญหา คอยห่วงใยและปกป้องแบบไม่หยุดหย่อน จนอีกฝ่ายรู้สึกว่าถูกคุมขังหรือขาดความเป็นอิสระ ซึ่งสุดท้ายอาจทำให้ความรักนั้นค่อยๆ จางหายไป ความรักที่ดีต้องไม่ทำให้รู้สึกเหนื่อยหรือกังวลเกินไป แต่ควรมีความเข้าใจและปล่อยให้กันและกันเติบโตอย่างอิสระ พร้อมทั้งสนับสนุนและเติมเต็มซึ่งกันและกัน ดังนั้น เมื่อเราคิดว่าความรักในความสัมพันธ์กำลังกลายเป็นความรักแบบ"มื้อมแม่" ก็ควรหยุดทบทวนและปรับตัวเอง เพื่อที่จะรักษาความรักในแบบที่สุขภาพดีและยืนยาว
