When it comes to a relationship, there are many reasons why women lose their soulmates. These reasons might not seem like a very big deal, but these can end up ruining their chances of building a future with their soulmates, and ultimately lose them.
When you first meet your soulmate โ your true love, your one and only โ breaking up or losing him is the last thing you want to think about.
But relationships are never cut and dry. Thereโs no manual on how to be a good girlfriend, and even the most attractive women run the risk of chasing their soulmate away.
My decision to become a love coach became an obvious choice when I went through the most devastating break up Iโd ever experienced; I had to break up with someone I still loved.
When you meet someone who you believe is your โone true love,โ your โsoulmate,โ and he doesnโt see you the same way, itโs heartbreaking.
One day soon after our breakup, as I was going over what went wrong in our relationship and questioning how it was possible that we werenโt going to be spending the rest of our lives together, I began to evaluate how I was being in our relationship.
What was my responsibility for why we didnโt work out? How was I showing up in our relationship? What decisions was I making based on what he was saying or doing?
When I asked these questions and allowed the answers to reveal themselves, so many different things began flooding my awareness.
As much as I hate to become aware of my negative aspects of myself, I had to acknowledge things I did and choices I made so I could become more conscious and make new choices in the future that were more aligned with my true self.
In turn, this allowed me to be more unconditionally loving and more authentically myself, so when I finally did meet my soulmate, I was ready for him.
If you want to know how to be a good girlfriend and avoid breaking up with someone you love, here are 4 mistakes that I now know I made that cost me my soulmate, that you might be doing, too.
Here Are 4 Sad Reasons Women Lose Their Soulmates
1. Manipulating him.
Everything that I did in our relationship was first and foremost because I deeply loved him. But I also had the thought that whatever I did for him would be so fabulous that heโd love me so much heโd never want to leave.
Just before our first Christmas together, he was going out of town and wouldnโt have time to decorate his house and wrap his kidsโ presents. So, I said Iโd come over and help him.
Of course, thatโs something I would do just because I was his girlfriend, but I had this underlying thought of,ย โWhen I do this, heโs going to think Iโm the best girlfriend in the world and will never let me go.โ
Having the energy of โIf I do this, thenโฆโ is manipulation energy. Even though he wasnโt consciously aware that I was having these thoughts, energetically he could feel it. Any energy that isnโt purely loving energy can be felt by others.
I donโt like feeling manipulated by others, so imagine how he felt. And pretty much everything that I did for him had this energy attached to it. Now, when I become aware of the energy that isnโt pure loving energy, I check myself.
I call myself out and ask,ย โWhat would it take to make this choice from my pure loving energy?โย and then I find myself shifting into my pure loving energy.

2. Not trusting him.
I was so in love with him that it scared me. I was deathly afraid of him leaving. I would keep my mouth shut if he did or said something that I didnโt agree with so my soulmate wouldnโt just abandon me.
I made sure that everything that I said or did was โperfectโ so he wouldnโt leave, and in doing so, I wasnโt able to be fully myself with him. I realized that I didnโt trust him to stay; that I didnโt trust myself to be worthy enough of him.
I forgot that the universe (or higher power) had my back. I forgot that I am worthy of his, and any manโs, love. And I missed out on truly being present and enjoying the relationship because I was so scared of it ending.
Now, Iโm trusting that who I am is enough. I also trust that whatever happens, itโs always for my highest and best good, and his as well.
3. Making it too easy.
Because I loved him so much and because I never wanted him to leave me, I felt like I needed to prove myself to him. Whatever he needed, I was there supporting him. When he asked to see me, Iโd rearrange my schedule for him.
My priority became him over the dance class I really enjoyed taking or spending time with friends.
Plus, the more things I did for him to prove to him how wonderful I was, the more he started relating to me like his mother, who doted on him whenever she was in town.
Now, I work to find compromises. I am no longer willing to sacrifice doing things that bring me joy for someone else. I also no longer feel the need to prove myself to anyone, especially a man, in order for them to love me.

4. Expecting too much.
Once we became serious, I began having unrealistic expectations of him to love me and fulfill my needs so that I could feel good about myself and my life.
I needed him to prove he loved me, and I would get really upset if he didnโt.
When we first started dating, he came over for dinner. On his way to my apartment, he met a neighbor of mine. They chatted for a bit and then he knocked on my door.
When he told me that he had met my neighbor, I was more concerned about whether he introduced himself as my boyfriend or not. I really didnโt care about what else they discussed.
I even asked my neighbor the next time I saw him if Luke had really introduced himself as my boyfriend. I needed him to say certain things or do certain things so that I could feel more at ease.
I felt like if he did these things, then he really did care about me. And if he didnโt, then he didnโt really care about me.
Immediately after we broke up, I realized that I didnโt like the way that I was choosing to show up in the relationship.
I realized that I didnโt blame him for not wanting to be with me. If a guy that I was seeing was doing all of these things to me, Iโd end it, too!
So, I began diving more deeply into understanding how the Law of Attraction works, and anything else that could support me in healing my break up and myself. It was also during this time that I decided to become a love coach so I could help others not show up in this way either, and risk losing their soulmates, as I had, and forfeiting chances at true love.
