How do you know you’re with a Trail Companion*?

If you are in a relationship with a Trail Companion* you feel anxious about a few things. First of all, you feel very strong, genuine feelings toward your partner, but a part of you is constantly looking over your shoulder whether or not there should be more… Could you expect more? Some of your reasons for feeling this way may feel downright petty, and you might be talking yourself into staying because you can’t possibly expect more than this and that you are shallow and narcissistic if you think this person is not enough! You are trying to lower your expectations of the perfect relationship, and let go of the youthful euphoric love you used to feel for someone else.

Although this relationship maybe nearly the same, and at times feels like the same thing, you are second guessing whether the love you felt for someone else was naive and childish, and mostly based on hormones rather than actual love. It is almost certain, that you have either a very strong intuitive memory of a True Emotion Mirror from a previous life (and you are giving up on the wish of finding them) or you have once loved someone who was a True Emotion Mirror, possibly even still carrying a torch them.

You feel the need for a compromise

In this relationship, you feel strongly that you need to change or compromise some of your core values or character traits, and as much as you know you are loved, you also know you are not 100% free to be your true self. Some of these changes feel completely acceptable to you, as they are not big changes, and society expects some of them to be made in order for a proper relationship to be possible. (Like “acting your age”!) You are most likely hiding a part of yourself from your partner, one of the things you are likely to downplay or suppress are your sexual fetishes that don’t seem to fit into a normal balanced relationship. However, in a functional True Emotion Mirror relationship, all such compromises are poisonous! You should feel free and liberated in the knowledge that true love comes to those who are fearless in wanting what they want and being what they are.

Find your freedom

You have to be free to look for true love, and you have to go after it no matter what – whatever is not working is not going to go away. If you decide to leave the relationship, it would be in their best interest of your partner that you told them that you feel you are not getting what you want out of this relationship and that you do want more, and also that you don’t want them to change for you, nor that they would be able to. It may take a long time to convince a chaser Trail Companion* that this relationship is not going anywhere further, so you need patience and resilience to stick with your path to your true love, who you should feel free to save all your love and loyalty for no matter how crazy and unrealistic that would be.

If, however, you are a part of an Lovers’ Choice Soulmate* relationship, then the situation is different. You BOTH want to compromise and change for each other, and you’ll both do it gladly. I will just throw that in just in case. For a person who wants to find their True Emotion Mirror, this simply doesn’t sound ideal at all, but a MAJOR compromise and a drag, so THEY do have to move on.

If you are chasing a Trail Companion*

you feel that there is something about them that they need to change about their character (as opposed to their habits) in order for you to have a working relationship. Sometimes, both of you are “chasers” and you decide to compromise because you’ve been told over and over that this is how relationships work. Compromise is the key to a Trail Companion* relationship, but not for True Emotion Mirrors. This makes up for most good relationships in the world, and it is a Trail Companion* relationship that most relationship guides are aiming to fix. (No self-respecting psychologist would ever attempt to fix a True Emotion Mirror relationship as they wouldn’t even see it as a relationship or they’d see it as toxic (if there’s something to fix in the first place.) They would always encourage giving up on that love.)

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for the chasing Trail Companion* to know or understand what is the missing part of the relationship because they haven’t experienced true love yet. The emotions are strong and A LOT OF IT fits in the descriptions of True Emotion Mirrors. Unfortunately the only thing I can tell you is that if you are trying to change them or yourself in order to make it work, and you can’t honestly say you love EVERYTHING about them – absolutely everything, including their worst traits that seem wrong or undesirable traits in anyone – this is a Trail Companion* only.

You will love ALL of your True Emotion Mirror’s traits, even the generally undesirable ones, or their reasons for having them in the first place… This includes their drug habits, while you wouldn’t want them on drugs, you’d love their proneness to take them and particularly the reasons and the way they take them – whether you like this about yourself or not. (Damned it took some work for me to admit I actually admired my True Emotion Mirror’s drug habits, considering I am a teetotaller myself… And I am one because I have always feared I’d get hooked instantly if I give anything addictive an inch. But more than anything, I admired their ability to kick the habit. THAT impressed me more than anything.)

If you are currently separated from a Trail Companion*, and you feel like you have to have them back but there is that slight wonder whether or not you’ve got a True Emotion Mirror out there somewhere… Ask yourself this: Does it hurt to look? Would it be so terrible if you raised your expectations a little?

When can a Trail Companion* relationship work?

This type of relationship works perfectly only through compromising and in a situation where both partners believe it is a sign of love towards your partner to LET GO of your True Emotion Mirror in order to keep this relationship going. People who love through sacrifice will find it to be a perfect love; the Lovers’ Choice Soulmate* love.

However, both partners have to TRULY feel this way, TRULY want it, and be in it 100%. NEVER EVER form a relationship like that when one or both of you are on a rebound because they are likely to try to make a commitment just to get over their romantic ideas about another person or about another type of love.
