When you haven’t eaten or drank fluids for a long time, you feel irritable, impatient and over sensitive. When you starve your partner emotionally, she is going
to become irritable, impatient, and hypersensitive too.

Subconsciously and sometimes unknowingly we starve our partner's heart –either because we don't know any better or because we feel we need to exert power
in the relationship by withholding love and affection. When she pleases you, you show love, when she doesn’t you pull away. Sound familiar? We were never
taught the importance of feeding our relationship in the same way we'd feed our child or our plants. Even if we know the value, we probably have never been
taught how to actually do it.

Witholding or suppressing love is extremely unhealthy and destructive in relationships, and never truly gives you what you want. Ultimately, anyone who is
treated consistently like this, will smarten up and leave the relationship.

How to mend a broken heart

Throughout your life, there will be times when your heart is broken. Perhaps a relationship ends, and you feel sad and depressed, or your teenage
protégé just told you how much they hate you. No matter how your heart is broken, if you are not careful, it can lead to high blood pressure, stroke,
heart disease and a number of other ailments.

But there are some things you can do to mend a broken heart. Here are some steps to help you cope and begin a new outlook on your life:

Practise Forgiveness This is not always easy, because human nature will want you to stay mad at someone, and to focus on the negative issues at hand. But
medical research has proven that once you learn to forgive someone, not only is the other person "OK" in your eyes, but a burden will be lifted from your
head... and your heart.

Reach out and help someone else When your heart is broken, and you are feeling sad, the last thing in the world you want to think about is anyone else but
yourself. Take a deep breath, and reach out and help someone else who is in need. By focusing on someone else's needs instead of your own, your heart will
be stronger.

Laughter It really is the best medicine. When your heart is aching, find ways to really laugh. Rent that new comedy DVD or find a few joke books. Start
laughing, and you will be putting a smile on your face, and in your heart.

Alter your routine Just for a day or two, mix things up. Stop doing the same old things every day and try something new. Have you been putting off doing
something? Do it now. Spend an entire day doing things that make you happy.
