Cavallari on Infatuation vs. Love: 6-Month Waiting Rule
8 Feb
Summary
- Cavallari enforces a six-month rule before saying 'I love you'.
- She admits confusing infatuation with love multiple times.
- Cavallari broke up with a younger partner due to life experience differences.
Kristin Cavallari is adopting a new approach to romantic relationships, establishing a six-month waiting period before making significant commitments or expressing deep emotions. She aims to avoid confusing infatuation with love, a pitfall she acknowledges experiencing multiple times in the past.
Cavallari explained on her podcast that she typically gets "fully consumed" by infatuation, leading her to say 'I love you' prematurely. Her new rule prohibits declaring love, planning for the future, or integrating new partners with her children until at least six months have passed.
This dating philosophy comes after Cavallari's recent breakup with a much younger boyfriend, identified as Mark Estes. She stated that long-term, the relationship wasn't right, emphasizing that her ex-partner needed to "experience life" during his formative years. Cavallari reflected on her own experiences at 24, highlighting the significant personal growth that occurs during those crucial years.
