It is natural to feel disappointed. Of course, everyone can feel disappointed. The bigger the affection, the more disappointed they feel. However, if you feel disappointed quite often, even though it is a trivial matter and if you feel down, you need time to reflect on yourself. The disappointment may stem from you. You should follow the root of disappointment.

You need time to look back on whether you don't know the part that your partner tries, and you want more than that, whether you ask him for the things you need to fill up on yourself, and whether you are giving your partner what you want to receive. No one can satisfy all your needs. Just as you lack something, so does your partner.

You should distinguish between what you need to fill up and what your partner can do, and have an attitude that you cherish the affection and sincerity that your partner conveys to you. So that desire doesn't cause disappointment.

It is not for us in frequent disappointment, but for us who laugh together in frequent happiness.

 

P.S.

 - '서운함'이라는 단어가 영어에는 없었다. 오래 생각해봤다.
 - 상대방에게 무언가를 바랐지만 원하는 말과 행동이 돌아오지 않았을 때 사람들은 '서운함'을 느낀다고 나는 생각했다.
 - '서운함'의 발생 메커니즘과 가장 형태가 비슷한 감정은 '실망감'이었다.
 - 그래서 나는 '서운함' '실망감(Disappointment)'으로 번역해 보았다.
