Valerie Bertinelli Opens Up About Relationship Struggles and Lessons Learned
Valerie BertinelliValerie Bertinelli, widely known for her roles in "One Day at a Time" and "Hot in Cleveland", recently took to social media to reflect on her past relationships, offering a candid insight into her personal journey and the valuable lessons she has learned along the way. At 64, the former Food Network star has been in the public eye following her split with ex-boyfriend Mike Goodnough, which ended in November after ten months of dating.
In a heartfelt series of Instagram posts, Bertinelli admitted to "fumbling the last true good man" she met, expressing regret and introspection over past mistakes. Drawing from her experiences, including two failed marriages, she shared, "Change, real change, never happens through criticism, shame, or pressure. They most likely already feel all that. (I know when I mess up, oof, do I feel shame)."
Bertinelli emphasized the importance of empathy and understanding in navigating relationship challenges. She advised her followers to reconsider their approach during conflicts, suggesting that rather than focusing on a partner's faults, one should adopt a more collaborative mindset: "Maybe try, ‘This is how I feel when this happens, can we figure this out together?" That small change can make a difference".
Her reflections offered a poignant reminder of the complexities of love and the need for patience and compassion, both towards others and oneself. "We all just want to do better and feel awful when we've hurt someone we love. Shame prevents us from thinking clearly", she noted. "Wouldn’t it be nice to relieve the one you love from shame so they can truly give you the amends you’re looking for?"
Despite her own relationship hurdles, Bertinelli's message encourages a perspective of growth and understanding, underscoring that while she may not have all the answers, the journey to improve and connect is always worthwhile.
