What are you doing to ensure you are a good partner?
Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. We have talked a lot about our hopes, expectations, red/green flags in relationships but most of these conversations have been outward focused, focused on our expectations from other people.
However we too make up a huge part of any relationship we are. Today lets talk about romantic relationships. What are you doing to become a better partner?
Just a note, that you working on yourself, does not excuse bad conduct from the other partner. The post is not implying that you are not enough or that you need to change but rather an opportunity to reflect on how you can be more, how you can be a better partner.
my partner is very loving and supportive but we have different approaches to showing our affection and i’m working on learning and appreciating how he shows his affection in his own ways. i tend to often sprawl out all my emotions onto him when i’m feeling low so hoping that therapy will help me better cope by myself and not worry him as much. honesty and communication is integral to our relationship and i know every step is a learning curve to better understand each other & our needs (:
Communication and honesty Are the key, so you could be yourself and can talk everything under the sun. You listen to each other and be mindful of each other’s mood and struggle.
