How Are You Unconsciously Chipping Away At Your Relationship?

You may have heard me say that romance gets to exist in the micro moments of your day.

 

The same goes for how you chip away at relationship and break your connection.

 

Maybe it’s the comment you make after he picks up groceries and you casually slip in how he bought the wrong eggs.

 

Or how you’re too tried (time and time again) for sexual intimacy.

 

The biggest sabotage I see?

 

Making your partner continuously feel like he’s failing you, and like he’s not enough.

 

Full transparency - I’ve totally been there.

 

We often don’t notice how our incessant complaining is eating away at our man’s confidence.

 

And when that starts to wane…

 

The downward spiral speeds up.

 

As his masculinity is slowly chipping away, you pick up the slack.

 

Trying to fix, do, manage and create.

 

Which only pushes him further away.

 

So, he pulls back.

 

And you move in closer.

 

This is a cycle I’ve both experienced and witnessed with every woman I have ever worked with. And that is not an overstatement.

 

It’s the fear of losing control that takes us there.

 

It’s our version of being anxiously attached to outcomes.

 

And it’s in our power, to take radical responsibility to undo this pattern within ourselves.

 

It often isn’t a big event that breaks apart the most loving relationships.

 

It’s in those seemingly insignificant interactions (but oh, so significant), that we either move closer to, or apart from, sovereign love.

 

If you recognize yourself in this, I've got something juicy coming for you soon. Stay tuned!

 

With love,
