Permission and Forgiveness
All the small deceits chip away at a relationship, leaving it fragile. Then one day, one small thing makes the entire relationship destabilized at best and crumble completely at worst.
Each person in entitled to a life outside of the relationship.
Each person is equally responsible to the relationship and the responsibilities within the relationship.
Each person is responsible for themselves and their feelings, behaviours, needs and desires.
The question both partners need to ask themselves when this occurs is "why?" and be really honest with the answer.
"Why am I fearful of sharing my truth and desires?"
"Why is my partner fearful of sharing their truth and desires?"
Do your best to stay in your integrity, heal your wounds and act from a place of love.
If you need guidance in navigating either side, or as a couple, send a message to see if coaching is right for you.
