Here’s a gentle, uncomfortable consideration to sit with…
How much of your relationship is really about you?
Your needs.
Your view.
Your comfort.
And how often do you truly see your partner?
It’s normal to default to our own perspective and only see our own point of view.
But sometimes we can get so caught up in our own perspective that we don’t really see our partner’s.
And when that becomes habit…
…it quietly erodes connection.
Working through that and getting to a place where you understand that you've been more selfish is a crucial part of any relationship.
It's hard for all of us to acknowledge that, to take on that less attractive part of ourselves.
But ultimately, it's where your relationship will flourish.
If you want something practical steps to help, try pausing before you make choices that affect both of you and actually ask.
Practice reflecting back what your partner says before responding. And if you find yourself realizing you’ve put yourself first…
Name it. Apologize for it. And take reparative action.
These aren’t dramatic fixes; they’re just steady habits you can use to rebuild connection.
