A good question to ask yourself when you feel hurt, uneasy or attacked in a relationship is: Whose responsibility is it to solve this? It's possible you may have modelled yourself on your parents/caregivers. Did one parent take too much responsibility or not enough?
When we love someone but they behave in ways that are painful, we compassionate folks (sometimes called codependent or people-pleasers) often bend over backwards to try to fix it.
After all, we are naturally responsible people, able to solve problems (plus caring and empathetic, too)!
Only…we can’t seem to make this relationship work. 😮💨
1. They keep behaving in ways that hurt, and
2. We keep trying to solve their behavior, and
3. Round and ‘round it goes. 😵💫
It’s a whole-ass dynamic. And we pay dearly for it.
💔 Our emotional health is in tatters.
💔 Our energy is sapped.
💔 Our self-confidence is shot.
So what do we do?
I’d love to help you.
Because there is hope, and it doesn’t have to be this way.
They may or may not ever change.
But you can.
That’s a boundary.
