Fight, Blame, Rinse & Repeat?

Let's face it, finger-pointing feels kinda natural when things go south with your partner. You're frustrated, hurt, and maybe a little confused. But hold on a sec, are you falling into the blame game trap?

Think about it: is assigning blame actually solving anything? Nope.

Here's the thing: When blame takes center stage, it drowns out the opportunity to understand EACH OTHER. Instead of a united front, you're building walls.

So, how do we break free from this toxic cycle?

1️⃣ Shift from "you" to "we." Instead of "You ALWAYS leave your dishes in the sink!", try "Hey, the dishes are piling up. Can we figure out a system that works for both of us?"

2️⃣ Focus on solutions, not accusations: Instead of dwelling on the problem, brainstorm ways to move forward. "Maybe we could create a chore chart to avoid this in the future?"

3️⃣Team Up, Not Tear Each Other Down: You're on the same side! Approach problems together, brainstorming solutions instead of assigning fault.
4️⃣ Celebrate the Wins (Big & Small): Acknowledge each other's efforts, even the little things. Positive reinforcement goes a long way, baby!

Remember, marriage is a journey, not a destination. There will be bumps along the road, but by ditching the blame game and focusing on understanding and teamwork, you can create a thriving partnership.

STOP being emotionally dependent ❌

SAVE THIS FOR LATER ✅

We often place our happiness in the hands of our spouse, believing that without them, we are incomplete. This dependency can be overwhelming for both partners and may lead to feelings of suffocation and resentment.

Here's the truth 🗣️: You are enough, just as you are. Your happiness and self-worth shouldn't rely solely on another person. Instead, focus on building a strong sense of self-love and independence. Here’s how:

📌 Embrace Self-Care: Prioritize activities that make you feel good about yourself. Whether it's a hobby, exercise, or simply taking time to relax, self-care is crucial. Understand that you are complete and valuable on your own. Your partner should complement your life, not complete it.

🎯 Set Personal Goals: Identify and pursue your own dreams and aspirations. Achieving personal goals can boost your confidence and sense of accomplishment.

💫 Healthy Boundaries: It’s essential to establish and maintain healthy boundaries. This helps in preserving your individuality and prevents emotional over-dependence. Eg- you can have alone time to do what you love and both should respect privacy during that time.

🫂Seek Support: Share your feelings with your partner, but also listen to theirs. Healthy communication fosters mutual respect and understanding. Additionally, if you want external support consider talking to a therapist or joining a support group. It’s okay to seek help to build a stronger, more resilient you.

Remember, a thriving marriage consists of two whole individuals who support and uplift each other, not two halves trying to make a whole. By nurturing your own happiness, you'll not only feel more fulfilled but also bring a healthier, more balanced dynamic to your relationship.

Here are the tips:

Communicate with your partner - it’s the little things that matter. Make sure that by the end of the day, you catch up with your partner and ask them how their day has been. Don’t just ask for details vaguely, but instead be genuinely interested in what the highlight of their day was.

Emotional Connection, physical Connection - A physical connection can reassure your person and make them feel that you’re present with them physically and mentally. Small touches go a long way, whether it's sitting close to them on the couch, hugging them when they return, or just a comforting pat on their back.

Reserve energy for your partner: We spend so much of our time divided between work, family, and kids, that by the time we get to our partners, our tanks are almost empty. It's very important to reserve your energy to focus solely on your partner so that you don’t lose the emotional bond between each other.

Emotional regulation is such an underrated technique

It’s super helpful yet it's quite overlooked.

When you’re struggling with anger, frustration, sadness, and other heavy emotions during a fight 👇🏼

It can be a recipe for disaster to try to talk to your partner at that time.

You both will keep shouting over each other, each trying to keep their points but just fanning the fire on the fight.

Instead, take a step back. Go to a different room, and take a deep breath.

✅ Being aware of your emotions is the first step.
✅ Once you’re aware of the emotions, you will know if it will be helpful to have a partner with your conversation then or later.

If you truly want to find a way out of a fight, emotionally regulating yourself is the key.

It does not need to be complicated. Just take a deep breath and step away.
