Conflicting or unmet expectations in your marriage have become the norm.
You find yourself on life’s treadmill of busyness. Day in and day out, this busyness of life has gotten the best of your relationship.
Both partners assume the other to be a mind reader.
It’s always the other partner’s fault as you both play the blame game.
“You never help me clean up the kitchen after dinner.” “I always put the kids to bed on my own.” “You never give me credit for the good things that I do.” “You never listen.” “You’re always nagging and complaining!”
Are you repeating destructive patterns of behavior?
Screaming and yelling at each other is something you find yourself doing more often. If you’re not being critical of each other, you shut down and give each other the silent treatment.
How you interact makes you get flashbacks of your parents when they argued. They would yell at each other and call each other names, and when there was alcohol involved, physical violence emerged.
You are worried that your fights will escalate to that level. “But how do I prevent that from happening?” you ask yourself.
It’s time to have your voice heard.
You both have a voice, and you need to have it heard.
Express your needs, wants, and desires in a safe environment.
In this environment, you will learn about fair fighting rules in relationships, how to flow with conflict, and how to be present and listen to each other.
Stop communicating for competition and criticism.
