What do you do when your partner wants to spend more time away from home than with you? Is that a sign that there’s something wrong in the relationship? Is there a more serious issue? Is it perhaps they don’t feel safe with you?
In the first segment, I read a letter from a man who missed his fiance’. She would go out drinking with friends and family and he would be home alone, trying not to be offended or hurt.
As she spent less time at home, he got more concerned but also gave her the space she asked for. Soon, the wedding was called off and she was moving out.
What went wrong? What could he have done differently?
Healing needs to take place for sure, but is he focusing on the wrong person during his healing process?
In segment 2, “Mary” honors her boundaries around her boss and friends, but is a people-pleaser to her husband. She’s afraid to say “no” to him but doesn’t know why. In this segment, I ask you a lot of questions, so if you’re in a similar situation, use these questions as a guide to some answers inside yourself.
During the closing segment, I talk about the present moment and some things you can do to be present and even bring meditation into the external world.
