Are you feeling lonely within your relationship?
Do you find yourself feeling as if you are doing all the work of the relationship, while feeling fatigued?
Are you feeling as if you can’t “do enough” to make your partner/ friend/family members happy?
Often times we engage in communication styles and expectations which are ineffective for satisfying relationships. Bad habits form, before we know it and we may find ourselves saying:
- I can never do enough
- I do everything they ask and it is still not enough
- I tell them what I want and they don’t listen
- I feel like I am doing it all and no one appreciates me
- I just keep doing and doing and doing and it never seems to be enough
- I do all this for them and no one ever says thank you or offers to help
Before we know it, we are angry, frustrated and our relationships begin to suffer.
Relationships can be very draining without healthy boundaries and communication skills. When we learn to take care of ourselves and reduce expectations of others, our relationship satisfaction can show significant improvement over time.
