I often caught myself making wrongful assumptions about my partner that would leave me feeling hurt, resentful, and frustrated.
Here was the cycle I was trapped in...
FIRST
I spoke up in the past and shared something I wanted or needed.
SECOND
That want or need wasn't met.
THIRD
I felt hurt, rejected and resentful.
FOURTH
I didn't want to experience that hurt again so I started assuming every future experience would end the same way to protect myself.
So instead of having a clarifying conversation with my partner, I created a wrongful assumptions in my head.
I would tell myself,
"He won't want to."
"He won't help."
"He won't understand."
But see, the problem is I wasn't actually reacting to the current situation, I was protecting myself from the past hurt.
And every assumption only created more distance between us.
One of the biggest lessons I've learned in love is that assumptions rob your partner of the opportunity to show up for you.
Healing helped me realize that it's safe to have the hard conversations and to speak up about what I want or need.
If you've been having more conversations in your head than with your partner it's time to heal what's underneath so you feel empowered in love.
