One thing I believe about relationships that not everyone will agree with:
You have to become the kind of person who is willing to let go of the victim story.
Not because what happened to you wasn’t painful.
Not because your partner is perfect.
But because successful relationships require ownership.
The healthiest couples I’ve ever worked with aren’t sitting around keeping score.
They’re asking:
“What am I missing?”
“What could I do differently?”
“What part of this belongs to me?”
The moment you stop trying to prove who’s right and start trying to understand what’s true, everything changes.
And this goes for everyone.
Men.
Women.
Anxious partners.
Avoidant partners.
The people who have the easiest relationships aren’t the lucky ones.
They’re the ones who are willing to grow.
Love gets a lot simpler when two people stop asking:
“Whose fault is this?”
And start asking:
“What would help?”
