Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Monday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Relationship Struggles
Relationships can be super tough, but it's important to remember that in the end, it's totally worth it because the hard stuff is what creates a stronger & deeper bond with your partner.
I want to talk about some of the hard things that come with being in relationships & how to get through those things & have amazing bonds.
Join me in learning more about relationship struggles this week!
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- You gotta have difficult convos. If you want to build trust, get through disagreements & become closer, you have to be able to talk to the person you are in a relationship with. Communication in general is paramount when you are with someone. The relationship will become stronger not because of all the things you have in common or like about each other, but the ability to deal with conflict & have tough conversations.
- Vulnerability is necessary. But you have to do it because if you keep your heart closed & distance yourself emotionally from your partner, that relationship has no chance! You’re not being honest, open & true with them if you aren’t vulnerable. And you may get away with it in the beginning, but it won’t last once they find out you aren’t really sharing who you truly are. Take it slow if it scares you.
- Expectations & taking things for granted. A lot of times we have these expectations of what we want & need & sometimes those can be too high/unrealistic & our other halves just can’t seem to live up to those levels. This can cause a divide & much unhappiness. It’s important to stay away from having unrealistic expectations of others & to stop comparing your relationship to someone else’s. Along with this is being careful to not take things for granted. It becomes far too easy to start getting comfortable in the relationship & not being as excited about those little things our partner does for us. We just start expecting it. Remembering that each little gesture & appreciation moments means something to the person doing it & should to the one receiving it.
- You still got your own baggage. Sometimes relationships can bring up old crap. And a lot of times this cannot be helped. However, the thing that will help is by taking the time to heal your issues. No longer can you blame it on the person you started to get involved with. It’s not their fault their presence brought up these past feelings, emotions, memories in you. What you have to actually realize is that you had a band-aid on the situation the whole time. Honestly, if this person comes into your life & ends up poking holes in what you thought was your healing, that’s probably for the best. It means you still have some healing to do.
- It takes actual work & dedication. The initial excitement will dim at some point & you will have to start actually nourishing the relationship. You will have to come up with new exciting things or reignite old ones, look for ways to become closer & deeper & make sure you are on the same page for what you both want out of the relationship.
