Knowing When To Push For What You Need In Your Relationship
Also be willing to check yourself
Everybody needs to be checked sometimes. Sometimes you could be the one who is only thinking about the immediate results of getting what you want, and what your experience is, rather than how you’ll affect the future and other people. Here’s another great example: your partner’s friend and girlfriend invite the two of you on a trip. You get along fine with the woman, but don’t consider her a friend. Meanwhile, the man is your partner’s best friend and they don’t get to spend enough time together. You don’t want to waste vacation days with people you aren’t that close to. But, did you consider that doing this for your partner will bring the two of you closer together? Because he’ll see that you help nurture his friendships.
