Ep.117 The pressure we put on our partners

July 27, 2026·44 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

We all have needs in our relationships, but what happens when we start expecting our partner to meet all of them? In this episode, we unpack the pressure we can unknowingly place on the person we love, why it happens, and how it can create resentment, disconnection, and impossible expectations. We also talk about the importance of learning to meet more of your own emotional needs, recognizing when your partner simply doesn't have the ability to show up in a particular season, and how shifting these expectations can create a healthier, more connected relationship.   Ready to do the work and go deeper in your own healing?
