There are many people out there who claim they want a relationship but don’t have the self-awareness, emotional maturity, and accountability to sustain one. It’s not your responsibility to guide someone into emotional readiness.

I was one of those people. I had no idea how to address issues or conflict in my relationships, and I was afraid of anger and backlash (having survived an abusive, sometimes violent upbringing). Fortunately, I learned new relationship (communication) skills through therapy and therapist led workshops. My take away is that it’s never too late to be a part of the solution and to have your own back. For me, this means speaking up and advocating for my needs and wants, while respecting the same for my partner. Life is so much easier in this sort of collaborative union. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
