Do you feel like your partner’s priority is to defend and protect their parents over prioritizing you? 

Meaning if you say something honest like, “I feel like your parents don’t get me?” or “I feel like your mom said X, and that really hurt,” that your partner, unknowingly, dismisses you by saying something like, “Oh she didn’t mean that.” or “They get you, it just feels like they don’t because they don’t express themselves to you.” 

It can feel like at every turn of sharing your own hurt, that your partner gets defensive in some way, and that can be really frustrating. 

In this episode, I share how important it is for both you and your partner to view your parents as human, which means completely flawed and amazing. This is what allows you to not take sides, and also build more intimacy with your partner.
