When They Are “Checking All The Boxes” but You’re Still Not Sure
What happens when everything looks good on paper, yet your heart keeps whispering that something’s missing? You love your partner. Nothing’s really wrong. And still, you can’t shake the feeling that maybe you’re settling, or maybe you’re expecting too much.
In this Language of Love session, I respond to an anonymous listener who’s been with their partner for several years. The relationship checks all the boxes, but a nagging sense of absence lingers. Is it a red flag, or just fear keeping them from leaning all the way in?
In this session, we talk through:
Why “something missing” can mean very different things, and how to tell which applies to you
The hidden danger of making excuses for a partner’s shortcomings
How unhealed wounds, depression, or anxiety can disguise themselves as relationship doubts
Why the only way to experience real love is to risk heartbreak
If you’ve ever second-guessed your relationship and wondered whether it was intuition or insecurity talking, this conversation will speak directly to your heart.
And if this resonates with your own story, I’d love to hear from you.
