Ep 35: He Doesn't Want to Leave, so Stop Pushing Him Away
from Unf*ck Your Relationships · host Michelle Panning
You can't wait to meet HIM. The ONE. He'll be attractive and put together and communicative, self-assured but also safe. But here's the thing; if you're holding him to high standards, chances are he's holding you to the same. So are you in a place to accept his healthy affection? Are you in a place where you can meet the same standards you have set for him? Are you prepared to enter into a relationship with confidence? In this episode we'll look closer at: How finding something and holding something are very different How standards for him are also standards for you A decent man expects you to be able to communicate with a healthy side of vulnerability as needed. Acting out to test boundaries? Nah. Avoiding conflict because it makes you uncomfortable? He doesn't dig it. He's not here to be your father, just like you're not here to be his mother. You both want equal partners. This is why the relationship is healthy and balanced, but also why you're expected to communicate in healthy and productive ways.
