I Had to Become a Man in My Relationship (Before I Lost Her)

This episode was one we knew we had to have, and it was a long time coming. Grant opens up to Aja about the moments he realized he wasn't man enough for the relationship he wanted to have with her. From being emotionally passive, to struggling financially, to putting in the bare minimum, and almost losing Aja completely — Grant shares what the most difficult parts of growing up while being in a relationship really look like, which is something people don't talk about nearly enough.Aja and I have been together since our early 20s, and you don't realize how far you have to grow until somebody is putting a mirror in your face and showing you exactly what needs to change. Growing to be the man she needed wasn't easy, but it was what it took to become the partner Aja deserved.In this episode, we get into the years of clashing, the resentment that built up, and the breaking point where Aja couldn't see a future with me anymore and how she felt as someone who refused to lower her standards for love. We talk about what it actually felt like for me to not show up as the man in the relationship, what finally pushed me to change, and how Aja began to trust me again — the small moments, the big shifts, and everything in between.If you're in a relationship where you feel like you're falling behind, struggling with how to be the man your partner needs, or trying to figure out how to rebuild trust after you've dropped the ball, we made this episode for you. This is our real experience and relationship advice as two people who lived through it, chose each other anyway, and made it to the other side. Leave us a comment and let us know where you are in your journey, let's talk it out and hopefully we can help get you to the other side too.Because we love it over here and want that for you.Comment Your Thoughts!Besties, let us know what y'all think on this one!-Grant & Aja
