"I want to fix our relationship, my other half doesn't think anything needs to change"
from Permission To Desire: Relationships, Sex, Love, and Liberation · host Brian G. Murphy
You cannot make your partner change. You can’t make him want to have sex more often. Or make him be more comfortable with non-monogamy. Or talk about his feelings more openly.That’s a good thing, actually. It means you don’t have to wait for things to change because you do have control over yourself and how you show up in the relationship. In this casual conversation of an episode, I share with you what you CAN control and what you can do to make intimacy, honesty, vulnerability, and growth inevitable in your relationship. If you feel trapped because you want to fix your relationship but your partner doesn’t even think anything needs fixing… this is the episode for you.Enrollment for Relationshift is sold out and now closed.
