The Cult of Preferences/Boundaries And How They Sabotage Intimacy And Connection

Have you heard "Why would you want me to do something I don't want to do?" Or been faced with a rigid partner who puts their own boundaries and preferences above you and the relationship as a whole? This episode covers a lot, including analogies between parenting where people bring their A game and relationships where people don't, the logical conundrum of thinking your partner shouldn't even want you to do something you don't want to do (bet this doesn't work for you in the inverse), analogies between the wife who won't give a BJ and the husband who is an unenthusiastic jerk about the curtains or date night or whatever else, and how to best expedite your progress in couples work.  Therapy: www.bestlifebehavioralhealth.com Subscribe!  The most recent paid episode was on men who feel everyone thinks their wife is out of their league. https://anchor.fm/drpsychmomshow/subscribe Join my secret Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/becomesupporter/DrPsychMom Links: https://www.drpsychmom.com/2020/07/11/resolve-disagreement-both-needs-met/ Sacrificing for Your Partner podcast: https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episode/e1i0rcv
