Your partner was never meant to be everything... We can start believing our partner should just know what we need... respond the way we would... and always be there when we need them. And when they don’t... it can feel like they don’t care enough. But sometimes the hurt isn’t only about what they did... it’s about what we expected them to know without us saying it. Loving someone also means remembering they are their own person: ♥️ With their own history ♥️ With their own needs ♥️ With their own way of seeing things That’s why being able to communicate what we need matters. We can love each other deeply... and still have different needs, opinions, and ways of doing things. A healthy relationship allows both people to be themselves... while still choosing each other #healthyrelationships #relationshipadvice #drlauraberman
