Summary

My guest this week is Karen. See her responses to the questions on the Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet below. Do you recognize yourself in any of them?

Karen's Worksheet

I am afraid of my boyfriend because he doesn't support my spiritual, physical, and emotional efforts to improve.
I want him to encourage my healthy lifestyle.
He shouldn't be insecure about my progress.
I need him to have a conversation with me about spiritual stuff.
He is insecure, unsupportive, jealous, overwhelming, and annoying.
I don't ever want to feel unsupported by him.
