Summary
Small things in your relationship can be what build up and cause you to feel disconnected or upset with your partner. Of course when this happens there isn't room for the love, connection, and happiness that you desire to experience. It could be things you say to yourself like:
"Ugh, if they'd only pick up their socks, if only they'd stop being on their phone at night, if only they would eat healthier with me."
Though it might seem that these little things are the way they are and you wish your partner's actions would change so that you could feel better. HOWEVER in this episode you will discover that you are not actually upset for the reason you think you are! We will invite you into a different way to look at these small upsets in your relationship so that you will be empowered by seeing the real reason! (What could that reason be?!)
