What does it take to be with you?

Your needs are valid. A reminder to stand up, and express what you need from your partner!

So often I think a lot of us, especially in our younger years, find ourselves kind of just like fallen into a relationship. It’s as if I’m, you ever had a bad relationship where you woke up maybe a a year later or God forbid, five, 10-15 years later. And you’re kind of like, wow, this is some times passed and how the hell did that happen and I’m pretty miserable. How did I get here to ever come out of relationship like that? How did I get here? And it might not be an intimate relationship. It might be a relationship at your professional level, right? It might be a friendship, but one where you had suddenly awakened and said, wow, how did that happen? What the hell was going on there? Hopefully if you’ve been through that experience, you’ve had an opportunity to step back and take a look at a few things.

What does it take for someone to have the opportunity to be your partner? What does it take? What kind of standards do you have that somebody must abide by to be with you? So often, a lot of us forget to stand up for ourselves and to take a step back and say, what are values today?
