There is no shame for you or for any of us to admit that you struggle in your marriage. There is no such thing as a problem-proof relationship. If you expect your relationship to be smooth sailing, you may fall hard when it isn’t. What you see as a “problem” in your marriage is also a door for new opportunities

We are afraid of being seen as the “bad guy” in our partner’s eyes. We are afraid that they may stop loving us because we say “no” to things that we are not comfortable doing. There are many reasons why people feel hesitant or neglect boundary setting with their significant other.
