When Your Partner Won't Change

Have you ever been accused of being a problem simply because you brought up a problem? In healthy relationships, it is essential that couples feel safe and are on the same page. It is normal to want your relationship to grow, and to wonder where the line is when it comes to bringing things to your partner's attention that you would like to change. However, there are red flags you need to be aware of particularly if you struggle with fawning, people pleasing, insecure attachment and tend to be the codependent partner in relationships.

In this episode, Lisa A. Romano Codependency Expert and Breakthrough Life Coach, helps us get clear about some communication guidelines that can help us make clear, logical, and fair decisions about our relationships.

Clear distinction between marital problems that affect the partner who is unhappy (unimportant because they don't endanger or diminish the unhappy partner) versus the quality of the marriage because of a serious flaw that the "misbehaving" partner engages in. In the latter case, the unhappy partner is permitted to ask for change. If there no improvement, the survival of the relationship is in question.
