Forgiveness = given Access = earned.

Someone who hurts and crosses a boundary or violates an expectation can say sorry and you can forgive them and have love and wish them all the best.

However, don't ignore what they taught you about your relationship and give them that place... that standing back in your world as if nothing happened. That is what they want, and that is a hurt part of you that tells you that if you don't succumb, you won't be okay.

When you stop people pleasing, and you enforce expectations & boundaries, different people will react in different ways... some worse than others. If someone does you wrong and doesn't respect your boundaries, they can say sorry and you can forgive.

This will bring you peace, but this doesn't mean they get the same access to you as they did before.

That has to be earned.

S**t is complicated... jobs end, relationships dissolve, opportunities get lost. The answer to the s**t life throws at you isn't that there is something wrong with you... or that you are broken. This is a pre-determined message that has been learned and needs to be unlearnt.

Do you 'know' your partner's story? Do you know their reasons for 'shutting down' 'blowing up' 'running away' 'becoming needy'? This may be the most important conversation you could have...

What causes your partner to shut down, blow up, run away or to become 'needy'? What causes them to act in a way that pushes you further apart, which is not what neither of you want?

Can you let go and be the one to STEP UP... forget the pain, the power imbalance... all that s**t. Can you tell your partner you appreciate who they are and what they bring to the table?
They may annoy you or make your routine/life difficult, but don't forget you fell in love with who they are. Let go of trying to make them into another version of you and acknowledge and appreciate what they bring to the table.

Therapy is not about 'fixing you'... it's about unlearning the bulls**t feeling or thought that you are broken or that there is something wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you and there never was.

Smoke alarms are meant to give you a warning that you are in danger... but sometimes it might just be the toast burning.

What is the cost of admission you have to pay to be in that relationship? Are you sacrificing your self? Is it worth it?
