Figure out where you may not be taking responsibility for your stuff and whether you are expecting your partner to heal it. Also, ask yourself where you may not be compassionate for their stuff and where you may be missing the ways they show up for you, and how you can appreciate it more.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is not our job in a relationship to heal our partner’s wounds but it is our responsibility as a loving, conscious partner to understand and empathize with them. It’s not to tolerate toxic behavior but to adjust our behavior and our request to show we are empathetic and understanding of who our partner is.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The process of relationship is to continue to work on ourselves, work out our own triggers, and move toward our partner. Every relationship takes comprise. Love is a verb, not just the words.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Consider/Ask Yourself:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Are you in a relationship and you keep looping on the same argument over and over again?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "f
