Have you ever realized that you’re the one keeping a relationship alive?You’re the one who reaches out. The one who checks in. The one who remembers, helps, gives, and shows up. And after a while, instead of feeling generous, you start feeling resentful.We often think the answer is to get the other person to give more. But what happens when they don’t?In this episode, I talk about why sometimes the only way to stop the resentment is to start giving less—and why doing that can be much harder than it sounds. Because when you stop propping up a relationship, you may discover just how much of it was being held together by you.And then comes the part we don’t talk about enough: the guilt of pulling back, the fear of losing someone you love, and the grief of realizing the relationship may never be what you hoped it was.Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or someone else you love deeply, this episode is about finding a new way to love someone without constantly draining yourself to keep the relationship going.►► ►► Take Back Control When Your Emotions Take Over.
