Is your partner holding you back from your goals/dreams?

Compromising is extremely important in intimate relationships because 2 persons have to sacrifice a piece of who they are and what they desire to make space for their partner, ultimately giving peace to the relationship. The problem is when 1 person giving and the other is receiving with no intentions to sacrifice a piece of who they are and what they desire. Could it be that the person you are with and giving all your time is holding you back from the life you truly deserve?

Here are the SIGNS to look out for:

• NO support of your goals or aspiration. If your partner is weak behind your goals, they have no intentions of giving you support to achieving them and may secretly wish you never had goals.

• They speak down to you. Once you have an idea and you hear how stupid it is or they speak down to you for you to feel stupid and that your ideas are a waste of time, your partner may be in the way of your success.

• They prefer you home and non-progressive. Understand that one key sign of abuse is isolation. If your partner wants you close your social circle and be “home-bodied”, apart from this being abusive, they may be standing in your way to actually living the life you desire or even seeing them for who they are because they know once your eyes are opened, they will be just another experience for you.

• They control your moves. No human has that power as God gave free-will which means you having the liberty to choose. Once your choice of how you desire your life diminishes or fades, it is time to really sit and evaluate that relationship you are in.
