Embracing the Inseparable Nature of Some Traits

I’m coming to realise that some of my behaviours I want to get rid of are the other side of behaviours I want to keep. As much as I would like to, I can’t get rid of one and keep the other. It’s like trying to get rid of the north pole of a magnet while keeping the south!

Marriage is often this way. Things you want to change about yourself are permanently attached to things you want to keep. Likewise for your husband, some of what you wish he would stop doing is connected to things you like him doing.

And it works the other way around. So, for example, there may be activities you want to add to your lives that can’t co-exist with things you refuse to do. Or maybe you expect from him something that you are blocking.

Just something to consider when you seem stuck.
