Excuses are what?

When you have a long term relationship like a marriage or partnership, as time goes by, excuses start to surface as to why you may not be so happy any more. You wish your partner would be more like you. You want your mate to have the same wants as you. You wish your partner would feel the same way about life in general as you do. What’s really happening? These repeated excuses that seem like disappointments are not because the relationship has gone sour or communications have ceased. Energetically speaking – an element in that is you want your partner to change instead of you having to change yourself. Think about that for a minute! You wish your partner would take an interest in what you like to do – well there are two avenues to go with that. One is clearing yourself, so you are okay that they don’t take an interest in what you like to do. The other is clearing your way to finding harmony between the both of you – appreciating and respecting your likes and dislikes in what you do and don’t do together. Regardless of who’s doing what, you can still come together in your marriage or long term relationship. Who has to change who?
