We talk so much about changing ourselves, but can we use this same drive and energy to change someone else?
Carolyn says:
- People only change for themselves!
- You cannot change anyone, but you can change your response.
- After you’ve addressed an issue in your relationship several times, you must ask yourself – is this something I can deal with in my life?
- Be aware of modifying your own behavior to accommodate the bad behavior of your partner.
Becca says:
- In a positive, reciprocal relationship the goal should be for both people to change over time in a positive way.
- There are so many great people to be with in the world, it’s cruel to try to shame someone into changing for your love.
- Wanting someone to change is really more about you than it is about them.
