Do You and Your Partner Talk About AI in Your Relationship?

It might sound strange, but with AI tools becoming part of everyday life — from planning holidays to writing emails — couples are starting to feel the effects in surprising ways.

# Who decides what AI helps with in your household?
# Do you feel supported… or sidelined?
# Is tech bringing you closer, or creating more distance?
# The truth is, how we communicate about new things — like AI — reflects deeper patterns in how we relate to each other.

Next time you're both using a smart tool or app, pause and ask: "How does this feel for you?" or "What do you think about how we're using this?"

It's not really about the tech — it's about staying connected, curious, and collaborative.
If you'd like support with communication in your relationship, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation. Let's talk.

"Gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true, often about themselves. They may end up doubting their memory, their perception, and even their sanity. Over time, a gaslighter’s manipulations can grow more complex and potent, making it increasingly difficult for the victim to see the truth."

The importance of Boundaries in Relationships
Boundaries in relationships are essential, whether the relationship is romantic, familial, or platonic. They define where one person ends and another begins, helping to protect emotional well-being, foster mutual respect, and maintain a sense of self. Without healthy boundaries, relationships can become strained, leading to resentment, burnout, or emotional entanglement.

"Being chosen by the one you chose is one of the glories of falling in love. It generates a feeling of intense personal importance. 'I matter. You confirm my significance."

“Happily married couples aren’t smarter, richer, or more psychologically astute than others. But in their day-to-day lives, they have hit upon a dynamic that keeps their negative thoughts and feelings about each other from overwhelming their positive ones.”
