There’s a reason you chose your partner — and it’s not just about love or shared interests.

You were drawn to them unconsciously because they trigger the same wounds you wished they would save you from.

In those painful and disappointing moments, most of us fight, shut down, or over-accommodate.

But that younger part of you that’s reacting doesn’t belong in the driver’s seat.

Instead, we must use these moments not to repeat the past, but to rewrite it. Not by controlling your partner, but by changing how you show up and inviting them to meet you there.

That is how we heal.

There are current lawsuits brought by parents against the creators of ai chatbots whose children died by su***de after conversing with chatbots because of how the chatbots seemed to encourage the individuals to follow through on su***de plans. A new, important conversation to have with kids/teens and check in regularly. My teen using ai for help with homework. It could very easily turn into looking to ai for help in other areas and it will be important for us to continue to check in about how it’s going.

Many teens are using artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT for everything from homework to relationship advice. Experts say parents must lead the way in helping them understand the technology.

What’s unkind is going along with what you don’t want, pretending it’s fine when it’s not. That’s not generosity — it’s self-abandonment dressed up as politeness.

And the cost? Resentment. Quiet at first, then louder. It builds. It leaks out in snide comments, in cold silences, in pulling away from the very person you’re trying to protect.

You can’t have true intimacy without honesty.

You can be loving and assertive. If something doesn’t work for you, the kindest thing you can do — for both of you — is to say so.
