The Burden Of Keeping Someone Else Happy

When it’s your job to keep your partner happy

Sometimes in a relationship, we give our too much power to our partner. We tie up our feelings and emotions to their actions.

If you have done this, you know how it ends.

When you make a person the center of your universe, you are handing them the keys to your emotion. They know what makes you happy, sad, or depressed and they might use it to their advantage(sorry, I am a cynic).

But, if your partner is trustworthy then it may not seem like a problem at first, but it can be exhausting for your partner in the long run.

Is it wise to give someone this much importance in your life, to have them at a pedestal higher than yourself?

Relationships are hard, to begin with adding co-dependency to the equation will just make them harder, somewhat impossible.

It is very important to have boundaries in your relationship, set your boundaries with mutual respect and acceptance.

Make sure that you and your partner are on the same page while setting them, sit down with them, and have a real conversation on what matters, without looking at your phone.
