“To make the ‘right’ decisions in love is challenging. There are so many layers of conditioning which not only shape our fears, but also limit what we think we’re capable of.” – Mark Groves
Relationships are one of our biggest teachers and portals for healing. Because of that, they can be blindingly uncomfortable and confusing to navigate.
If you need some insight and perspective, Mark Groves is here to serve. In this podcast, he addresses some really challenging and common questions.
“First, we look at whether we should leave when the passion dies, and why is it that passion often fades in long term relationships?! Next, we dive further into the subject of emotional unavailability. We explore the deeper levels of ‘friends with benefits’, as well as the fear of asking about our relationship status. And finally, we chat about inconsistent texting and what a lack of someone replying can mean.”
Keep learning, keep growing, and honor your needs.
“The thing about hard conversations in relationship, is that they inevitably either fracture the relationship or deepen them.” – Mark Groves
(4:46) “The thing about hard conversations in relationship, especially in ones that are about potentially ending relationships, is that they inevitably either fracture the relationship or deepen them. When you talk, and you share the truth, now you’ve given birth to the truth. And so that is freeing in relationship. There’s no more avoiding and only facing, and in that alone is a beautiful reconciling. A courageous thing to do. It’s so easy to be quiet and not share what we’re going through, to avoid hard conversations to stay in relationships.”
(20:20) “If this relationship requires you to leave yourself, if this relationship requires that you forget about yourself, if this relationship requires that you don’t get to be you, then I don’t want you to be in this relationship.”
(42:08) “It is up to you to be in charge of your security and your safety from a heart perspective, from every perspective.”
