Manage episode 495805586 series 3669419
Your partner won’t set boundaries with their ex – and you’re paying the price.
Maybe they fear retaliation. Maybe they’re terrified of conflict. Either way, it feels like the high conflict ex still has emotional control over your partner and far too much influence in your lives.
You’ve tried raising it gently. You’ve tried stepping in to help. But now you’re stuck in the middle of a dynamic that’s eroding your peace and your relationship.
In this episode, you’ll learn what’s really going on when your partner won’t stand up to her, and how to shift the dynamic without more emotional burnout.
You’ll discover:
- How to talk to your partner in a way they’ll actually hear
- Why stepping in may have unintentionally locked you into the middle
- How to step back strategically
- What to do if nothing changes
