If you want to kill your relationship stone-cold dead, there’s only ONE thing you have to do: Start expecting things from your partner. I don’t mean the standards you’ve set for each other in the relationship itself. I mean starting to EXPECT things that you once APPRECIATED. Maybe at the beginning of your relationship, your partner got you flowers every week. You absolutely gushed with appreciation and excitement… Until one week, he didn’t get you flowers. And you decided to throw a little tantrum about it. After all, he brings them every week–why not this one? What is he thinking? After that little hissy fit…do you think he wants to bring you flowers next week? I sure don’t. The masculine THRIVES on appreciation. And when you take that away and switch it out for expectation…the masculine will shrivel up in an instant. When the masculine isn’t appreciated, it will stop wanting to show up. It will stop wanting to provide and protect and do all the amazing things that masculine energy brings to a relationship… And notice I said THE MASCULINE…not MEN. This is about you too, boo. Grab a drink, sit down, and settle in. I’ll tell you how to avoid killing your relationship over something as everyday as taking out the trash…but you might not like what you hear.   WORK WITH MICHELLE:  Join The Connected Woman EXPERIENCE: https://michellepanning.com/the-connected-woman-experience Ready to do the work?
