How to Hold Yourself and Your Partner Accountable, Without Being too Critical: Episode 149


Listen Later

After the last episdoe you now think "ok great, I'm doing my part, but what about my partner"? We asked many of you how your partner normally responds when you hold them accountable, and the answers were versions of: denial, defensiveness, withdrawing, being rude, or dismissive.
