The irony of relationships is that the more we like somebody, the more fear we can have. This can show up as jealousy of their friendships, worry that they will cheat, anxiety that you won't be good enough or that they will abandon you, or even panic that your values won't align later on. It sometimes feels like that honeymoon phase can't last forever, amirite?

And yet, there are ways to tell what is a real fear worth having, and what's been created in your head - intuition vs. imagination, to put it simply.

Join our conversation today, where we cover why voicing your fears can help you not act on them, the toxicity of blame and the importance of owning your part, why you should be adding the word 'overall' to your relationship vocab, and the age-old question, 'do opposites attract?'
