Welcome back to Relationship Reset! Ready for another deep dive into the messy, beautiful world of long-term relationships? Let's do this!

Do you ever feel like your relationship is slowly slipping away, even if you're not fighting constantly? It might be those tiny, seemingly insignificant moments that are breaking down the foundation of trust.

• How can you create a safe space for your partner to be vulnerable and share their feelings?
• The dangers of micromanaging and how it can erode trust.
• Practical tips for rebuilding trust, including active listening, setting boundaries, and practicing self-awareness.

Why This Matters:

Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. When trust is broken, it can lead to disconnection, resentment, and even a breakdown of the relationship.

Your Next Steps:

• Identify one area where you might be breaking trust with your partner.
• Commit to making a change and practice one of the tools or strategies discussed in this episode.
• Have an open and honest conversation with your partner about trust in your relationship.

Trust is built (and broken) in the small, everyday moments. By being mindful of our actions and practicing healthy communication, we can create a relationship built on a solid foundation of trust and respect.
