Why Do I Feel Like I’m Doing Everything She Asks For, It's Never Enough? Part 4 – When Her Panic Feels Like Pressure and You Still Come Up Short

13 minutes

You try.
You listen.
You take notes.
You meet every request you can.

But somehow... it’s still not enough.

In Part 4 of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, we unravel the real reason her fear sounds like frustration—and why your efforts, even the sincere ones, might not be landing the way you hoped.

This episode explores the psychological survival mode behind urgent or emotional "needs" conversations, and how both partners can feel like they’re failing—even when they’re trying their best. Using vivid metaphors like pioneers crossing frozen plains, Maurice shares how to replace "resource panic" with something more powerful: consecration, compassion, and shared emotional resilience.

If you’re wondering:
🧠 "Why does she act like I should’ve seen this coming?"
💔 "Why does her desperation feel like accusation?"
⚒️ "Why do I still feel like I’m failing her, even when I give all I can?"

…this episode will help reframe the pain—and offer a way through it.
