Why Does My Partner

This is one of the most common questions we get in our offices.  If my partner really knew me wouldn’t they get me? This episode we consider being known, grief, checking our expectations and finding vulnerability.  We’ll be trouble-shooting ways to get met and go deeper with your partner.

In this episode, we’re tackling the question “Why does my partner lie to me?” We look at both sides of the issue: "why might I be lying" and "what might I be creating that leads my partner to lie?" It is always a good idea to look at your own behaviors as well as your partner’s. We also talk about the importance of accountability. And we introduce different stages of a relationship, how to work through the times of disharmony, and why disharmony is actually beneficial and mandatory for a healthy relationship.

This episode uses the question “Why Does My Partner Load the Dishwasher Wrong” to look at how couples handle the differences between them and ways to get curious rather than defensive. We discuss what goes on for us when we respond in unhealthy ways and how to flip our responses into relational health.

Whoo-hoo! This is our inaugural episode of the Why Does My Partner podcast and we are super excited to share it with you. We're your hosts, Jules, Rebecca, and Vickey. We are all couple therapists and we met just before (literally) the pandemic shut down while training in Mexico with our mentor, Terry Real. In this trailer episode we're sharing the story of how we met, how we've come to work together, how this podcast came to be, and what you can expect in future episodes.

We're calling this podcast Why Does My Partner (or Why Doesn't My Partner, it's interchangeable) because these are the questions we hear over and over again in our offices. We believe these questions lead to the GOLD of relational healing and the answers under these questions will bring us deep into the skills at the heart of deeper relational intimacy, greater health, and fulfillment.
