Why Partnerships Hurt So MuchWhy the relationships we rely on most can bring out our best and our worstWhy does conflict with the person you love hurt more than anything else? In this New Year episode of Rich in Relationship, we explore why partnership pain feels so intense, especially when couples share goals, responsibilities, and even work together.Through the story of Brad and Gwen, we show how deeply intertwined partnerships activate identity, safety, power, and attachment, making growth feel threatening even when both people want the same future. This episode reframes partnership pain not as failure, but as a signal: a sign that growth is happening faster than the relationship’s structure can support.You’ll learn why love hurts most when it matters most, how shared goals can still create conflict, and how understanding the purpose of partnership pain opens the door to real forward movement,at home, at work, and in life.#relationships #relationshipadvice #relationshipgoals #couplesgrowth #partnershipgoals #loveandgrowth #emotionalintelligence #attachmentstyles #relationshiphealing #personalgrowth #mindsetshift #selfawareness #healthyrelationships
