Lesson 33: Couple/Partner Relationships Pt. 1: Slide 41
Check For Hidden Rules
- Behaving perfectly is impossible particularly
when expectations held by you and your
partner are unwritten
- Together write down the main rules of
your relationship
- Check to make sure inner unwritten rules are not a set up for failure for you and your partner:
- Hidden rules cause unhappiness e.g.
“How could I have been so stupid, I
should have known he wouldn’t like that?”
- Validate your inner rules with your partner
