Mary’s Cup of Tea: the Self-Love Podcast for Women
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
There’s often a disparity between how men and women make sacrifices for their relationship. In a long-term partnership, it’s normal and necessary to compromise, but how do we ensure that said compromises don’t make us lose important parts of ourselves in the process?
Dr. Alexandra Solomon joins us to talk about how to identify, communicate, and retain independent parts of ourselves as we embark on a life journey with someone we love.
We talk about…
- how to keep the “me” within the “we”
- is dating objectively harder now than it was in the past? why or why not?
- should we go through our partner’s phones as a way to ensure honesty?
Remember: when two individuals form a unit, there are parts of their individuality that may be pushed aside. It’s not always a bad thing as long as we acknowledge each other’s individualities within.
