#132: Celebrating My One Year Relationship
Celebrating my one year relationship with Melissa!
What did I do different in this relationship than other relationships…Everything!
➡️Picking up the phone and talking versus hiding behind text messages.
➡️Making the effort to drive to see her versus expecting her to come to me.
➡️FaceTime every night before bed.
➡️Text messages in the morning letting her know I’m thinking about her.
➡️Investing in a money coach to talk openly about our finances and feel safe to have honest conversations about our expectations about $ and who pays for what.
➡️Investing in a therapist to better understand our attachment styles and learning language and tools to work through conflict while feeling safe.
➡️Investing in my own healing journey with plant medicine to heal unresolved trauma from the past which blocked me from intimacy.
➡️Invest in vacations every three months and making adventure an integral part of our relationship with Epic trips to Bend, Yosemite, and Big Sur.
➡️Leaning in, having difficult conversations, and working through conflict with language to repair and overcome versus avoiding which I did in the last.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
I’m committed to continue taking new actions to create new experiences and possibilities in my most important relationship.
And I truly believe the best is yet to come!
Men, this is what’s possible when we do the work. To go from selfishness, fear, and immature boy psychology to stepping into our King, Warrior Spirit and power - our healthy masculinity - to make sure she feels safe knowing we got her!
I am truly grateful for the deep level of love, connection, and intimacy with Melissa that I didn’t think was possible because I seriously thought I was broken.
I’m not broken.
And neither are you!
