Someone emailed me recently, asking how to deal with individual stress , when in a relationship, so that such stress doesn’t contaminate the whole relationship system.
I thought this was such a valid and important question.
Because, let’s be honest:
- Who bears the brunt of our worst, most heavily-pressured days? Our partners, right..? (And possibly our kids).
- Who suffers, when we’re moody, tired, hormonal, and stressed..?
- Who ‘sucks the hind tit’ (forgive me :-), when we’re out of emotional, intellectual and physical bandwidth..?
- Who is usually last in the queue, when we’re handing out party favours and general pleasantries…
Not all stress is bad.
