Tripped Up in a Partnership
Jeffrey was dating a great woman he was really into, but he tried to play it cool and not show his emotions. In turn, she withheld her feelings as well and ultimately she moved away and the relationship ended. Now he realizes that if he had just slowed down and been true to his feelings he could have avoided this disappointment.
The “DUH” moment that changed your partnerships forever
Jeffrey was really into the woman he was seeing, but she was not reciprocating. The signs were there. Why was he always having to chase the women he was interested in? The DUH was if he is true to his own sense of self he will get his needs met and not need to chase.
