Conversations from the Heart #117 - How to Cope When Your Partner Isn’t Emotionally Supportive
In this heartfelt and courageous coaching conversation, Prerana brings forward a question so many of us have quietly carried: How much need is too much in a relationship? And what do we do when our emotional needs are met with kind words but little follow-through?
Together, we unpack the gap between good intentions and sustainable intimacy, the heartbreak of feeling like a “complainer” just for wanting closeness, and the painful confusion of loving someone who’s not meeting us where we long to be met.
Key questions explored:
•How do I communicate needs without overwhelming my partner?
•Can someone really change, or are they just trying to appease me?
•What do I do when I feel more like a best friend or roommate than a romantic partner?
•How do I discern whether to stay or go when there’s no malice, just misalignment?
