If you’re in a long-term relationship, have you ever secretly asked yourself any of these questions?

Am I as in love as I SHOULD be with my significant other?
Are we having enough sex?
Am I settling?
Is it wrong that I have doubts about our relationship?
What if I’m ignoring red flags? What if we breakup 10 years from now?
And what is the healthy amount of doubts I should have?!
What is this intrusive voice in my head that second guesses my healthy commitment? Is it my gut or anxiety? Do I trust it or dismiss it?

A lot of people are under the assumption that if you have concerns or doubts, or compare your relationship with other relationships you see online then your relationship is “bad” and therefore you should leave–when in reality, it might just be a natural part of any long-term relationship.

There is so much advice and relatable content for single people and dating but very little for those of us who are in long term relationships. Even in the best relationships, there are inevitable doubts or worries. But those doubts and worries can freak you out… or make you feel lonely and ashamed for having those thoughts in the first place.

BUT YOU’RE NOT ALONE. LEAVE IT TO TIKTOK TO UNCOVER A WHOLE WORLD OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO FEEL AS SH**Y AS WE DO! ;)

I was scrolling the other day and happened upon Relationship Anxiety Coach Sarah Yudkin’s viral videos.

Sarah Yudkin is a Trauma-Informed Relationship Anxiety Coach whose mission is to help women feel more confident in their relationships and normalize the ‘not so glamorous’ parts of relationships that often lead to anxiety.

It’s important to note that Sarah’s advice is for people stressing about generally healthy relationships - her content does not apply to people that are being abused or mistreated. In those cases, an exit strategy is always the best option.

Trust me, you’ll relate to so much Sarah said and I can’t wait to talk to you guys about it when you finish listening…
