Do you have a bit of friction in your relationship?

In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, we share the 3 hard truths about relationships and what these mean for you. Whether it be trying too hard to be liked, agreeing with everything your partner asks from you, or disliking certain qualities in others, these tend to bring up some hard truths about yourself.

What we discuss:

01:20: 3 hard truths about relationships

02:06: Does trying too hard make someone else not like you?

05:29: What does the quality you dislike in someone else mean about you?

10:51: Do you need a bit of friction in relationships?

14:39: Can what we dislike change throughout time?

Key Takeaways:

When you try too hard to be liked by others, you may come off as desperate. This will make it a lot harder for the person you’re trying to impress to like you.

If you dislike a quality in someone, it may be because you see it in yourself. Do some self-reflection next time you point something out about your partner.

Relationships, where there is little to no friction, don’t work - you can’t always agree on everything at all times and have a really strong bond.
