My Reactions Almost Wrecked My Marriage

This is a deeply personal video and I appreciate you watching. I’m making this because I want all the people I work with and who get value out of my videos that I have been there too.

My reactivity was in the “fight energy” category where I dominated my partner when I got upset about something or when things were not going my way. It’s embarrassing to look back at my behavior - but facing myself was the first step in me changing for the better.

Our marriage was overall happy and I really didn’t think we had marriage problems, per se - I thought I was an emotionally safe person, but I realized that trust is destroyed in the smallest of moments.

I was determined to save my relationship and to put this pattern and these problems in the rear view mirror. I did NOT want a separation or divorce. I wanted to save my relationship from falling apart and becoming a statistic.

So many couples use reactivity, shut down, avoidance, dominance, and their anger as a way to control the relationship. It’s all dysfunctional and sabotaging. Betrayal is far more nuanced than simply cheating.

If you’re in an unhappy relationship or marriage the best advice I can give on where to start healing your relationship is to look in the mirror and start taking responsibility for your own dysfunction.

When you establish emotional safety and have control of your reactive patterns, you’ll find much deeper connection, more intimacy, less fighting and a much more secure relationship.
