Things you cant tell the people you love
In the video we all watched as a class, a couple had many things they thought but did not share with each other. The partners would think, “I just want to be alone”, “Do we have to spend every second together?”, “I want to sleep with your sister” or “You look more and more like your mother everyday”. Thoughts that if this partner were to express could devastate their relationship. Some may think what a jerk, how could they think such things? When in reality most everyone has these awful thoughts and do not share these thoughts because of their fear of hurting their partner.
Is it wrong for your partner to hide these thoughts from you? Do you wish you knew what your partner was thinking? I believe that in relationships there is always something you wish you could change about your partner or a problem you want to fix. But some of these problems are unfixable or are who that person is and it would be wrong to ask them to change who they are for you. No relationship is perfect but in order to improve your relationships, you must understand that their are two people in that relationship and they both must work just as hard as the other to make the relationship stronger. People sometimes get caught up in their own idea of what a good relationship is. This idea may be altered from past relationships, social media or what someone else is telling them is right. For a relationship to thrive and grow, each person must be committed to the other person and value their happiness.
I like your questions at the beginning of the second paragraph because my answer to second one is that yes, I do wish I could know what people were thinking when I'm with them. I think its totally understandable for people to have their own thoughts and still be able to make the relationship work
