Emotional Abuse ~ Luring You Away from Your Emotional Guidance
Negative emotion is your guidance. However, many people live in relationships in which they are taught that their negative emotion is their defect and, of course, an obstacle to their partner’s well-being. Sound familiar?
It may start with a simple statement of longing that declares a desire and assigns you as the interference to that desire. Then, once established, you are on a course to prove that you and your experience do not get in the way of the realization of the desires your determined partner seeks.
We Are in This Together
One could be on this course for years, and in many cases decades, yielding to the domination of their life partner just to keep their own negative emotion in check. What happens over the course of time is that we lose touch with the value served by our emotions…(both positive and negative).
Instead of being true guidance, your emotions soon become your own obstacle to shared well-being. I’m trusting you see the inevitable downward spiral of this path.
In order for you to be comfortable in the context of your partner embracing a desire that you oppose, you have two choices: ignore your negative emotion or deal with the consequences of your experience being the deterrent to your partner’s well-being.
