relationships Dear Jaelin,

What do you do when a couple refuses to compromise and they threaten divorce to each other? The woman being educated, selfish, immature and a drama queen. The man educated, family oriented, goal-oriented, driven, and gives her whatever she wants.

Thank you,
M


Dear M,
When dealing with couple dynamics, it is important to look at both parties involved. Thank you for including details for each partner. I would love to ask if you have ever told her "no" for anything. When you provide everything ever asked for, that may make her satisfied in the moment, but it is material things. If you are goal-oriented and driven, are you taking time to give her anything of yourself like your time and your love, things that are not material?

Being a drama queen is really about needing to experience love through external means. The more excitement and trauma generated, the more she may feel loved. It comes from growing up in a family that did not share love from the heart.

Try this exercise:

Sit facing each other on the bed, each of you put one hand over the heart of your partner, then look into each others eyes. See if you can do this for more than a minute or two. It will open each of you in a new way, connecting you to a deeper part of the other. Once you have done this, then talk about how you feel during the exercise, share your feelings with each other and see what surfaces between you. It can be very enlightening.

Many Blessings,

Jaelin

I could get whatever I wanted in my 19 year marriage , but that was not what I wanted. We had just changed too much over the years and had no common interests anymore, never did anything together and if, then I did not enjoy it anymore, I even made up excuses so I wouldn’t have to do anything with him, or do overtime at work- fact: the love I had for him had gone .He wanted to work on our relationship and make things better , but I was just not interested. Splitting up and divorce was the best thing for me, I was finally free of a relationship I felt trapped in. I was never a drama queen , but was rather hiding what I felt for many years, because I did not want to hurt my partner and there was a child to think about as well. With our son being almost 18 I finally broke out of it, felt very sorry for my ex , whose world broke apart , but I could not live like that any longer- might sound selfish (I was a single child) but I have never regretted my decision since then.
