Have you been so hurt in a relationship you've wanted to retaliate? If so, it's a perfectly understandable reaction. The saying goes, revenge is sweet, but is it the wisest response? This week, Del and Barry discuss how retaliation perpetuates conflict and negativity, often escalating situations rather than resolving them. It harms relationships, erodes trust, and can damage your reputation. By choosing not to retaliate, you demonstrate maturity, self-control, and integrity. This approach fosters a more positive environment, encourages constructive solutions, and helps maintain your inner peace and emotional well-being.

Has your partner ever accused you of projecting onto them? Do you put your partner down because you see things you dislike about yourself in them? Or, maybe you put your partner on a pedestal because you believe they have attributes and talents you don't have? In relationships, we project by attributing our own feelings, fears, or insecurities onto our partners. This defense mechanism often leads us to see in others what we cannot acknowledge in ourselves. For example, feeling insecure about our loyalty, we might unjustly accuse our partner of infidelity. Such projections can create misunderstandings and conflicts, distorting genuine connections.
