Relationship Emotional Disconnection l Episode 5

In this episode, we discuss how hitting below the belt can be detrimental to the current and future state of your relationship. It is not uncommon to have a disagreement with your Partner. It is almost expected because there will be times where you both are not on the same page. The problem becomes when a disagreement turns into a TKO and you hit below the belt. It is vital that you effectively communicate your concerns without disparaging your partner. In a fight, your ultimate goal is to knock out your opponent but this should never be your goal in a disagreement with your Partner.
