“I’m hurting too,” What to do when you didn’t see your partner’s pain

“I’m hurting too” Has your partner said this to you and you didn’t hear it?

Isn’t it amazing how blinding pain can be? And how self absorbing it is?

This week, my guest from last week, Jen Price, returns with a story about the second time in her long marriage that pain threatened the connection she had with her husband:

• Jen talks about the identity crisis she endured when she dropped her youngest off at college and how her crisis impacted her marriage
• Jen explains why it’s easier to blame than accept responsibility for ourselves and the impact this has on your relationship
• Finally, Jen gently normalizes why we are sometimes unable to see how much our partner is hurting, because our own pain is overwhelming us… and what helps

This week’s conversation builds on last week’s discussion, so if you haven’t heard that conversation, you might want to listen now.

Date Night Discussion

This week, I invite you and your partner to borrow Jen’s husband’s phrase, “I’m hurting too.”
