Imagine loving someone so deeply… yet losing them…
Not because the love ran out, but because your unwillingness to face yourself got in the way?
It’s not our partner’s walls.
It’s not their flaws.
It’s ours.
I see it so often, an unwillingness to confront our own toxic patterns that we'd rather lose the person we love most than put in the work to heal and grow.
The refusal to self-reflect.
The rejection of accountability.
The defensiveness when they try to reach us.
The avoidance of the hard conversations.
The unwillingness to change behaviours that hurt them over and over.
Growth is uncomfortable.
It forces us to meet the parts of ourselves we’ve been hiding from.
But refusing to grow doesn’t just protect us from discomfort…
It traps us in patterns that slowly sabotage the relationship we desperately want to keep.
Healing isn’t about perfection.
It’s about willingness.
Willingness to listen.
Willingness to learn.
Willingness to own your impact.
What are you being unwilling and what is your unwillingness costing you right now?
