Let me begin, perhaps, by reminding you, Dear Ones, that the relationship between a man and a woman is a process in which two people always participate, and two contribute to their life together. And when something goes wrong in the relationship, It is important that both partners are involved in working on relationships!❤️‍🩹But, unfortunately, more often than not, someone begins to give in and cave in, and at this moment accepts the role of a victim. And the “sacrifice” begins 👎🏻Sacrifice is giving love not from inner abundance, but emptying yourself, giving everything to your partner in return, so long as your loved one is always there, doesn’t stop loving and doesn’t leave 😏 In any relationship, it is important to receive and give, but if you give much more than you receive, then this is sacrifice. And before giving back in such large quantities, you should ask yourself, does your partner need such sacrifices? But, as a rule, no one asks anything, and the game begins 🤷🏻‍♀️ The victim will always find an excuse for himself and say: “I am not a victim! I love my man and this is how I show my love and care!” And therefore you can watch how this beautiful “not a victim” dances from morning to night at the stove, washes, and looks into the mouth of her beloved. So, let’s take off our rose-colored glasses and look at life soberly! Sacrifice is not caring, nor is it an expression of love. Sacrifice in a relationship is something that can darken family life much more than quarrels, conflicts and misunderstandings! And I’m not even talking about the position of a victim and relationships with an abusive husband. I'm talking about how the sacrifice of one, and sometimes both partners, interferes with the development of relationships 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻It is important to understand that sacrifice in a relationship is always a person’s voluntary position to act “for the good” of the partner and to the detriment of oneself. Of course, you can blame your partner for doing everything for his sake. However, initially, sacrifice in a relationship is a voluntary conscious or unconscious choice of one of the partners who decides to abandon their own interests for the sake of the other. At the same time, most often the second partner does not even suspect that they are making some sacrifices for him 🤯 Let's try to analyze sacrifice in relationships using examples: 1️⃣ You don’t go to the theater, cinema, exhibitions (although you love them very much) because that your partner is not interested there. 2️⃣ You didn’t go to meet your friends because your husband will be lonely while you’re gone, and no one will feed him when he comes home from work. 3️⃣ You don’t buy yourself new things, dresses, a bag, you don’t manicure because you need to give everything to the children, they should have all the best. 4️⃣ You will give your piece of cake to the child, because all the best goes to the children! 5️⃣ You don’t go to the fitness/beauty salon, etc. because you can’t spend yours time for “nonsense”, since you need to wash, clean, cook, do homework, walk the dog... And you can give a million such examples... Do you recognize yourself? Have you found such tendencies in yourself or your partner?
