“You may not be able to directly control your partner, but as Rick learned, you may be able to influence your interaction with your partner by changing your own behavior. This is called working on your relationship.” LoveRelationshipsPsychologyCouples Therapy Author:Terrence Real
“So, here's the first tip for working on your partner's core negative image of you: the more you refute it, the more you'll reinforce it.

Yielding can work as a core negative image buster.” LoveRelationshipsPsychologyCouples Therapy Book:Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship Source: Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship
