How to work past resentments in your relationship? One. We have to recognize that resentments come from the accumulation of unresolved disappointment, frustration, and anger. It’s your partner’s inability to meet your expectations of them. Two. Your partner probably already knows how you feel about them, because those feelings will often spill out of us in moment of frustration. But what we often fail to recognize is that they’re just as frustrated as you. Because you’re likely not meeting their expectations either. Three. The way resentment is resolved is by truly seeing and understanding one another. When we say “truly see” we mean to understand your partner at their core, beyond your perspective and expectations of them. But it’s through that process that we want to change for one another. And it’s not about being asked, it’s a desire that comes from seeing the truth in one another’s perspective. But this part is easier said than done isn’t it. Because our own wounds and trauma get in the way. Instead of creating a safe space for open communication and vulnerability, we get defensive, we shut down, or we close off the conversation.
