WHAT TO DO When Your Partner Won ’ t Change

A very common reason people give me for why their relationship no longer works is some version of , “ My relationship isn ’ t working because my partner is ....”

For instance ,

“ My partner is inconsiderate . No matter what I do , they won ’ t treat me the way I need to be treated .”

“ I ’ m a saver and my partner is not .”

“ I ’ m an entrepreneur and my partner isn ’ t .” ( or vise versa ).

“ I eat healthfully , and my partner loves their junk food .”

“ I need it quiet , and my partner is really loud .” ( This is me and Paul . He likes it quiet and I ’ m the loud one !)
