Have you ever wondered why a previous relationship with a seemingly ideal partner just didn’t work out in the end? Maybe the two of you had so much in common. But they would never allow themselves to be truly vulnerable with you. Or perhaps you genuinely loved your partner. Yet they relied on you so heavily for all of their emotional needs that you eventually had to step away from the relationship.

When you and your partner were dreaming about having children of your own one day, you likely never anticipated that you would struggle to conceive. But infertility is far more common than most couples realize before they begin trying for a baby.

Perhaps you feel like you’ve been doing far more around the house than your partner. Or maybe your partner has recently expressed to you that they’re frustrated with how many domestic chores they’ve been shouldering lately.

You may have had a traumatic experience that has forced you to become more protective of yourself, and it seems like no matter how kind your partner is, you’ll always have trouble putting your trust in them.
