How Does It Feel To Be Rejected?

How Does It Feel To Be Rejected?

How Does It Feel To Be Rejected?

No one wants to be rejected, especially by our partners. It stings, it burns, and it leaves a scar on your soul. But when you find yourself in the middle of it, what can you do? Join me in this episode as I share how I learned the importance of finding opportunities to create intimacy in the hard moments of your relationship. Love is an integral part of a healthy, happy life. When you are in love and feeling happy, the sky is the limit, but when your partner rejects you, the only thing that can seem to exist is the ground.

It is a common thing for couples to have problems and arguments. Some of these arguments are just about small issues typical for any couple, but other struggles may be so difficult that one partner may feel it is best to end the relationship. There are many emotions and feelings that accompany rejection, but we can find opportunities to grow closer to our partners in these hard moments. 

Tune in!

Notable Quotes 

  • You are important. You are unique and irreplaceable. Prioritize yourself with self-care. When you take care of yourself, you become your best version, and out of abundance, you translate that to other people and your relationships.
  • Close, personal, and intimate relationships are so important and should be cultivated. Occasions such as birthdays are one of the perfect times to nurture them.
  • A relationship can be a bed of roses from the public eye, but the unspoken bumps are numerous. A simple rejection of a hug from your partner can ruin your evening, but learning the WHY will always make you a more understanding partner.
  • Obstacles are not always negative. A deeper look will show you open doors for a learning opportunity. Always focus on the positive.
