Operating Instructions in Relationships

  • Shared interests do not equal understanding each other's "operating instructions."
  • Communicate your needs and desires explicitly instead of assuming your partner should "just know."
ADVICE

Early Intervention in Relationships

  • Address relationship issues early on, while they are still small.
  • This prevents resentment and makes solutions easier to find.
INSIGHT

Boundaries and Responsibility

  • Be mindful of how terms like "boundaries," "gaslighting," and "narcissism" are used.
