When you're spiritually awakening and your partner isn't, you might slip into teaching them instead of meeting them as an equal. That teacher-student dynamic kills the polarity between you and can become controlling, even if you mean well. The question is whether you can stay without trying to fix them.
What to do if your partner is not matching your spiritual growth. Do you stay in the relationship? Can you support them?
It's important to understand what your role is within a relationship, and I think sometimes what happens is when we go through a spiritual awakening, we become so excited about all these new things that we're learning and we want our partner to grow as well. But then what can happen where you become aware of certain patterns and you want to not be alone on your journey, so what you do is you try to get your partner on board, but then you're also depolarizing the polarity in the relationship. So then what happens is you go into like a teacher role. You go into a role where you are in a way holding space for them, helping them, trying to direct them, which also enables them. It's a form of codependency. It's a way of taking their power away from them in a way and not reflecting back to them that maybe there is a dissonance from where they are to where you are. But it's also a certain level of control that happens where it's trying to control and putting a condition onto the relationship
