When a partner keeps disappointing you, stop waiting for them to be your rock. Grieve the relationship, set boundaries, and remind yourself you're your own source of strength.
Don't fool yourself into believing that somebody outside of you is your rock. You are your own rock. I heard it when you said at 15, I made the decision to leave. You have always been your own rock. And so don't ever put that external because it takes away from your own strength and from the fact that you've always tried to do the best for yourself.
I'm just tired of being disappointed by her.
Yeah, grieve it. Instead of saying, I'm tired of being disappointed, say, I'm no longer disappointed. Change the language, grieve that relationship. It died already. Set clearer boundaries and also remind yourself that I am my own rock. I always have been, you hear me? Those are the steps that I can tell you that's gonna allow you. So just remind me again, what you gonna do when you leave this show?
Grieve the relationship so I can heal.
Then what you gonna do?
And shut the door and leave it there.
Boom. And then what you gonna do next?
Set boundaries.
Great. And then the third thing is—
And be my own rock.
Remind yourself that you always been. You got it?
