My partner thinks I'm being negative when I discuss issues like death and spirituality. Should I keep it light? How can I engage her in topics that interest me?


In partnership, we need to feel we can share what is closest to our hearts. Spirituality is a core issue and it would be too bad to withhold that side of yourself from your partner. However, we also need to find a balance. Every subject or feeling does not necessarily need to be shared with our partner. -Sometimes we need others to share with feelings or beliefs who are not in synch with our partner. Also, examine your tone. Could it be that the way you speak comes off as demanding or superior? I suggest you seek balance-share some of this side of you with others and some with your partner.

I come from a divorced family. My parents split up when I was 13. Should I assume that I'm damaged goods?

Why would you take on a negative self-identity like that? Life is constantly renewing itself and so can you. Remember-what happened to you is not your fault, but it is your RESPONSIBILITY to get the help you need to work through past experiences that may be damaging your life today. If everyone whose parents divorced gave up on themself, we would have no presidents, senators, writers, actors, therapists, to name a few. This is your challenge and your responsibility in life to break the chain of generational dysfunction and find a better way of living.
