We often do this mistake of considering our partner as our student and try to teach them or tell them what is good and what is bad. Well, that is the first mistake to spoil the whole relationship dynamics.
They also have an identity outside the relationship, and they have also learned a lot of things on their own before they met you, also continuing this learning even when they are with you. So, stop thinking that they need to be taught like a kid.
Not everyone No one likes to be corrected every time.
There is one spiritual leader whose one statement I like a lot "I don't teach anyone anything until they come and ask me, even its my own kid". If you consider this, you might be a lot happy.
What ever you are considering is good for your partner that has to come from within them. You can't force that from outside. Its as simple as motivation. Its available all over internet, but it will only work when it comes from within you.
- Don't tell them what is right and what is wrong.
- Stop correcting them every now and then.
- Don't force them to do things, they don't want to do.
- Stop imposing your choices on them.
