How to Overcome Resentment Towards Your Partner When They Have it Easier in Life

Published: Oct. 7, 2022, 12:30 p.m.

Resentment, comparison, and our partner\u2019s life circumstances versus our own. What do we do when our situation in life seems overwhelmingly harder than our partner\u2019s and how do we deal with resentment in a healthy way? On this episode of Relationship Theory, Tom and Lisa Bilyeu sit down to discuss such matters and more as they address resentment towards your partner in a relationship and how to overcome such feelings in a positive-healthy way. They discuss why we compare ourselves to our partner, why we need to take ownership of our life\u2019s decisions, why resentment is just the projection of our own insecurities, and why we need to shift our focus back towards ourselves rather than onto others.\n\nSHOW NOTES:\nComparing | Lisa and Tom reveal how to stop comparing yourself to your significant other.
