The fastest way to build resentment, create disconnection and move them to meet their needs outside of the relationship is to tell them you are qualified to be their judge.
You see judging isn’t loving so the person judging has not only helped their partner feel bad about themselves they have also disconnected from their own core values such as love, kindness, and integrity.
This equals double trouble as both people are leaving the exchange feeling bad.
No one is happy to be judged and when someone feels everything they do is wrong all it creates is a divide.
This builds resentment and stacked resentment over time can help someone switch off any feelings of love.
So if you want to keep the relationship alive NEVER become their judge.
So STOP yourself from making matters worse and find a better way.
