19: 7 Reasons Relationships Feel So Hard Sometimes (And What to do About it!)

In this episode of the Confessions of a Terrible Husband podcast I talk with Dr. Jessica Higgins about why relationships feel so hard sometimes.

The topic comes from a post by Dr. Higgins where she introduces 7 reasons why relationships feel so hard sometimes. If you want to check out all of the reasons check out her post.  In this episode we talk about (1) seeing our differences in the relationship as a threat, and (2) we don’t know how to deal with feeling vulnerable or scared.
