Do you feel pressure to be who your partner wants?

What if love didn’t mean shapeshifting to keep the peace? We can see our partner’s preferences as simply requests — not rules we have to obey or fight against. You don’t need to shrink yourself to meet someone else’s expectations. You can say, “Yes, I’m willing to try that.” Or, “No, that doesn’t feel right for me.” Either way, you stay in your power.
