I’m a retired guy who was also married young for 17 years, then divorced. Many similarities to your guest’s story. A person doesn’t get to know themselves until sometime in their 30s. I’m now a relationship consultant in Thais Gibson’s program. She teaches, and it was obvious to me during my life, that it’s super, super, super important to know YOUR NEEDS. The root of most unhappiness is not getting your needs met in some fashion. However, it’s also important that your partner know their needs. Then, you need to know each other’s. The source of most disagreements are misaligned needs among the partners. Sadly, most people don’t know they have needs, let alone know what those needs are. However, I can’t emphasize how important it is to go through the analysis like we do in her program.
