The other day, I was counselling a couple when the wife said:
“I absolutely hate watching football matches late at night, but my husband just can’t stop watching them.”
Here’s the husband’s version:
“We dated for 2 years before marriage, and right at the beginning she told me she loved football. And I totally dislike eating healthy food all the time, which she loves.”
Wife: “I’ve always hated any form of sports. At the start of our relationship, I wanted your love, so I pretended I loved football. And you’ve been eating healthy food every time I cooked—you never mentioned you disliked it.”
Husband: “When we started liking each other, I pretended to be a health freak just to be accepted—but I absolutely hate oats.”
👉 This is a real conversation I had with a couple struggling to find compatibility—even after marrying the partner of their choice—all because they chose acceptance over honesty.
Had they been honest from the very beginning, perhaps they would have created space to accept each other’s differences right from the start.
✨ Isn’t that the truth?
Do you struggle to be honest because you’re afraid of being judged—or because you don’t want to lose a relationship that may actually be hurting you?
If you find yourself in this loop, let’s work together so you can express yourself with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.
