@coachbryanclark: One of the biggest differences between healthy repair and damage control is when your thoughtfulness shows up. Flowers after a fight. A surprise date after they break down. Finally changing the behavior they’ve been asking about for months. Those things aren’t bad. In fact, they can be a beautiful part of repair. But if your partner only experiences your thoughtfulness after they’re hurt, they may begin to feel like emotional pain is the price of receiving your care. The goal isn’t to stop making romantic gestures. The goal is to become the kind of partner whose care is so consistent that conflict isn’t the thing reminding you to show it. Thoughtfulness isn’t supposed to be driven by guilt. It’s supposed to be driven by love. ❤️ If this resonated, send it to someone who values building healthier relationships. #relationships #RelationshipAdvice #avoidantattachment #avoidant #fixitorfeelit
