Quote: “We’re not in a lifelong partnership.” And I was silent, and he said, “At least we don’t know if we are or not right now.”
Jennifer, I am working as a coach. If I heard a client say this, I'd press on what it would take for him to KNOW if he was in a lifetime partnership. What concrete things would he have to know? What goals would need to be met?
This is probably a good conversation to have in C, rather than one on one, because there's so much behind it -- emotions, feelings, the future. But if he were my client, that's what I'd ask him.
Keep the faith (and thanks for your kindness to me at this tough time), Michele
