19. To Vote for Their Choice
“Politics are innately personal. Your partner should never ask you to publicly agree with or support them in a political stance you are not in agreement with.” -Toni Coleman, Ph.D., psychotherapist, relationship coach, and divorce mediator
18. To Minimize Your Accomplishments
“Jealousy is common in romantic relationships, but asking you to dim your light so that your partner can shine brighter by comparison is completely unacceptable. If your partner is insecure about themselves and their position in the world, requesting that you diminish your power and accomplishments will only breed resentment. Becoming a downgraded version of yourself won’t bring you any joy or satisfy your partner’s ego.” -Rhonda Richards-Smith, licensed social worker and relationship expert.
