When The Relationship With Your Partner Becomes Draining

It’s like they’re wearing a sandwich board stating “Doomsday” while crying out the message “we’re doomed”, “we’re doomed” for all to hear.

As they pass around more sandwich boards to others, the cries become very unwieldy. It’s a pity party indeed as the chanting, in unison, begins “Doomed, Doomed, Doomed”. No one is thinking, only complaining. Everything is a crisis.

Whether a friend, partner, or family member started the party, it’s times like these that you find extreme mental pain to be present. Sympathy and support are needed—not arguments and criticism. And for you, you disconnect from the drama.

From training with the Stoicess, you know you need to find ways to give support while focusing intensely on finding a workable answer to the issue. And with God’s help, once that answer is found, you reconnect with your beloved and bring them back to a moment in their lives, a moment before they started slipping into such undermining imaginations.

So, in the end, you both wind up finding your way through – together!

Now using My S-T-O-I-C Storytelling Meditation method:

(S) The emotional state of my partner is draining me. What should I do?
(T) To bear trials with a calm mind robs misfortune of its strength and burden.” Seneca
“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” Jesus
(O) I stayed calm and asked the Lord for help.
(I) I realized that staying calm, while seeking and praying for an answer, is God’s armor given to me.
(C) The character trait I improved was remaining steadfast in my God.

The Stoicess’ Secret:

When your world begins a pity party, disconnect so your mind can remain more hearty.
