When couples lose themselves in performed relationship personas for external validation

My romantic partner and I realized we've been performing the version of our relationship that looks good to our families and social circles, but we don't actually know what our relationship would look like if we stopped worrying about other people's expectations. We're both people-pleasers and we've created this couple persona that might not reflect what we actually want.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

External expectations have shaped a couple's identity so thoroughly that their authentic dynamic has become unclear.
