Scenario

When partners feel threatened by each other's self-advocacy

My husband says he supports my therapy and self-work but every time I start setting boundaries or advocating for myself more, he gets defensive and says I'm becoming selfish, and I can't tell if he's right or if this is what growth actually looks like.

More people experience this than they realize.
