When couples struggle with one partner's need for reassurance

My partner keeps reassuring me that I'm 'enough' but I can tell they're frustrated when I need that reassurance, and now I'm second-guessing whether asking for support makes me clingy or whether they're just not equipped to give it. We're both trying to love each other well but I think my self-doubt is exhausting us both.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very act of seeking reassurance about your worth is creating a dynamic that undermines the worth you're seeking to establish.
