If our partners are unwilling to change their attitudes, being pushy probably won’t help. In this situation, it’s up to us to decide whether we’re able to live with their behaviors or if we want to end the relationship. “The goal is to get them on board and motivated about changing or else you’ll just be nagging them,”
However, don’t jump to the conclusion that you should end your relationship because your partner’s doing something you don’t think you can change. At least try asking first. “I do a great deal of couples’ therapy and am always amazed at how partners will try to change for each other when asked with love and patience,”
If you’re respectful about asking for the change and make it clear how important these changes are to you, you may be surprised by how much they’re willing to accommodate you.
