QUESTION You’re always talking about doing the work – what does that mean? Does dealing with ‘inner child work’ mean getting a therapist?

HELPFUL LINKS
If you have a NNN ex: (live in truth and honesty and No Lies) , and your partner agrees to stop lying and then they do it again, how many times do you tolerate/forgive this? It could be a stupid lie that made no difference and it belongs to them but since it is told to you, it feels like a violation of your NNN. I get that this is their issue but do I need to learn why that triggers Me and try to be more accepting of their behavior? How many times is too many? It never feels worth leaving “US” over a stupid lie but it erodes trust and that is painful for me. Ultimatum of “if you lie again I’m leaving” sounds severe. Need help navigating this.
hi Darlene, I apologise for my delay in replying. I’m not sure what an NNN stands for, but it sounds like you’re talking about betrayal, forgiveness, boundaries, and agreements. It may be helpful to consider enrolling in one of these mini courses that you can do with your partner, or signing up for Couples Coaching (here https://relationshipschool.com/myrelationshipcoach/).
