Relationship Score Keeping

Keeping score in a relationship can become both exhausting and toxic. When we start keeping track of “I’ve done this and you’ve done that”, the relationship starts to become more about transactions and “what have you done for me lately”. You might feel as though you’re walking on eggshells or have to constantly perform. .
.
This applies to sexual aspects of your relationship too! If you or your partner(s) are feeling unappreciated sexually or even in general, it plays a role in how you will approach sex in your relationship. .
.
Rather than score keeping, be mindful of the things your partner does do for you and what you can do for them. Practice gratitude and appreciation. If you’re feeling like the relationship has started to become uneven, communicate about those feelings and see how you can get it back on track together.
