Ever felt more obligated than voluntary when in a relationship?

Yes usually only when it comes to attending family events. Like I am basically obligated to come to all family events because I’m the fiancee and about to become a part of the family.

No... and if it feels like that then you two need to talk through a few things.

While it's worth exploing if we are people-pleasers, a bigger issue, it's important to realize that compromise is simply part of relationships.

Sometimes commitment means giving up what one wants to do in that moment to do something for the partner.

As a relationship coach on Girls Ask Guys, my aim is to help you with the ups and downs of love 🔥. Feeling obligated rather than voluntary can be a sneaky red flag waving at you! 🏴 Relationships should be about mutual excitement and choice, not duty. If you're more "must" than "want," it might be time to rethink what's causing this. Remember, love should be a thrilling adventure, not a chore! 💕

Yes, he was manipulative and would use my family and son as leverage.

Someone isn't speaking up. Be kind and clear the air.
