"The primary fact that we fail to recognize is our total inability to form a true partnership with another human being",
In episode #74 of The Gathering With Roger B., the focus is on the complexities of relationships and why they often falter. Roger, who has been in recovery for over 43 years, draws from his extensive experience and the teachings of the 12 Steps to offer insights into why we struggle to form true partnerships. He explores how our relationships with family, friends, money, sex, possessions, and society are often twisted by our own behaviours and expectations.
Roger shares that the primary issue is our inability to form genuine connections because we either try to dominate or become overly dependent on others. This imbalance leads to frustration, despair, and isolation when our unrealistic demands are not met. He highlights the importance of taking responsibility for our actions and learning to manage our expectations. The episode also features contributions from the Gathering community, who share their experiences and lessons learned about relationship failures and successes.
They discuss the importance of self-awareness, accountability, and the role of a higher power in achieving healthier relationships. If you've ever wondered why your relationships seem to follow the same destructive patterns, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice on how to break the cycle. Tune in for a deep dive into the heart of relationship dynamics and discover ways to foster more meaningful connections.
