20 years is way too long

Twenty years is waay too long for expressing how you feel to the one you love

This cartoon illustrates a discussing their feelings, a couple which have been together for at least 20 years. And it is equally clear that one of the members of the couple has been suppressing his feelings for at least that long.

The good news is that he has finally shared his feelings with his partner.

The bad news is that this positive development took 20 years.

I am fairly certain that you and I would agree that waiting 20 years for self-expression is just a little bit unhealthy.

I wonder how many of us in our relationships are just like him? How many of our marriages, families, friendships, partnerships, workplace staff and employee relationships are suffering, waiting for us to express our feelings? Life is too short for waiting of this kind.

It was for this reason, among many others that I created Relationship Literacy to teach, coach and counsel simple skills for extraordinary human relations, bringing honor and respect to ourselves and the people in our lives.

If you or someone you know is in that 20 year waiting period, waiting to express themselves, searching for a way to let someone in their life know how they feel, then I invite you or them to seek out the support, the knowledge, the trained Professional required to become one of the newly-self-expressed.

Love and life awaits. Please, let's not await for twenty years more.

Please contact me or someone who can make a difference for you today. I invite you to check out my Relationship Literacy Insights blog and let me know how you feel, or what you would say if you felt free to express yourself.

Let me know..
Invites,
