#178: When Your Partner Isn't Meeting Your Needs

It’s painful when you feel like your needs in a relationship aren’t being met. Whether it’s emotional intimacy, quality time, affection, or communication, this can lead to frustration, loneliness, and resentment — especially if you’ve voiced your needs and still don’t see change.

In this episode, we’re exploring:

  • Why anxiously attached people so often get stuck around needs
  • What to focus on if you feel stuck in a cycle of unmet needs
  • How to know when it’s a compatibility issue vs. a communication issue

If you’ve ever wondered whether your needs are “too much” or felt torn between self-advocacy and keeping the peace, this episode will give you clarity on how to navigate these conversations with confidence and self-respect.
