00:00Respecting your partner's autonomy means recognizing and honoring their independence
00:04and individuality. The Stoics believed in the importance of respecting others' autonomy
00:10and not trying to control them. But how often do you try to change your partner or make them fit
00:16into your mold? Respecting autonomy means accepting your partner for who they are and giving them the
00:22freedom to make their own choices. It's about trusting them and not imposing your will on them.
00:28But let's be real. Most of us struggle with this. We want our partners to act a certain way,
00:35do certain things, and meet our expectations. This controlling behavior can stifle your partner
00:42and lead to resentment. If you want a healthy, fulfilling relationship,
00:47you need to let go of control and respect your partner's autonomy.
00:52It's about finding a balance between togetherness and individuality.
00:56Without respect for autonomy, your relationship will become suffocating and ultimately
01:02unsustainable. It's time to practice acceptance and give your partner the space to be themselves.
