Let it be your thing. If your partner will at least support you in doing your thing, then it&#39;s all good. Maybe someday it&#39;ll be their thing too. Maybe they need to see you do it for awhile before they want to try it themselves. Maybe it&#39;ll never be their thing. That&#39;s ok. You&#39;re two separate people, you can&#39;t expect to need or want the same thing at the same time.  Your partner doesn&#39;t have to copy you to be supportive. They just need to give you the time and space that you need, to do what you need to do, to be the best version of yourself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mari E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find it so hard!!!
