Hi there,
First of all, don't be ashamed if you feel this. If you find yourself wanting to assert more influence, it's a positive sign that you recognize your own worth.
Emphasizing your perspective is essential because you deserve to have your voice heard and respected. If taking more initiative seems daunting, start with something simple like choosing a movie or planning a weekend activity. This can be a small yet powerful way to experience the benefits of expressing your desires more clearly.
Growing more comfortable with initiating can profoundly enrich your relationship, introducing a sense of balance and mutual respect that might have been missing. Let yourself lean into these moments of leadership; they can lead to a more engaging and equitable partnership.
Always remember, the goal is to create an environment where both partners can openly share and value each other’s contributions.
I hope this helps 😚
