Are You Setting Your Partner Up To Fail With Pressure On Them To Fulfill All Your Needs? #43
Manage episode 279589969 series 2810042
One of the reasons relationships fail is our expectations that one partner will become our everything and fulfill all our needs in this life. No one person should be made to bear the pressure to do for us what we should do for ourselves plus what the whole community is for -yet that is the reality of our modern society.
On this week's Interracial Couple Podcast, we delve into the question of how much we can depend on our partners. We discuss:
1. What leads us to be too dependent on our romantic partners?
2. What's the harm in my boyfriend/ girlfriend being my best friend?
3. Why your partner should not serve as your therapist or emotional support creature
4. Taking responsibility for your financial, emotional and sexual needs in a relationship
ABOUT US
MATTHEW started his career as an accidental filmmaker. He wrote a “practice script,” hoping one day he could write one that he could sell or produce. That script became his first film, “Senses of Place,” which went on to win awards on the film festival circuit and was distributed by FilmBuff.
Matthew then moved to Hollywood where he eventually made nine feature films, eight documentaries, and worked with actors Carrie-Anne Moss, Zac Efron, Edi Gathegi, Melora Hardin and many more. He worked with producers Kevin Costner, Bill Borden – Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola and Oscar-nominated director Mike Johnson. He has even shared the screen with Josh Brolin, Neil Patrick Harris, Kane Hodder, Naveen Andrews, and many more.
Last year, he released the documentary film, “Hardball: The Girls of Summer.” Currently, he lives between California and East Africa, writing and developing new projects, while consulting on film and TV projects.

CERA graduated from UCLA with a degree in International Development and Entrepreneurship in 2018, after living in Los Angeles for eight years.
She grew up in rural Kenya and at the age of nine, she lost her childhood home to civil war. That forced her to move to a Nairobi ghetto, where she experienced a different kind of poverty.
This experience shaped her mission. She returned to Kenya to start Ecodunia, a social enterprise that makes a difference in the lives of the poor by creating work opportunities and educating girls from under-priviledged communities. Ecodunia is not only driven by profit, but with a mission to lift people out of generational poverty, while making beautiful, useful and sustainable products.
