Asking for better treatment from a partner requires an immense amount of courage because you are putting yourself first. It can also be challenging to ask for better treatment when we've been in cycles of accepting what we're given as opposed to asking for what we need.
If you're in a dynamic that you feel doesn't serve you, begin by evaluating what you require and then asking for what you need. If the person you're interacting with can meet your new standard: amazing! If they cannot, trust that they have shown you what they are capable of and consider what it would mean for you to find someone who can.
