Team Me vs Team We
- #YBBGTopic: What shortcomings have you had to overcome in order to be a better partner in your relationships?
- @YBBG_Blog Just learning to allow someone in my heart in general. Had to give up the "me" attitude and start living for "us".
Maya Elious Maaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn... relationships are a lot of work...Checking in...checking on...remembering two mamas' birthdays...putting off things you want to do...missing friends...getting to know the other's friends...
Shopping for two...considering feelings...all the things you don't have to do single.
Ask folks and many will tell you the hardest thing about settling down is letting go of selfishness. Putting someone ahead of yourself is not for the faint of heart...
Going from TEAM ME to TEAM WE is challenging.
THINK ABOUT IT...
What do you do when you're hungry? You think of what you want to eat right? What if your sweetie has food allergies?

Say your niece is celebrating her first birthday, but your boo thang's company has an event and a promotion hangs in the balance...Which do you choose?

You are sick of your Sig Os family and would rather stay home watching the season premiere of Boondocks than attend one more card game at Uncle somebody's place... Do you DVR and go?

You had to go out of town, and while out, forgot your phone at the hotel... Do you even think about the fact that your better half has no idea whether or not you made it safely?
TEAM ME only has self to consider...TEAM WE has another person and a relationship to consider. TEAM ME can let an opposite sex friend stay over who may be unable to drive home, or go change a flat tire across town. TEAM WE has to consult the WE board of directors...
TEAM WE means we make joint decisions for things that impact our relation and us individually.
TEAM WE means I care about you and us enough to consider you in my decision-making, and you do as well.
TEAM WE means we are a team...a unit.
TEAM WE means you take priority over some things and people in my life.
TEAM WE is not automatic...
TEAM WE is not an extension of "I like you..."
TEAM WE does not form in "date mode"
TEAM WE is developed over time in seriously committed relationships.
TEAM WE comes with duties...obligations...responsibilities...
TEAM WE requires honesty...loyalty...respect...sacrifice...SELFLESSNESS...and love.
