Because here at The Spaghetti Wall, the mess is the method.
We often enter relationships with quiet expectations—hoping our partner won’t change, or believing they eventually will. And that’s where trouble begins.
In this episode, we unpack one of the most common relationship traps: loving someone for who you hope they’ll become instead of who they are right now. We talk about how expectations turn into pressure, how resentment builds when change doesn’t happen—or happens in unexpected ways—and why trying to mold your partner often damages connection rather than strengthening it.
We also explore:
- The difference between healthy boundaries and trying to change someone
- Why people do change—and why that isn’t the problem
- How past harm, resentment, and “potential thinking” keep couples stuck
- When acceptance is healing—and when a relationship may no longer be compatible
This episode is about learning how to grow together without control, pressure, or conditional love—while still honoring your limits, needs, and deal-breakers.
