  • Tug of War | Letting Go of What We Can't Control [Tim and Mary - Part 3]

    Mary is waking up to the fact that her life revolves too much around Tim. She's constantly aware of what he is or isn't doing, and identifies more as Tim's wife than as her own person. So it's no wonder that when she's not getting his validation, it hits extra hard. She's been tethered to Tim and lost her own footing. On the other side, Tim leans in when Mary's happy with him and leans out the moment she isn't, treating love as something he can give only when it's easy or convenient. Both of them have spent their energy fighting a tug of war neither one can win, and they're both exhausted from the pulling. In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife asks Tim and Mary to drop the rope. For Mary, that means building a life of her own instead of waiting for Tim to change. For Tim, it means working to actually understand Mary's view instead of just defending his own.
