My Girlfriend Took Me Down In Front Of Everyone; What Should I Do?

In this episode of Sharing My Truth, we address a listener’s dilemma that’s as old as relationships themselves: what happens when your partner is better at something than you? One of our listeners, who will, of course, remain anonymous, has written in to share his struggle. He’s taking judo classes with his girlfriend, who, despite not being physically stronger and quite petite, consistently outperforms him. She also makes it clear that she is better than him. It’s affecting their relationships dynamics. Her judo skills are bruising his ego and creating tension in their relationship. But who is causing the problem — him for his bruised ego or her for poking at his weakness? Is being a competitive couple a recipe for disaster? Do love and competition go together?
