Denial: My Life Is Perfect
People  in  a  fixed  mindset  often  run  away  from  their  problems.  If  their  life  is
flawed,  then  they’re  flawed.  It’s  easier  to  make  believe  everything’s  all  right.
Try this dilemma.
The Dilemma.
You seem to have everything. You have a fulfilling career, a loving
marriage, wonderful children, and devoted friends. But one of those things isn’t
true.  Unbeknownst  to  you,  your  marriage  is  ending.  It’s  not  that  there  haven’t
been signs, but you chose to misinterpret them. You were fulfilling your idea of
the “man’s role” or the “woman’s role,” and couldn’t hear your partner’s desire
for more communication and more sharing of your lives. By the time you wake
up  and  take  notice,  it’s  too  late.  Your  spouse  has  disengaged  emotionally  from
the relationship.
