IMPOSTER SYNDROME IN A RELATIONSHIP

We have all felt imposter syndrome, I know I have felt it at work whether working in high level investments or working with incredible clients as a coach, it has crept in.?
As a performing musician, a wrestler or a stand up comedian, i'm not sure it ever really went away.?
However today I want to look at something people don’t often talk about, feeling like an imposter in your relationship.
There is this often not spoken about transition for men, from boys into being real men and it isn't when you think. It isn’t at 18, or any age, it isn’t when you have kids but rather it comes when you become a lighthouse for your family, when you know yourself deeply and can safely guide those around you in a loving but powerful way.?
I have spoken to countless women and men, who report feeling like the female in the relationship had stopped being a lover and had turned into their mother. They cook for them, they tidy up their mess, they sort them out and countless other things.?
And then the guys turn up on a call with me wondering why their sex life is on the rocks!?
I remember feeling like I had the wife and the kids but yet somehow I was still just a boy playing as an adult. That one day everyone would find me out.?
The truth is guys, is that your partner WANTS you to step up, she married the potential of what you can become and is willing you to step up to the line and do the work to get there.??
If you recognise the niggling feeling that you are an imposter husband or father then I would ask you to consider that your subconscious mind knows something needs to be done.?
This is a sign, this is your invitation to step up.?
Big love
Phil?
