This Video Of Will Smith Saying You Are Not Responsible For Your Partner’s Happiness Is Everything!

So a lot of us think that it’s our partner’s responsibility to make us happy and vice versa. Well, Will Smith who has been married for over 20 years says otherwise.

The ‘Men in Black’ actor who is married to Jada Pinkett-Smith had this to say on Instagram, “You can make a person smile, you can make a person feel good, you can make a person laugh but whether or not a person is happy deeply, totally and utterly out of your control.”

I remember the day I retired. I said to Jada, ‘I retire, I retire from trying to make you happy. I need you to go make yourself happy and just prove to me that it’s even possible.’ After we cracked the hell up, we started talking about it and we came into this false romantic concept that somehow when we got married, we would become one. We realized that we were two completely separate people on two completely separate, individual journeys and that we were choosing to walk separate journeys, together.” he continued

Will concluded by saying, “Her happiness was her responsibility and my happiness was my responsibility and we decided that we were going to find our individual internal, private joy and then we were going to present ourselves to the relationship and to each other, already happy. Not coming to each other, begging without empty cups out demanding that she fill my cups and demanding that she meet my needs. It’s unfair and it’s kind of unrealistic and can be destructive to place the responsibility for your happiness on anybody other than yourself.”
