What I have found is that if I couldn't push myself to do something that would hurt the people I care about, it's because I wasn't suppose to be the one doing it.
That inner guidance that is stopping us from pressing forward is our first sign that we should not be the one administering the resolution to a problem.
We may know more about how to solve the issue than anyone else does, but if we don't have an inner gut feeling that we can do whatever it takes to bring closure to some issue, then we are not the person who is suppose to be bringing closure to it's resolution.
Some else who can view the situation more 'objectively' than 'subjectively' is the person who should really be handling it, perhaps under our 'knowing' direction.

I had an unexpected encounter with a girl friend of mine in an airport one time, where she was meeting her father who was there to pick her up so they could both go to the hospital and take her mother, his wife, off life support.
She told me that somebody had to be the one to literally unplug the machine which sat by her bedside and her father couldn't do it and was now expecting her to do it when she got there.
So yes, you're right. Sometimes only you or your significant other can do a particular thing.
