I need to not pick fights in my relationship because when I overthink
I need to be honest about the way that I feel.
More direct to resolve conflict, specifically at work and also in some ways with my partner, instead of shying away from it
I need to be more direct about what I need in conflic situations
I need to work on having more questions to ask when someone shares something real
Right now, we just avoid all conflict and never really talk about anything personal, or discuss our sex lives and whether or not we are happy with how things are currently. It means nothing changes, and feels like there’s some stuff bubbling under the surface.

I think I need work on not shutting out a partner when there is a conflict. Instead, bring it up with them in order to create the closeness and connection that I crave from them.
Communication and understanding
Talking more about our sex life
Our sex life, I hate it when she is so understanding and I try to avoid the conversation
I hate myself that I can’t look at her body and love her body

I first of all need to work on me. For when I am with her, I feel her love so strongly. But once alone, I empty myself faster than a sieve and doubt her love. But after some months of this now, I am intellectually sure of her love 24/7, and can talk to myself and go calm. Now my emotions just need to learn to follow.
Not just avoiding conflict on both sides by not addressing any issues we might have and burying it.

Not to be so judgy, to listen
At the moment, with my girlfriend, she is keeping her distance from me. We live about an hour and a half drive apart and haven’t seen each other in two weeks. I appreciate her need for space, but I believe the time has come where I need more from her. I have already communicated those needs, and have guessed at the moment she feels overwhelmed and needs space. However, I need to hear that from her own mouth, and for her to communicate that more directly. I think I will start by bringing up this when I get to see her this coming weekend, or over the phone if it makes more sense.
I need to work on being honest and upfront - not burying what I’m feeling

I would just live a different response to questions than “I don’t know”, it solves nothing and there is no room for come back or to take it further
