I have to improve in understanding how they feel and how sometimes they exaggerate their feelings because they want to make sure they are heard
Im terrified of sharing certain emotions, because im afraid my partner sees me as weak or fragile, instead of my emotion is big and important. Im sure she will be accepting, but my ex would ridicule me for being weak when i was sad, and that feeling is stuck in me
My wife and I have not developed the skills to have healthy conflict, and it is usually evident in the bedroom. I’d like to figure out how to have healthy, smaller conflict instead of being on a roller coaster.
I think I mostly just need to work on not avoiding conflict. Things are always better when issues are confronted at the time rather than boxing them up for later. The conversations can be hard but it’s always far less stressful overall.
