I have tended to avoid conflict in my past relationships. Partly to avoid disrupting the status quo and having to make big life changing decisions, but also to avoid having to be critical of the other person or really admit how my faults were affecting the relationship

I need to work on sharing my feelings and avoiding the possibility of conflict in fear of upsetting them. I need to be more assertive to make sure my needs are heard and need to avoid care giving

Allowing unresolved emotions to simmer under the surface until small disagreements/conflicts become charged from the start. I need to be honest about my needs else I will get lost in compromise and resentment toward my partners
Such a big part of it is really just getting your partner to feel heard.
Giving yourself grace is really key to moving forward.
Clear upfront communication from me about how difficult it can be for me to express myself in certain situations.
