Express Thoughts and Feelings
Learning to express your thoughts and feelings is rough. But HUGE for a relationship. It’s also a great habit to get into. Even if it may seem dumb or embarrassing.
Side note- Just because you’ve been together for a while, it does not turn either of you into a mind reader.
As a kid, I remember my Mom reading a book about how not expressing your feelings can lead to them coming out in much uglier ways down the road.
We should learn to express when we are hurt and let our feelings show. It’s very possible to do without being inconsiderate. It’s always better to talk about someone’s actions rather than the person themselves.
Communication is every thought, feeling or act shared verbally and non verbally between two people.
It can reduce conflict and increase love. Use your words nicely to solve problems and better understand each other’s point of view.
If you need some time to gather your thoughts so you can come up with a better, kinder, way of explaining it to them, then tell your partner. Say, ‘hey. I’m not ready to go over this with you. Would you please give me a minute to go over it myself before Tell it to you?’
If you just need to vent, then tell them that too.
But use your words lovingly to get the message across the best.
If you are SUPER terrible at expressing things in a good way, then look up how to say it nicely on Google.
