Relationship Tip
Soften your start up: When you have a complaint or concern to discuss with your partner try not to do so from a reactive, angry position. Do your "own" work first, i.e. figure out what is bugging you and why and what you really want. Then ask your partner if this is a good time to talk. Speak from an "I" position, not from a "you" or blame stance. Share the deeper feelings that are hidden under your frustration and anger, s.a. hurt, loneliness, fear and longing. Finally, make a request rather than a complaint. Requests allow for relationship repair and are future oriented.
