There are certain things which I don’t like about my partner which lead to big fights. How to handle it?
It is vital to recognise that in any relationship, both partners bring in unique experiences and philosophies, which may sometimes lead to misunderstandings, miscommunication and conflict. Such a climate can be really difficult to navigate, and finding different means to constantly connect and bond with our partners is rarely an easy task. However, it is important to remember that we carry a tremendous amount of power when it comes to the desire of improving our relationships. With effort and a willingness to be vulnerable, we can take steps to ease tensions and maintain a deep connection with our partner. Some actions that may be helpful include taking time to calm down, shifting from a defensive to a receptive state, rejecting negative self-talk, expressing our needs and desires openly, and thoughtfully choosing our words and actions. Remember that building a healthy relationship takes work, but with dedication and patience, it is possible to create a strong and loving bond with our partner.
