The hardest part of having a difficult conversation with your partner... is often finding the right words. You can love someone and still feel hurt by them. You can need something from them and still be afraid to ask. And when we don’t know how to say those things... they can come out as blame, anger, criticism, or shutting down. Then your partner may react to the delivery... instead of hearing the hurt underneath it. Learning to speak from vulnerability gives the other person a better chance to understand what you actually need.
