Tired of arguments that go nowhere? đ¤
The way you express your feelings can make or break your connection with your partner. It happens to the best of us! Often, the problem isnât what youâre saying but how youâre saying it. Thatâs when a simple strategy such as âIâ messages can be a game-changer! Instead of blaming, it helps you share how you feel without putting your partner on the defensive.
Let me give you some practical examples to try:
1ď¸âŁ Instead of: âYou never listen to me!âTry: âI feel unheard when Iâm sharing something important.â
2ď¸âŁ Instead of: âYouâre always late!âTry: âI feel frustrated when plans are delayed because I value our time together.â
3ď¸âŁ Instead of: âYou donât care about my opinion!âTry: âI feel hurt when my perspective isnât acknowledged because itâs important to me.â
đ Why It Works: âIâ messages focus on your feelings and needs rather than accusing your partner, making it easier for them to understand and respond with empathy. They open the door to honest and compassionate communication, turning potential conflicts into opportunities for connection.
đĄ Communication is the foundation of a strong relationship, and small changes like this can make a big difference. Ready to strengthen your communication and deepen your connection? Start practicing âIâ messages today! đĽ°
