Why Communication Breaks Down In A Relationship
You don’t know the intentions
Try to approach every conflict with your partner with this understanding: I do not know my partner’s intentions. You don’t. Never assume the reason someone did something. That’s when that nasty tone comes out. And nobody likes to feel accused of thoughts or intentions. Actions? Okay. But not intentions. It doesn’t give them the benefit of the doubt. Keep your tone neutral. Or, simply ask, gently, why the person did what they did.
