Focus on your needs
Dr. Louis recommends when couples are discussing a difficult event the offended party doesn’t frame their statements around blame, but rather, their own feelings. “Talk it through in a way that’s not attacking the other person…Focus on your own emotion and making a positive request from your partner. For example, ‘It would really make me feel supported if I knew we could have balance in what we’re both doing for our families.’”
