Instead of asking about their partner’s thoughts and feelings, people sometimes decide that they “know” what their partners are thinking and feeling. They try to interpret their actions and almost always expect the worst. For example, if your man is late to meet you for dinner, you might think that he doesn’t care enough to be on time and doesn’t value your relationship as much as you do. This creates hostility and misunderstandings. It’s important to keep in mind that we all come from a unique perspective so listen to the other person and let them explain where they are coming from before you convince yourself of the worst.
