Why is it so hard to talk to each other?

When you are frustrated with your partner, communicating your feelings may be a good way to get it out.

But sometimes we are afraid to talk to our partner about our needs.

Discussing an unmet need or a problem with your partner can sometimes lead to an argument or confrontation. You may end up feeling that your partner just doesn’t get it.

This may be a pattern of communication that you are both locked into. This pattern can make you feel stuck and frustrated, even hopeless.

When you try to talk you may feel that you are going around in circles. If this happens often, you may be stuck in a distance/pursuer pattern.
