“In the heat of an argument, it’s easier to say what we don’t want rather than what we do want.”
This is not an effective way to start a conflict discussion.
For conflict conversations to succeed, it is much more effective to state your feelings as neutrally as possible and transform your complaint about your partner into a positive need- one that your partner will actually want to fulfill.
Try this instead: “I miss you during the day. When you come home and turn on the TV right away, it makes me feel distant from you. What if before you turn on the TV, we could take some time to talk about our days together?”
By expressing your desire in a direct, gentle, and neutral way, it is much more likely that your wish will come true. And it’s always best when they think it’s their idea, right? 😉
