Are You Afraid To Talk To Your Partner?

Does the thought of talking to your partner make you nervous and apprehensive? If so, you may have a “Walking on Eggs” relationship. Learn why a “walking on eggs” relationship is a communication nightmare.

1. You think about everything you say before you say it.

-This is torture. The mind is on overload already and the need to censor everything before you say it is very anxiety producing.

-Just talk; it’s all going to come out anyway.

2. You are always trying to figure out the other person’s mood.

-When is the best time to talk? The best time is always now.

-OK – here’s the deal. There is NO right time to talk.

-And regardless of how good another’s mood may be, you will always be scared you are going to be misunderstood. Try your best to communicate as clearly as you can.

3. You find yourself rehearsing what you want to say.

-Like a rehearsing for a play that never ends, you are continually going over your lines.

-Regardless of how many times you get it right in practice, it is never what you imagined it to be.

-Be brave and say what is on your mind. It is your opinion and you have a right to express it.

4. You are hurt and upset if you do not get the response you want.

-You cannot ever control someone else, and besides, what does it matter if someone agrees with you.

-Why do you need another’s agreement? Do YOU know who you are without being validated from the outside?

-If you really are interested in your partner, you will listen and not judge.

5. You feel angry and resentful most of the time.

-How bad is that?

-Anger is really sadness turned upside down. When you feel your sadness, you are no longer angry.

-You are sad, and that it because you have denied your Self. If you cannot be real, you have nothing.
