5 MISTAKES YOU SHOULD AVOID TALKING TO YOUR PARTNER

Honey, we have to talk! When talking to the partner, there are certain rules of conduct for communication to work.

Honesty and trust - these are the cornerstones of every relationship. But communication and how we treat the partner in conversation are also important to maintain love. But not everything runs smoothly there. You should avoid these five communication errors!

1. Don't listen

The key to successful communication is understanding your partner. Attention signals, such as small comments such as "hm", nodding, eye contact and an attentive posture, show the other person that you are interested in what he is saying and that you value him.

2. Don't talk at all

Not addressing problems to maintain harmony? Not a good idea! If you keep silent about what is bothering you, the anger will only build up. Small things quickly become a big argument. Say what is bothering you - your partner can't read minds after all!

3. Generalizations

"You never have time for me!" Do you feel caught? Words like "never" or "always" quickly lead to accusations and accusations and thus to conflicts. Such statements are intensified by direct addressing with "du". Talk about your feelings in first person. It is more personal and your partner will understand you more easily. 

4. Assume behavior

Statements in which the other person is accused of negative things lead to reactions of defiance. Anyone who accuses his partner of "you're not going there anyway" should not be surprised if he actually stays at home.

5. Impersonal questions

Would you like to know from your partner every evening what his day was like? However, this can quickly be seen as a platitude, as if you don't know what else to say. Instead, ask him how he's doing! By doing so, you show interest in his feelings and still learn something about his day.
