I'm coming off a terrible weekend of fighting with my husband of 5 years. We struggle with communicating effectively with each other. I talk a lot about "seeking first to understand, then to be understood". I got to work today and immediately needed to use those very skills in a critical situation. It changed my heart to offer a crying co-worker what I couldn't offer my husband. I messaged him immediately and apologized for how I showed up during the fight. He's a good man, don't want to lose him, and I wish so much we didn't have earth shatteringly bad fights. I believe I can only change me and I am working on it but, man, sometimes I need him to see how he is also contributing to the conflict. Relationships and communication can be like crawling across broken glass while trying to escape a house that's on fire. Anyone have any advice on how to interrupt patterns of terrible fighting in a romantic relationship?
