Common Mistakes: The Timing Trap
Sometimes couples really do need to talk. But for that, timing is everything.
A mistake I see a lot of people make? Assuming their partner is free to have a difficult conversation RIGHT NOW.
It's tempting, isn't it? You have an issue burning in your mind, and you just start sharing it, hoping your partner will respond well.
But here's the truth bomb: Your partner might be:
Stressed from work
Hungry
Distracted by other thoughts
Simply not in the right headspace
The result? A conversation that could've been productive turns into a mess of misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
So, what's the solution?
Pause before you start
Ask if it's a good time to talk
Be willing to schedule the conversation for later if needed
Remember, a well-timed talk is worth the wait!
