"When we let resentment build we can find ourselves becoming more and more irritable and even angry.⁠
⁠
Some might chalk it up to 'you're an angry person.'⁠
⁠
Resentment left to grow breeds undesirable emotions.⁠
⁠
Does it mean we're angry people? No. It means we may have unmet needs that have been lingering for quite some time."⁠
⁠
Our partners are not mind readers. Speak your thoughts, needs, and emotions before it builds into resentment and anger.⁠
⁠
What's an unmet need you have?⁠⁠

Despite what some people say, there's no such thing as "constructive criticism" during conflict.

No matter how much trust and intimacy there is in a relationship, it’s nearly impossible for someone to listen to a personal attack without becoming defensive. This is true even for very happy couples, as witnessed in Dr. John Gottman’s Love Lab.

When we express our needs in a negative way, we sound critical. This triggers our partner to become defensive and conflict resolution becomes more difficult. Notice the difference between saying “You never pay attention to me!” and “I feel lonely, and would love to spend more quality time with you." The first example is accusatory, whereas the second allows for deeper connection.

How can you turn your criticism into wishes? Learn how to transform any complaint about your partner into a positive need with the Gottman Relationship Coach. Get started today: https://bit.ly/3njDcvD
