I call these the troublesome triad.

This triad, if not understood as intrinsic to the human condition, will lead to countless misunderstandings that you and your partner will presume to be intentional and personal.

So how can you avoid these misunderstandings? Be curious, not furious.

Check and cross-check your perceptions: what you hear, what you say, and what your partner hears.

Ask yourself: Are we talking about the same thing? Is my face saying something different from my words? Is my voice? Is the shortcut I’m using with my partner really being understood?

All of us can become arrogant about what we believe is true. The best way to error-correct is to remain curious, friendly, flexible, humble, and open to being wrong. Your relationship’s integrity is what keeps you safe and secure, not your adherence to fact, righteousness, or perfection.
